Call Out For Dedicated Volunteer Campers with Free Camping as the Reward

 

Ben Boyd National Park

National Parks and Wildlife Service’s (NPWS) Campground Host Program is seeking volunteers to assist with the operation of the program during the coming summer holidays in New South Wales Australia..

A Campground Host welcomes new campers to the park and helps them settle in. They become the ‘go to’ person at the campground for park information as well as advice on activities and things to do in the local area. In return the campground hosts are provided with a free camp site, training and on-going support from the NPWS.

NPWS is seeking people who love camping, are good communicators and enjoy being around people to take part in the program. As the program covers the summer holidays, there’s an opportunity to volunteer at more than one park.

Twelve campgrounds throughout NSW will participate in the program over summer, including:

Bournda National Park

Ben Boyd National Park - Saltwater and Bittangabee

Bournda National Park - Hobart Beach  

Bundajalung National Park - Blackrocks

Border Ranges - Sheepstation Creek

Munmorah State Conservation Area - Freemans

Meroo National Park - Meroo Head and Termeil

Myall Lakes National Park - Little Poverty Beach

Hill End National Park - Glendora and Village  

Bents Basin State Conservation Area -Bents Basin.

Volunteers give one to two weeks during the school holidays and attend a mandatory training session. In return, they receive a free campsite and can earn an All Parks Pass after 50 hours work.
