COTTONWOOD, Idaho – The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Cottonwood Field Office is in search of a volunteer campground host for its popular Hammer Creek Campground and Recreation Site. Situated along the beautiful Lower Salmon River, Hammer Creek is located just 3 miles from Whitebird. The site is highly sought after for camping, day use activities and is also a popular put-in site for river activities.
Some of the amenities offered include 12 non-reservable fee campsites, a day use area for picnicking, two vault and two flush toilets, changing rooms, a boat ramp and an RV dump station. The BLM will provide a separate host campsite with full RV hookups for the campground host’s personal trailer or RV, as well as a small monthly stipend.
“Campground hosts not only greet visitors, provide information and assist with maintenance of recreation sites, they can also be the key individual helping to provide a quality recreation experience on public lands,” said Cottonwood Field Manager Richard White.
The volunteer host would begin May 10 and work until the end of November. Work weeks are Thursday through Monday, including holidays. For questions regarding the position, please contact Joe O’Neill, Outdoor Recreation Planner for the Cottonwood Field Office recreation staff, at 208-962-3683.
