IMHO state parks should limit the time a volunteer can return to the same park. We have been in parks where the same host have been there for 5-10 years. Most think they own the park or work for the state and tend to boss other volunteers around. One park has host that have been there for 6-10 years and never leave they are residence. Georgia has just implemented a policy where a host can return to the same park for three years, which can be extended to 5 by the park manager but then they cannot return for a year.
These are volunteer position not employment position and the park should open it for more people to enjoy. They need new blood instead of the same old same old. Rant over sorry.

nbargolf, I couldn't agree more with you! However, it's not just the parks, but also the private owned CGs. The camp hosts we've dealt with are not very helpful nor very friendly. They have created "clicks" and for the New Guy, it's hard to break in to the group. We spent our first winter in Florida and felt like "outsiders" in a full park! We won't be going back…next winter maybe it will be different.
I wish these Camp Hosts would "remember" what it was like when they were starting out…be friendly. Also, remember that you maybe be getting compensated with FH, but this doesn't mean you have to be a know it all.
