PUBLIC LANDS -- The Nez Perce–Clearwater National Forests are looking for energetic, good-natured people to serve as campground hosts for the 2016 season at Red River Campground near Elk City.

The host's most important job is to provide an enjoyable camping experience for the public, officials say. 

Hosts are expected to assist visitors with information about the campground and local recreation opportunities.  They must work well with people, be personable and neat in appearance, and be physically able to perform the following tasks:

• Clean and stock restrooms
• Clean fire rings, picnic tables and pick up litter
• Mow and weed-eat campsites and roadways
• Maintain a Daily Visitor Log

Hosts are needed generally Memorial Day through Labor Day with a weekly schedule of Thursday through Monday, including holidays.  The season length and work week may vary by site. 

Volunteers must provide their own self-contained trailer and generator.  The Forest Service will provide a campsite with water,  propane, gas and a subsistence allowance (may vary by site).
