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, opened in June 2011.
Campground hosts are on-site ambassadors for the BLM, welcoming visitors, answering 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; as well as some basic campground maintenance such as checking the bathrooms, picking up trash, removing ash from fire pits.
In exchange for these services, the host will receive fee-free camping in a beautiful corner of the San Luis Valley. A new water system has been installed in the camp host site but electric and septic hook-ups are not provided. The BLM will provide reimbursement for generator fuel, propane and septic tank dumping fees (Blue Boy Tank available). Groceries and other supplies are not provided. Shopping can be found 30 miles away in Alamosa. *End date is flexible.
If you are interested in helping out this summer, please contact Sean Noonan at Sean_Noonan@BLM.gov or Clayton Davey at CDavey@BLM.gov
