A campground is additionally available for those who want to camp and even provides space for larger RVs. It is important to note that passes will be required for park entry. The trails are numbered and marked for difficulty as well as type of vehicle. Evans Creek offers plenty of challenge and lots of beautiful scenery, with viewpoints of Mount Rainier that are hard to beat. Due to the fact that the trails in Evans Creek are tight and twisty we would not recommend it for large rigs. Conditions at Evans Creek can vary widely with the weather and season. In winter the park can be closed due to snow and even into late June or early July the upper trails can still be impassible if snowfall was heavy enough.
