McArthur Burney Falls Memorial State Park Camp Host
The 129-foot waterfall is the main attraction of the park. Each day 100 million gallons of water flow over the falls. Additional water comes from springs, joining to create a mist-filled basin. Black swifts nest in the cliff behind the falls, and rare nests of bald eagles can be seen along the shore line of Lake Britton. The park has six miles of hiking trails through evergreen forest. Lake Britton offers water sport activities.
Hosts are visible representatives in California State Parks' campgrounds and day-use areas. Hosts may perform a multitude of duties to help the park including:
- Assisting visitors;
- Collecting fees
- Performing light janitorial and maintenance duties;
- Conducting interpretive programs, and;
- Encouraging compliance with park rules and regulations (although hosts do not perform actual law enforcement duties).
Hosts temporarily reside in a campsite in a park unit and typically serve 20-30 hours per week. We provide electrical, water, and sewer hook ups. We require at least 3 months stay but prefer if you can stay the whole season. Our Camp hosts usually arrive in May and stay until the end of September.
The park does not have great cell service but free Wi-fi is available at the visitor center or you may be able to use Starlink or Satellite to have service at your site.
