Campground hosting at Big Bend NP

[davidmurphy02]

Big Bend National Park just posted a listing for a campground host position in the Chisos Basin campground. This is the premier spot in Big Bend, a primitive campground but the host site has full hookups. Volunteering as a campground host in a national park is not only a lot of fun, but offers a rare opportunity to have full hookups and stay for an extended period in a remote area. We spent several summers hosting at Glacier NP, and another forum member has hosted at Big Bend. If you're interested, check it out - these openings are rare and don't come up often.

We were walking thru that campground back in Feb. and the hosts were in a big class A r/v. Don't know how they got it into that spot!

This is starting in Aug .of this year? Guess Big Bend is opening back up then.

It does help to be an experienced mountain driver. Plus the rangers will give you considerable assistance - as in escorts and/or blocking oncoming traffic. With our E'21 it was a breeze.
