Supplemental Information

As a campground host, you will be fulfilling a job of public trust on County property and providing services to visitors of all ages, including children and senior citizens, who can be quite vulnerable. As a result, your offer to be a Volunteer Host Camper will be contingent on completing a background and DMV check. After your offer, you will receive an email describing the process and helping you to get started. Your volunteer position offer cannot proceed without completing this check, and your offer may be rescinded in certain circumstances, e.g., having a clean DMV record, being a registered sex offender or having arrests/convictions for any type of violent crime.
