Pima County Conservation Lands and Resources

Gilbert Ray Campground 2026–2027 hosts · Tucson Mountain Park, west of Tucson

Campground host · Visitor assistance · Campground cleaning

Rechecked Oct 10, 2026: Both the program page ('We are recruiting now!') and the 2026-2027 application document were read.

The county is recruiting hosts for its October 27, 2026–April 13, 2027 season, with applications accepted until positions fill. Hosts support an online reservation operation; the current webpage says cash handling and first-come registration are no longer required. The agreement provides ten host sites in total, which is not a count of remaining vacancies. Scheduled service is assessed per site, allowing occupants to share it. Both the current page and agreement specify the same workload; older indexed advertisements with different hours should not be reused. AZ03 AZ04

• Pay: Volunteer; rent and listed utilities waived.
• Housing or RV: Own RV; water and 20/30/50-amp electricity. No sewer hookups; county can provide portable dump tanks.
• Hours and duties: Approximately 16 primary hours per site weekly, plus secondary after-hours inquiries and limited evening availability.
• Season or dates: October 27, 2026–April 13, 2027; applications until filled.
• Who can apply: Comfort with online reservations/county devices and assigned cleaning duties; separate applications if both occupants volunteer.
• How to apply: Email application from the county document; subject: 26-27 Camp Host position. https://www.pima.gov/asset/b046cdec-dd0c-4a58-bbd6-f994c7d3b943
• Still to confirm: Confirm a remaining placement and the precise evening roster and sewage-disposal procedure.

2027 campground maintenance team · Williams, northern Arizona

Campground maintenance · Groundskeeping · Propane service · Guest assistance

Rechecked Oct 19, 2026: Rechecked from Bob's computer; taking applications.

The employer’s 2027 advertisement was posted September 8, 2026 and expires December 31, 2026. This is full-time seasonal maintenance with landscaping, preparing sites, basic repairs and guest interaction; equipment and propane tasks are limited to trained, authorized workers. Partner jobs are possible. The RV arrangement is conditional on a signed seasonal agreement and is not free: rent is charged, with a partial refund after successful completion. The body’s flexible seasonal wording is clearer than its compressed date field, so applicants should secure exact dates in writing. AZ20

• Pay: Starting $16.50–17.50/hour, depending on experience and commitment; wage review not guaranteed.
• Housing or RV: Own RV required. If offered in signed agreement: $200/month site rent including utilities, with 50% of rent returned after successful completion. Laundry included.

Mohave County Public Works

Davis Camp paid custodian and separate front desk volunteer · Bullhead City / Colorado River

Custodian · Grounds maintenance · Front desk volunteer

Reported in the research on Oct 9, 2026. Confirm with the employer before you apply.

Davis Camp supplies two distinct recruitment paths. The paid full-time custodian posting opened October 1 and closes November 1, 2026; duties include buildings, restrooms, grounds, securing facilities and event setup. Separately, the county has a continuously recruited unpaid front desk assignment posted July 31, 2026, involving visitors, records and office support. Neither checked role promises a resident RV site. Keep their pay and hours separate when creating advertisements; a county park having visitor camping does not make every employee a work camper. AZ05 AZ06

• Pay: Custodian: $15.45–18.45/hour. Front desk volunteer: $0.
• Housing or RV: No employee or volunteer accommodation promised in either posting.
• Hours and duties: Custodian: full-time regular employment. Front desk volunteer: up to 24 hours/week.
• Season or dates: Custodian closes November 1, 2026, 5 p.m. Arizona time. Volunteer recruitment continuous.
• Who can apply: Custodian: high school/GED and one year custodial experience or equivalent, screening. Volunteer: valid Arizona driver license and acceptable driving record.
• How to apply: Paid: https://www.governmentjobs.com/jobs/5501686-0/custodian-davis-camp ; volunteer: https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/mohavecountyaz/jobs/newprint/5321830
• Still to confirm: Determine whether any separate resident-host agreement is available; do not attach one to these roles without confirmation.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Southwest Arizona Refuge Complex visitor-center volunteer · Yuma; visitor information for Cibola, Imperial and Kofa refuges

Visitor center host · Refuge information · Public contact

Reported in the research on Oct 9, 2026. Confirm with the employer before you apply.

The refuge complex advertises a Yuma visitor-center assignment for October 1, 2026–March 31, 2027, with recruitment ending October 30, 2026. It seeks one volunteer team, preferably a couple but without excluding individuals, for public information and visitor assistance. Critically, the current posting says lodging is not available. This role must not inherit an RV benefit from older Imperial Refuge resident advertisements or from another complex facility. A remaining opening and an adjusted start date should be checked, since the advertised service period has already begun. AZ16

• Pay: Unpaid volunteer.
• Housing or RV: Lodging explicitly unavailable for this assignment; no employee RV site offered.
• Hours and duties: 24–30 hours per person per week; shorter/longer terms may be negotiable.
• Season or dates: Service October 1, 2026–March 31, 2027; recruitment September 28–October 30, 2026.
• Who can apply: Three references, including two professional; identify both people if applying as a couple.
• How to apply: https://www.fws.gov/volunteer-opportunity/southwest-arizona-national-wildlife-refuge-complex-volunteer-2026 — Apply Now or listed coordinator.
• Still to confirm: Confirm the team is still needed and an acceptable late start; obtain independent lodging arrangements.

Maricopa County Parks and Recreation

Resident park hosts and community volunteers · Phoenix metropolitan region; Estrella, Lake Pleasant area, Hassayampa, San Tan, Usery and White Tank

Resident park host · Visitor center support · Preserve assistance · Grounds support

Maricopa distinguishes community volunteers living locally from hosts who bring an RV and reside in a county park. Its undated opening list spans conventional regional parks, the Desert Outdoor Center and Hassayampa River Preserve, making this a day-use and education lead as well as camping. Individual applications are required even for couples. Host selection includes screening and training, with a substantial seasonal commitment. Because the fall/winter list has no year, request a remaining placement before advertising any park as available. AZ02

• Pay: Volunteer; no wages stated.
• Housing or RV: Own RV; site with water, sewer and electricity provided. Laundry available at most parks.
• Hours and duties: Single host: at least 30 hours/week. Couple: at least 40 hours/week combined. Minimum five-month commitment.
• Season or dates: Standing fall/winter, summer/off-season and year-round routes; specific openings undated.
• Who can apply: Criminal/driving checks and training; no children under 16 living with host participants.
• How to apply: https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/get-involved/park-host-positions/ — application and coordinator.
• Still to confirm: Confirm one named park, season and whether all utility and laundry provisions apply to its assigned host site.

Grand Canyon Conservancy

Seasonal Visitor Experience Specialists · Grand Canyon South Rim and East Entrance stores

Visitor experience · Retail sales · Membership recruitment

The park’s nonprofit partner recruits seasonal retail staff who own self-contained RVs. Work involves visitor assistance, sales, memberships, stocking and keeping stores presentable. This is a strong resident-employment channel outside campground operations, with a published employee RV arrangement and separate summer and winter seasons. The seasonal page is undated and the careers portal is ongoing; no individual requisition or remaining space was verified. Applicants should use the nonprofit’s own hiring route and request a store assignment, wage and dates, rather than applying to the National Park Service for this job. AZ07 AZ08

• Housing or RV: Self-contained RV with bathroom/shower required. Site $50/month with water, sewer and trash; employee pays electricity and propane. Winter-capable RV advisable for winter term.
• Season or dates: Standing summer and winter recruitment; individual start/end dates not stated.
• How to apply: https://www.grandcanyon.org/about/jobs/seasonal and linked application portal at https://www.grandcanyon.org/about/jobs
• Still to confirm: Obtain an active Visitor Experience Specialist requisition and written wage, weekly hours, store location and employee-site availability.

Recreation Resource Management of America

Forest campground hosts and Show Low Lake · Big Lake / Apache-Sitgreaves, Kaibab and Show Low

Campground host · Fee collection · Cleaning · Basic maintenance

RRMofA’s employment page names Arizona operations and accepts host applications. Its 2026 Arizona row says most positions are filled and invites applications for openings that arise. The work includes greeting campers, fees, cleaning, minor maintenance and revenue reports. This is an actual concession-employer route for forest campgrounds, but no remaining site-level vacancy was established. Keep RRMofA’s employer identity separate from Vista Recreation and from the Forest Service landowner. The next advertisement should specify the operator, campground, term and compensation rather than simply naming a national forest. AZ19

• Season or dates: 2026 overview; most hosts work May–October; remaining openings and 2027 intake not confirmed.
• How to apply: https://www.rrmofa.com/Employment.php — application and employer contact.
• Still to confirm: Ask for the next-season Arizona vacancy list and site-by-site wage and RV-site agreement.

Meteor Crater Enterprises

Meteor Crater RV park liaison and attraction staff · Winslow / Interstate 40, northern Arizona

RV park liaison · Reservations · Store sales · Grounds maintenance · Tour and ride staff

Meteor Crater links a direct RV Park Liaison application and describes reservations, store transactions, guest service, grounds and other daily operations. Its careers list also includes tour guide, admissions and Collision ride roles, creating an attraction-and-campground employer channel. The forms are undated and contain no wage or resident-site offer, so they should be treated as standing recruitment. A visitor RV park beside an attraction does not establish housing for its employees. Confirm whether the current Paylocity system or the older direct form is the preferred application route. AZ21 AZ22

• Season or dates: Season not specified
• How to apply: https://meteorcrater.com/careers/ — current recruiting link; RV liaison detail at https://meteorcrater.com/job/rv-park-liaison/
• Still to confirm: Obtain the active RV liaison requisition, wage, weekly hours and whether any employee site is available.

Grand Canyon RV Glamping

Night front office at private glamping/RV resort · Williams

Front office · Reservations · Evening guest assistance

The employer’s current careers body describes evening and night front-office service at its Williams property and labels the arrangement a 1099 contract. Published tasks include arrivals, reservations, payments, guest enquiries and coordinating ready units. The housekeeper heading repeats the front-office text, so it is not treated as evidence of an additional distinct housekeeping vacancy. Although the page title uses Grand Canyon language, the stated workplace is Williams. The contractor classification is reported as the employer’s description; applicants should obtain the contract and costs rather than assume a standard employee benefits package. AZ24

• Pay: Published $17/hour; employer labels role 1099 contractor.
• Housing or RV: No worker lodging or RV-site arrangement stated.
• Hours and duties: Evening/night shifts; weekends and peak-season holidays required; weekly hours not stated.
• Season or dates: Season not specified
• Who can apply: Reliable transport and reservation/computer skills; hospitality and RV experience preferred.
• How to apply: https://grandcanyonrvglamping.com/careers/ — resume to the listed recruitment address.
• Still to confirm: Confirm the actual role title and written contract, payment terms and any site charge; resolve duplicated webpage description.

Arizona State Parks and Trails

State park resident camp hosts and day volunteers · Statewide

Campground host · Visitor information · Park support

The agency maintains a dedicated volunteer route encompassing live-on-site campground hosting and other park support. Official indexed descriptions identify host duties such as welcoming campers and answering questions. Direct pages were blocked during this research, so this is a qualified statewide program contact, not a list of confirmed openings. Applicants should request the current park-by-park placement list and written agreement. The state program must be kept separate from county hosts and private concession employees. No statewide hours, utility package or accommodation eligibility has been inferred from another jurisdiction. AZ01

• Season or dates: Season not specified
• How to apply: https://azstateparks.com/volunteer — use the state volunteer coordinator to obtain current assignments.
• Still to confirm: Obtain the current park assignment list, minimum service commitment and exact RV-site terms from the coordinator; indexed contact needs confirmation.

American Museum of Natural History

Southwestern Research Station personal-interest volunteers · Portal / Chiricahua Mountains, Cochise County

Residential facility volunteer · Kitchen support · Housekeeping · Grounds maintenance

The museum’s field station offers a personal-interest volunteer route that is distinct from student research internships. Volunteers help run the station through kitchen, housekeeping, grounds and maintenance tasks while living in shared accommodation. This makes a scientific research facility a credible alternative to campground hosting. Applications are accepted throughout the year, but service seasons and accommodation availability constrain placement. The published programme supports a six-to-eight-week stay with a specified weekly commitment. Do not describe it as a paid research position or assume that a camper parking space is supplied. AZ09 AZ10

• Pay: No wage; meals and listed residential facilities provided.
• Housing or RV: Shared dormitory, meals, laundry and internet included; employee RV arrangement not stated.
• Hours and duties: 24 hours/week for six to eight weeks.
• Season or dates: Personal-interest volunteers normally March 1–June 30 and September 1–October 31; July/August only if space permits. Applications year-round.
• How to apply: https://www.amnh.org/research/southwestern-research-station/interns-volunteers — personal-interest application.
• Still to confirm: Confirm the desired season, dormitory availability and assignment; confirm indexed application contact before sending materials.

The Nature Conservancy

Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve RV site hosts · Patagonia, Santa Cruz County

Resident preserve host · Visitor center assistance · Fee collection · Garden maintenance

The Nature Conservancy explicitly invites RV campers to serve as site hosts at Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve. Duties include opening and closing the preserve, visitor-center work, collecting fees and maintaining gardens. The page identifies two RV pads, but does not say both are vacant or specify hookups, charges or required hours. Its separate Ramsey Canyon visitor and bookstore roles and Hart Prairie projects show a wider conservation network; those are not evidence of additional residential placements. Use the preserve-specific contact to qualify an actual term and RV agreement. AZ11

• Housing or RV: On-site RV pads for hosts; utility configuration, site charges and remaining availability not stated.
• Season or dates: Season not specified
• How to apply: https://www.nature.org/en-us/about-us/where-we-work/united-states/arizona/volunteer-arizona/ — Patagonia-Sonoita Creek site-host section.
• Still to confirm: Request the preserve’s current RV host agreement with utility details, minimum stay and hours per person.

Boyce Thompson Arboretum

Resident RV host volunteers; visitor and education support · Superior, Pinal County

Resident host volunteer · Visitor center assistance · Education support · Event volunteer

The arboretum’s FY25 handbook confirms a resident host programme: volunteers live on-site in their RVs for a defined term and work with visitor services or education under a host agreement. September–May is the published recruitment/seasonal window, but a new 2026–27 vacancy was not confirmed. The current support page supplies an application; its opportunity directory required JavaScript. The same handbook describes local greeters, map-station and event volunteers, which should be labeled separately from resident hosts. Published staffing contacts make this a particularly useful botanical-garden lead. AZ12 AZ13 AZ14

• Housing or RV: Own RV on-site under host agreement; current rent, hookups and rig limits not verified.
• Hours and duties: Host schedule set by department/individual agreement; handbook calls host service full-time without a weekly number.
• Season or dates: FY25 handbook describes September–May host recruitment; next season’s vacancies unverified.
• Who can apply: Orientation and applicable screening. Handbook says volunteers pay for initial background check/fingerprint card if applicable; confirm current policy.
• How to apply: https://btarboretum.org/support/ — Volunteer application; ask specifically for the resident host agreement.
• Still to confirm: Confirm the current coordinator, resident openings and updated agreement; do not reuse third-party RV benefits without confirmation.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge residential volunteers · Altar Valley / Sasabe region

Visitor center volunteer · Resident facility volunteer · Trail and campsite maintenance · Interpretation

Buenos Aires Refuge explicitly supports extended-stay residential volunteers. Tasks include visitor-center greeting, walks and presentations, trails and campsites, repairs, litter and fences; biological and office projects may also be available. The refuge says late spring and fall needs can be stronger while winter places fill quickly. Its general page provides accommodation support but no individual vacancy dates, so this is an established programme rather than proof of an immediately available winter site. Local volunteers can contribute shorter periods without joining the residential arrangement. AZ15

• Pay: Volunteer; listed residential support, no wage stated.
• Housing or RV: RV hookups, propane and laundry access; government vehicle for work duties. Specific site utilities not itemized.
• Season or dates: Season not specified
• How to apply: https://www.fws.gov/refuge/buenos-aires/get-involved — refuge enquiry or linked Volunteer.gov application.
• Still to confirm: Confirm a resident term, weekly hours and exact hookup configuration before planning a move.

Bureau of Land Management

Yuma maintenance coordinator and Phoenix shooting-sports volunteer channels · Lower Colorado River / Yuma and Phoenix District

Maintenance coordinator · Volunteer range safety officer

BLM’s own roster identifies a Yuma Field Office maintenance coordinator and a Phoenix District shooting-sports safety volunteer, extending the search beyond campsite reception. The Yuma record linked to Volunteer.gov, but that detailed page returned a CSS error. This proves an agency recruitment channel, not the remaining vacancy, expected hours, resident site or qualifications. Range safety work also has a distinct skill and responsibility profile; it should not be marketed as ordinary campground hosting. Request each actual assignment description directly before creating a job listing. AZ17 AZ18

• Season or dates: Season not specified
• How to apply: https://www.blm.gov/get-involved/volunteers/volunteer-opportunities/positions — select Arizona and the named role; contact the responsible field office if the detailed record fails.
• Still to confirm: Obtain the Yuma coordinator agreement and determine whether it is resident, its service dates and any required maintenance skills.

Delaware North

Grand Canyon retail/lodging and Squire Resort · Grand Canyon South Rim / Tusayan

Visitor services · Retail · Housekeeping · Facilities maintenance

Delaware North’s location page identifies its in-park retail and Yavapai Lodge operations and the separate Squire Resort in Tusayan. It publishes employee housing arrangements for these locations, making it relevant to workers who do not bring an RV. The dynamic job section showed zero results during retrieval, so this dossier does not claim a specific opening. Use the location-filtered employer portal to obtain an actual requisition. Housing costs and eligibility vary between in-park and Tusayan assignments and must remain attached to the correct workplace. AZ23

• Housing or RV: In-park shared housing $50–75/week with listed utilities; age 18+, no pets. Squire housing starts $56/week, first come first served. Confirm availability and current deductions.
• Season or dates: Season not specified
• How to apply: https://careers.delawarenorth.com/grand-canyon/ — select Inside Grand Canyon or Squire Resort and search jobs.
• Still to confirm: Verify a current housekeeping, retail or facilities job and secure the applicable housing offer before counting a resident placement.

Grand Canyon Resort Corporation

Grand Canyon West / Hualapai tourism facilities · Hualapai lands / Grand Canyon West and Peach Springs

Guest services · Concierge · Lodging support · Attraction operations · Maintenance

The tribal tourism operator has a dedicated employer portal, and official indexed role descriptions include concierge and facility positions serving Grand Canyon West, Hualapai Ranch, Skywalk, river running and the lodge. The current attraction website confirms the range of visitor facilities. Direct ATS records returned access errors, so no specific opening, wage or housing has been verified. This is a useful tribal employer lead with broader recreation duties; Hualapai visitor cabins and RV camping must not be recast as employee accommodation. Apply through the corporation, not through an unrelated Grand Canyon concession company. AZ25 AZ26 AZ27

• Season or dates: Season not specified
• How to apply: https://grand-canyon-resort-corp.careerplug.com/ — official GCRC recruitment portal.
• Still to confirm: Read an active visitor-service or maintenance requisition and confirm any tribal preference, accommodation and transportation requirements.

Xanterra Travel Collection

Grand Canyon National Park Lodges · Grand Canyon South Rim

Lodging services · Visitor services · Facilities support

NPS identifies Grand Canyon National Park Lodges as a concession employer separate from federal employment, and Xanterra maintains a location-specific recruitment portal. Direct employer pages returned 403 responses, preventing verification of a current requisition and its terms. This record therefore supplies a verified employer route without importing wages or housing costs from third-party summaries or other Xanterra parks. Obtain the individual South Rim offer before advertising a resident placement. AZ28 AZ29

• Season or dates: Season not specified
• How to apply: https://www.xanterrajobs.com/grand-canyon-careers-explore/jobs — Grand Canyon National Park Lodges jobs.

Paul Revere Transportation

Grand Canyon shuttle operators and fueler/cleaners · Grand Canyon South Rim

Shuttle operator · Bus fueler/cleaner

NPS’s February 2025 employment overview identifies Paul Revere as the South Rim shuttle employer and links driver and fueler/cleaner applications. The employer’s linked application remains readable, supporting an alternative recreation-service route for RV workers. NPS states that an RV is required and the site is charged at cost plus utilities, rather than supplied free. Because those terms come from an older park overview and the application publishes no compensation, verify the current contract and operator before offering a specific job. Driver endorsements should not automatically be applied to the separate cleaning role. AZ29 AZ30

• Housing or RV: NPS 2025 overview: own RV required; site at cost plus utilities; no conventional housing. Current charges need reconfirmation.
• Season or dates: Season not specified
• Who can apply: NPS driver description: 18+ and CDL with passenger/brake endorsements. Verify fueler/cleaner requirements separately.
• How to apply: NPS links employer application at https://paulreverebuses.com/jobs/fueler-cleaner/?location=Grand+Canyon,+Arizona ; use employer Jobs for bus operator.
• Still to confirm: Confirm continued South Rim staffing, employee-site cost, season and whether fueler/cleaner work requires a CDL.
