What Guests Are Saying

Evergreen Campground is a well-maintained and clean site with spacious and private tent plots, making it a great choice for camping. The bathrooms are exceptionally clean, and the nearby Weiser River trail offers excellent hiking opportunities. While it’s located close to the highway, creating some road noise, many guests found the environment calm and enjoyable, especially at night.

Evergreen is a lovely little campground. It is quite noisy during the day with road noise, but much quieter at night. I had no trouble sleeping. Each camp site is surprisingly private. The campground conveniently adjoins the Weiser River trail with miles and miles of good, easy hiking. Although I never saw the campground hosts in the three days I was there, the pit toilets and camp sites were immaculate.

Wonderful camp ground in the Gem state. Recommend hiking the Weiser river trail. Lots of shade in spot 12.

Love this little spot, this is the second time we’ve stayed here, small but love that because it’s always been quiet!! Don’t even see the other campers!

When we arrived on 8/12 at 5 pm, our reserved site at #10 was occupied by other campers who refused to leave stating they were there first. The camp host was not there all night, and there was no cell service to call the sheriff. We stayed at another reserved site which was unoccupied and hoped that the people holding the reservation did not show, in which case we would have moved. Bad deal.

Love the area and campsite, bathrooms are insanely clean for it being a campsite restroom which my wife and kids liked a lot! Plots were the perfect size and very spacious.

We had a tent site facing the highway. No shade for our tent and road noise pretty much non stop. The camp host was great. The bathrooms sparkled. We just should have been more careful on choosing our site.

We got lucky with the site we picked for our 26 ft trailer. Space #9 was secluded and yet spacious. It had a great table and fireplace. The cons were in the description it said there was drinking water on site. It was literally a drinking fountain, plus a ground level spicket for a dog which made it impossible to fill our trailer. Had to go to a New Meadows gas station to use their water and then drive back. So if show up expecting to fill your camper with water, you'll be disappointed. Also, there are trails nearby, including a former train route that used to haul lumber I believe. There are abandoned train trestle on this route, but we never reached them. As nice as the camp host was, there was no trail maps to be had. So go, but be prepared for those challenges.
