The Iowa DNR is urgently seeking volunteer campground hosts for select state parks and forests for the 2025 recreation season. Campground hosts volunteer 20-30 hours per week, including weekends and holidays, while living in a free campsite in the park or forest.
While these positions are not paid, they are enjoyable opportunities to spend the summer outdoors taking care of the park. The season starts soon, so apply today!
