Georgia has several distinct hosting markets. State Parks and Historic Sites operates a central application system that explicitly includes campground, golf, historic-site and train assignments. The Wildlife Resources Division separately recruits at Charlie Elliott, while Jekyll Island Authority has its own resident-host program and local museum/sea-turtle volunteers. These routes have different fees, commitments and eligibility rules. [GA01–GA04]
What the labels mean
- Taking applications: we opened the employer's notice on the date shown and it was still taking applications.
- Intake announced: the employer says when the next season or hiring round starts.
- Future intake announced: The organization has announced a future season or hiring round.
- Accepts applications: A standing jobs page or recruiting route. No specific opening is confirmed.
- Volunteer program: An established volunteer program. Placements, dates and benefits are set assignment by assignment.
- Contact for jobs: A confirmed operator and contact route. No host opening or housing offer is confirmed.
- Past hiring only: An earlier or archived notice, kept so you know who hires and when. Not a current opening.
- Not yet confirmed: A possible lead that still needs checking before it can be called a host opportunity.
- Opening not reconfirmed: an opening was reported in the research, but we could not confirm it is still open.
- Paid, volunteer, work exchange, business contract and mixed describe the arrangement the source states. They are not a legal ruling on employment status. Free housing is shown only when the source says so for that role.

Georgia DNR — Wildlife Resources Division
Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center / Clybel campground · Mansfield
Campground host
The Wildlife Resources Division recruits a host couple or individual at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, a separate route from the State Parks host system. Hosts help monitor campground occupancy, assist arrivals and departures, and clean restrooms and vacated campsites. The center includes a wider outdoor education and recreation property, but the checked host description specifically concerns campground service. A named staff contact and explicit utility package make this a practical direct recruitment lead.
- Pay: Unpaid; host-site utilities supplied.
- Housing or RV: Host site with power, water, sewer and Wi-Fi.
- Hours and duties: 24 hours/week; ask how split between a couple.
- Season or dates: Season not specified
- How to apply: Contact Katie Blaylock through the official wildlife-center page.
- Still to confirm: Confirm the next available placement, duties and written terms with the program.

Columbia County Parks, Recreation and Events
Wildwood Park campground hosts · Columbia County / Clarks Hill Lake
Campground host
The county maintains an actual Wildwood Park campground-host application asking about availability, prior host experience, skills, vehicles and the proposed RV. It includes reference and background-check consent, rather than merely describing a campground for visitors. A particularly relevant limitation is that campsites do not have sewer hookups. The checked application does not publish cash compensation, a minimum weekly workload or the precise fee waiver, so those fields should remain unresolved until the county supplies its host agreement.
- Housing or RV: Applicant supplies RV details; application explicitly says sites lack sewer hookups.
- Season or dates: Season not specified
- Who can apply: Background/reference/driving checks; pets require rabies documentation.
- How to apply: https://www.columbiacountyga.gov/FormCenter/Parks-Recreation-and-Events-13/Wildwood-Park-Campground-Host-Applicatio-70

FIND Outdoors
Georgia national-forest/lake campgrounds and visitor attractions · Anna Ruby Falls, Brasstown Bald, Lake Rabun, Lake Winfield Scott, Morganton Point and Carters Lake facilities
Campground host · Visitor-center host · Ticket attendant · Retail staff · Shuttle driver
FIND Outdoors is a nonprofit recreation operator whose employment page names Georgia campgrounds and visitor attractions and distinguishes several staffing arrangements. Seasonal campground hosts commit at least three months and receive a full-hookup site; the page does not publish a uniform campground wage. Part-time visitor staff work hourly paid shifts, while a separate visitor-center host route exchanges service for a site. This is a strong operator-level lead spanning public recreation facilities and attraction services.
- Pay: Visitor staff: hourly wage, amount unspecified. Volunteer visitor hosts: site exchange. Confirm campground-host pay.
- Housing or RV: Full-hookup site for seasonal campground hosts; most sites offer Wi-Fi/laundry. Confirm facility.
- Hours and duties: Campground hosts: minimum 3 months. Part-time visitor staff: 10–20 hours/week.
- Season or dates: Season not specified
- How to apply: Apply via the job portal linked on the employment page; submit one application and email additional role/location preferences.

This nonprofit camp serving people with visual impairments recruits volunteers for counseling, activities, registration and logistics, along with appropriately qualified medical support. The camp publishes accommodation and meals during the session, creating a residential opportunity beyond conventional RV hosting. The roles involve direct camper care and activity support, so they should be presented in a youth/special-needs camp category with their own training and screening requirements.

The Fire Ant Café tasks expressly include simple food such as hotdogs and fries, as well as drinks.

The state runs a central host timeline and application system covering campgrounds and less obvious assignments at golf, historic and train facilities.

Jekyll Island Authority recruits resident campground hosts who clean grounds and bathhouses and assist park operations.
