Hosts with the mosts

Tho seemingly somewhat premature, we are making plans for the rest of the year. We stayed in several state parks in Oregon and heard praise of that system from the campground hosts therein. So we hope to serve as Hosts in a coastal OR state park in October, as a first run on this new way of RV life.

Reading the Escapees forums about volunteering, you can find a lot of fulltimers who go from park to park throughout the year. Not just state parks actually, but federal parks and forests, Bureau of Land Management and National Wildlife Reserves, lighthouse societies, Nature Conservancy land, and much more.

In exchange for light duty work, you usually get a free RV spot with utilities and a chance to live in these beautiful areas much longer than a camper could. A wonderful opportunity to offer service in such settings. We plan to try it.

Look for us this Fall. You’ll know us by our little brown vests and funny hats, holding sticks with nails on the end, spearing candy wrappers and the odd $5 bill. Like juvenile delinquents in community service.
