About
State Park
There is a lightly developed camping area at Evergreen Pond, along Scoville Road. Picnic tables and fire rings are provided, but no water or facilities. This is a carry in-carry out facility. In addition, at-large primitive camping is allowed. Campsites must be at least 150 feet away from the nearest road, trail, or body of water. Camping for more than three nights or in groups of ten or more requires a permit from a Forest Ranger.

Features
Beautiful
Three simple campsites strewn in a circle around Evergreen Pond. The one closest to the road is very suitable for car camping, the other two you need to hike into but neither are very far. I recommend the farther site, it's the best spot. The pond is small, but quaint. We stayed one night right in the middle of summer on a weekend and only ran into 3 other people, none of whom stayed the night with us. Hiked for a few hours (unsuccessfully) attempting to locate Hovey Gully and saw no one. Really an amazing (free!) spot.
