Good for families

I have mixed feelings on Perception Park, camping as a couple. The surroundings were nice although my spot (6) was by the main road so there was some road noise throughout the day. The spots are closer than I prefer. There is a paved trail which was nice and was hoping to fish in the river but there's only a couple good spots to be in otherwise the river was a bit too narrow. Seemed to be a lot of families there so it was kind of loud all day. If you're looking for a peaceful and quiet stay I would suggest another campground. If you're looking for a place for the family to get just far away enough from town, then this might be a good place for you. Fyi no hookups and no cell service (at&t and sprint).

For having no amenities, it was $48.00

Clean, nice and pretty scenery. We pulled in here on 9/15/2020, just wanted to get off the road and took a chance. We were able to find a spot, and the host came over and told us it was $48.00. Sorta taken back since there is no electric, water or dump service here.

Learned a lesson.

Great Campground that is also a Day Use Area

A campground better suited for large gatherings rather than secluded getaways.  It also serves as a nice place to have a picnic for a day trip as they also have spots specifically for that.  Other than the day sites they also have 9 single sites, 6 double sites, 1 triple site, and 3 group sites.  There's more non standard sites than there are normal single sites which gives you an idea of how many people would be in the area if everything were booked up on a busy weekend or holiday.  As with the rest of the sites in the canyon there are picnic tables and fire rings as well as vault toilets and drinking water spread throughout the compound.  There is also a trail system to the south that leads to river access for tubing or fishing.

Cute, clean, and accessible!

We've been visiting Perception Park as a family for over 10 years! It's always our go to spot for a close weekend getaway. The campground has various sizes of spots, and is kept clean. On one visit, we had a rattlesnake camping out in the roots of a tree in our spot, and the camp hosts took care of it quickly and safely (no snakes harmed)! This campground is also next to the river, and has easy access to get into the river in multiple locations.
