A current notice names this place and says how to apply.
What we found: Back Bay’s dated 2027 Horn Point announcement is a strong day-use host example beyond campgrounds. The resident volunteer supports a kayak/canoe launch, two restrooms and nearby ponds through visitor contact, mowing, cleaning and occasional events. Recruitment runs through May 2, 2027 for an April–October service season. The pad provides electricity and nonpotable water; drinking/cooking water is supplied separately, and waste handling requires a portable system. The no-pet rule and distance-from-home requirement materially limit eligibility, so they must travel with any public listing.
