- RigdonExplorerThe BLM gives a free site in a beautiful area. Propane is reimbursed and a reimbursement for lunch on 4 hours or more is paid.
We find it rewarding and it's halfway between Glacier and Yellowstone NP. And most campers are pretty decent folks. - rk911Explorerthe last time we looked into hosting...and it was a while...illinois considered the "free" campsite as taxable income. best to check.
- capacitorExplorerThe camping fees are included for all days I assume. That would equal quite a lot.

When I campground hosted at a National Park, I got a hat, shirts and jacket, plus full hook ups. I worked 4 days on and had 4 days off. I got paid $15 for each of the days I worked.
Personally I think it is way too much work to be a campground host for free and especially when the job is often 7 days a week.
We've thought about doing hosting and I have to agree with you. I doubt Rocky has any say in the terms of employment
LOL.....Perhaps they should pay 6 figures with healthcare and 8 weeks Vacation?
You are correct though, Rocky never had any say in the important stuff, that was Bullwinkles job. - agesilausExplorer III
