This area experiences continental climate patterns with hot summers reaching 85°F and winters plunging below 0°F.

What to do
Hiking trails near campgrounds: The trail system at Zurich Park leads to a scenic pond over the nearby hills. "A nice hike up over the hill to a nice pond," confirms camper Lisa M., who discovered this hidden feature during her stay.
Explore small towns: Many luxury camping visitors use these locations as bases to explore the authentic small towns along Highway 2. "Great part of the country with lots to do," notes Bjorn S. about the Evergreen Campground location and surrounding communities.
Family playgrounds: Playgrounds provide entertainment for children at several glamping sites. As JPMC A. mentions about Zurich Park, "Oh, and a nice playground for the kids!" This feature makes Zurich Park particularly suitable for family glamping trips.
What campers like
Mature shade trees: The established cottonwood trees at Zurich Park create natural cooling during summer glamping stays. "Beautiful park with mature Cottonwood trees," reports Always C., highlighting one of the most appreciated natural features.
Affordable electric hookups: Budget-conscious glampers appreciate the reasonable electric hookup fees. "It's free to camp if you don't have electric and $30 for electric," notes Lisa M. about the current pricing structure at Zurich Park.
Privacy landscaping: Border vegetation creates separation between glamping sites and surrounding areas. According to Bjorn S., Evergreen Campground has "trees and bushes all around the border, giving it a cozy, private feel" despite the relatively close spacing of sites.
What you should know
Site spacing considerations: Glamping sites at some locations may place you close to neighboring campers. Jessica B. warns that at Evergreen Campground, there are "Very, very close together. Walk out camper door into next sites plug ins and sewer hose. Very limited space between campers."
Water quality variations: The local water may have a distinct mineral taste. "When I talked to an employee about the water tasting bad (I believe it was something like sulfur), she explained it was natural and not unhealthy," shares Bjorn S. about Evergreen Campground's water supply.
Cell service limitations: Digital connectivity may be restricted in certain areas. Always C. notes that at Zurich Park there's "No Verizon service, no OTA TV as the park is surrounded by hills," which can impact those needing to stay connected.
Tips for camping with families
Playground amenities: The play equipment at Zurich Park receives consistent praise from family glampers. "The playground looked amazing," notes Lisa M., making this location particularly suitable for family-oriented glamping trips.
Activity options: Outdoor recreation facilities supplement the natural surroundings. Always C. mentions "Horseshoe pits, vaulted toilets, 6 30 amp spots, water available" among the park's amenities that enhance the family camping experience.
Quiet environment: The peaceful setting allows families to enjoy quality time without urban distractions. JPMC A. appreciated finding "plenty of space available even during this busy time," making it easier for families to spread out during peak season.
Tips from RVers
Ground conditions: Some sites may have unstable soil that affects stabilization equipment. Melody C. experienced challenges: "Our fifth wheel jacks (regardless of having blocks and Snap Pads) sunk about 8 inches into the dirt, and we couldn't get anything level."
Dump station locations: Plan ahead for waste disposal as onsite facilities may be limited. Always C. advises RVers that there's a "Dump site in Chinook 9 miles west between 2 gas stations" when staying at Zurich Park.
Site reservation practices: While officially first-come-first-served at some parks, unofficial reservation systems may be in place. Melody C. discovered that at Zurich Park, other guests claimed they "reserved 8 of the spots with hookups," despite the official policy.
