Recreation

The Weiser River flows between the campground and the highway, offering excellent rainbow trout fishing, and an occassional crawdad.

The Weiser River Trail is popular for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, and can be accessed within the site.

Facilities

The campground offers several single and double-family sites, most of which are accessible. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. The road system throughout the campground is gravel, but parking spurs are paved.

Natural Features

Evergeen lives up to its name, as it's settled in a scenic, lush Douglas fir and spruce forest at an approximate elevation of 4,000 feet. Although right off the highway, the large trees and dense bushed provide seclusion and privacy. The Weiser River flows between the campsites and the highway.
