Volunteer campground hosts:

  • NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) are now recruiting new volunteer campground hosts

  • Campground hosts are passionate volunteers who provide valuable support to NPWS staff by meeting and greeting campers and providing them with friendly and helpful advice so they can make the most of their stay in a NSW national park
  • Campground hosts receive free campsite access when they volunteer and have plenty of time to enjoy the park, between hosting duties
  • Hosts are primarily rostered during school holidays
  • This program is a great opportunity to experience camping in our national parks while providing a valuable service to the public
  • Campground hosts would suit people with a passion for the outdoors and volunteering.
