Get Involved: Sylvan Lake State Park

Sylvan Lake relies on volunteer hosts to help us provide quality customer service during the high use season, which runs Memorial Day Weekend through late September. The basic host responsibilities are to act as ambassadors to park visitors, providing information, sell firewood, campground maintenance including cleaning fire pits and sites, and serving at the Entrance Gate to sell passes and permits. In addition, you may be involved in any maintenance, environmental education or administrative projects that meet your skills, interests and needs of the park.

Amenities: In return for a minimum of 20 hours per person per week, Camp Hosts are provided a site in the campground. Amenities are limited since the park is off grid, but the site includes water and sewer hook-ups. Propane and a solar system are provided to meet basic needs.
