About
Overview
Evergreen Campground is situated next to the Weiser River just off Highway 95 between the towns of Council and New Meadows, Idaho. Fishing and hiking are popular activities.
Once on-site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, and the Scan and Pay feature. If this option is available, you will need to first download the free Recreation.gov mobile app https://www.recreation.gov/mobile-app prior to your arrival as some remote areas have limited or no cellular service.
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.
