I have camphosted for VA State parks for the last four years. They ask for a 30 hour work week which I guess is ok...however, if you aren't careful you start to get a lot of "will you do this, will you help with that" and you can end up putting in a lot of extra hours. I had to learn to say "no"...thirty hours is all you get. So, thirty hours is my cap.
Yep, Been there-done that. Many of these park managers learn very quickly how to gradually take advantage.
For a volunteer job in exchange for a site it is generally acceptable for a TOTAL (Both of a couple) of about 20 hours. The more intense the work then the less the free hours, otherwise you end up devaluing yourself and everyone else around and after you.
