What we found: Cumberland Gap’s volunteer page confirms on-site RV-pad opportunities for hosts at Wilderness Road Campground, subject to staffing needs and space. Other volunteer roles include visitor-center assistance, trail stewardship, living history and roving interpretation. The campground is on the Virginia side of this multistate park, despite the park’s Kentucky headquarters, and must not be confused with Virginia’s separate Wilderness Road State Park. The checked NPS page establishes the programme but does not certify a specific 2027 opening, weekly hours or utility package.
Staffing evidence: Standing programme or repeated hiring at this place. Checked October 9, 2026.
