Eel River Volunteer Program


Grizzly Creek Redwoods Camp Host

This quaint old growth redwood park is situated on the beautiful Van Duzen River on Highway 36, approximately 20 minutes from the town of Fortuna.  The host site has full hook-ups.  Hosts at Grizzly Creek will assist with campground operations, day-use, light maintenance when needed, and if desired, will help with interpretive programs as well.  The park consists of 28 campsites, a group camp, a day-use area, meandering trails through the redwoods, and of course, the old-fashioned visitor center.  If you're seeking your first host position, Grizzly is a great way to learn the ropes.  If you're a seasoned host, you'll love it even more! Please note: Grizzly Creek has limited cell phone but our visitor center is a wi-fi hotspot.

If you're interested in spending a couple months along the banks of the Van Duzen, surrounded by towering redwoods, please contact Ranger John Hardcastle at (707) 946-1813 or john.hardcastle@parks.ca.gov for more information.
