Established workplaceAccepts general applications
A standing programme or a past notice shows this place uses these workers. No current opening is confirmed.
What we found: Sugarloaf’s nonprofit operator publishes a detailed campground-host specification alongside many day-use roles. Hosts welcome visitors, handle registrations and sales, clean facilities and assist with glamping laundry. The operator page and State Parks directory give different hours and vehicle-length limits; the signed placement agreement should resolve those differences. This partner-operated state park is a distinct nonprofit recruitment relationship. Do not assume its host terms apply to Sonoma County Regional Parks or that every ecology-center volunteer receives a campsite.
Staffing evidence: Standing programme or repeated hiring at this place. Checked October 9, 2026.
