Welcome to the Klamath National Forest!
 The Klamath National Forest encompasses nearly 1.7 million acres of land straddling the California and Oregon border. The Forest is divided into two sections separated by the Shasta Valley and the Interstate Highway 5 corridor. In the mountains to the west, the terrain is steep and rugged while the east side has the relatively gentler, rolling terrain of volcanic origin. With elevations ranging from 450 to 8,900 feet above sea level, the Forest is one of America’s most biologically diverse regions, situated in a transitional region between the hotter and drier areas of the south and the colder and wetter locale of the north.

The Klamath National Forest is Looking to Staff Three Volunteer Campground Hosts this Summer
Volunteer national forest campground host opportunities have been identified on the Salmon/Scott River and Happy Camp/Oak Knoll Ranger Districts this summer. The duties of a campground host include talking to visitors about local points of interest, informing visitors of regulations, gathering visitor use information, and performing light maintenance and cleanup around the campground. A campsite with hookups will be provided for the volunteer.
Volunteer campground hosts are an important part of the Klamath National Forest’s recreation program. Campground hosts are often the first contact for forest visitors. We are looking for hosts who have strong communication skills and are customer service oriented. Three campground host positions are available, from May 25-until October 15. Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled.
