Volunteer Campground Host
Parks and Wildlife, Northern TerritoryVolunteer Campground Hosts are often the first point of contact for visitors to parks and reserves. They support Rangers in the management of campgrounds during the visitor season by:
- Welcoming visitors
- Providing general information about the area
- Assisting with the maintenance of amenities, including cleaning
- Being a key point of contact for visitors
- Reporting any issues through to Park Rangers as required
Campground Hosts are largely self-sufficient with their own accommodation such as a caravan or camper-trailer. Host sites vary across the NT, but most have an exclusive camping area, picnic shelter and firepit. Host placements are for a minimum of three weeks but can be negotiated depending on availability. Online training and an onsite orientation are provided.
Campground Hosts will receive a free camping pass to parks and reserves managed by the NT Government (some exclusions apply).
Once approved, volunteers are required to have a National Police Check and valid First Aid Certificate. This can be completed after being accepted as a Campground Host and the cost will be reimbursed at the completion of the placement. Volunteers are also required to provide proof of their COVID-19 vaccination status.
