Summary:
Description: The Bureau of Land Management is looking for a campground host for its Zapata Falls Campground. The 25-site campground is BLM's newest in Colorado, opening in June 2011.
Campground hosts are on-site ambassadors for the BLM, welcoming visitors, answering their questions about Zapata Falls and the surrounding area as well as acquainting them with campground amenities and rules. BLM supplies weekly bathroom cleaning and trash removal. Hosts are responsible for day-to-day campground duties, including: ensuring campground rules are followed; conducting visitor monitoring; and doing basic campground maintenance such as checking the bathrooms, picking up trash, removing ash from fire pits and doing minor repairs.
In exchange for these services, the host will receive fee-free camping in a beautiful corner of the San Luis Valley. The BLM will also provide limited compensation for generator fuel, propane and septic tank dumping fees. Groceries and other supplies are not provided. Shopping can be found 30 miles away in Alamosa. The water system for the host's campsite will not be completed this season. The BLM will work with the host to ensure a supply of drinking water. *End date is flexible.
If you are interested in helping out this summer, please contact Rob Santoro at (719) 852-6267 or email rsantoro@fs.fed.us.
