What we found: Mammoth Cave explicitly includes campground hosting and visitor information-desk service in its official volunteer programme. Long-term placements may offer living-in-park arrangements, but the general page does not guarantee a site or list a universal weekly commitment. Treat this as a recurring federal hosting programme and use the park's volunteer route for the next dated listing. A separate 2026 summer advertisement surfaced in secondary coverage, but its May–August term has ended and is not represented here as an open vacancy.
Staffing evidence: Standing programme or repeated hiring at this place. Checked October 9, 2026.
