Volunteer Camp Hosts
Over the years, we have had many guests volunteer as Camp Hosts to make the Charlotte Plains experience even more enjoyable.
Our motto is “all work and no play, is forbidden.” We want you to feel satisfied in helping us, while at the same time, enjoying all that Charlotte Plains has to offer!
We are currently seeking Camp Hosts for 2025-2026. Ideally, we look for Camp Hosts for a minimum 3-4 weeks (but are flexible). To allow for an stress-free handover, we prefer Camp Hosts overlap by a few days to learn from those before them.
Key Duties Include:
Guest Interaction:
– Assist with check-in: greet guests and let them know where they can set up
– Explain any rules, give directions, and provide general information
– Promote onsite activities such as audio tours, and the sale of merchandise
Campground Maintenance:
– Ensure that grounds, baths, and facilities are neat and tidy
– Clean, hose, re-stock toilets and showers (daily)
– Water lawns (as required)
Campfire:
– Light the communal campfire (daily)
Other tasks may inevitably arise. However, overseeing the campground to ensure harmony, happiness, and enjoyability for all, is our main priority.

We provide Camp Hosts with a detailed manual and shirt to identify you as a Camp Host. During your volunteer period, you will be entitled to stay at the campsite and enjoy all relevant facilities free of charge. Our staff will offer continuous support throughout your stay.
Our Camp Hosts should be self-sufficient with their own caravan or camping equipment, and able to stay at the Bore Campsite (unpowered) – we can provide generator power if needed.

“Charlotte Plains had been on our list to visit as we travelled our lap. When they advertised for Camp Hosts we jumped at the opportunity. It’s a beautiful property rich in history. As hosts, we checked guests in, entertained guests with happy hour fire, and kept the amenities clean. Not a huge task at all. We met some lovely people and really enjoyed our time there.”
