Thanks Dog Folks, I guess you may be talking about my post the other day that got yanked. Didn't know I was doing anything wrong. We volunteered at Anastasia State Park in FL. Can't get a much better location them this IMHO. A short walk to the beach and in the oldest city ST Augustine. For a FHU site we had to work a total of 20 hours a week between us.
A heads up regarding Florida State Parks. This is not a criticism, but there are two different types of volunteers in most of the parks.
Normally, campground hosts get a FHU site for 20-24 hours per couple.
The other type of volunteer does maintenance, nature guides, working in the ranger station, etc. That is 40 hours per week for a site.
Make sure exactly what you are volunteering for. We took a "camp hosting" position and when we arrived, found out it was not, and 40 hours were required. Not blaming anyone, but I am real careful about the hours required now.
We only accept 20-24 hours, although we often put in 30-36. The key is that the extra hours are not required, and we do so as our choice.
