Volunteer 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.
