Perch Point Wild Camping Area

This is a dispersed camping area on the Potholes reservoir, and is not the Potholes State Park. But this is state property and a Discover Pass is required to stay here ($10/day or $30/year). Rangers did come by and check our pass and look at our license plate. 

You’re allowed to stay here 10 days. No campfires at this time. There’s also no water and no trash service here, please help keep the area clean and take your trash with you! There are a few pit toilets along the road.

 Not much to do here, it’s a nice place to come to take a break and do nothing for a few days. We watched a sea plane practice takeoff and landing in the reservoir, that was fun. Lots of people come here to fish and it gets busy on weekends (but quiet during the week). Flies and bees were annoying, but manageable. Same with the wind, not too bad. Good cell reception for Verizon and ATT. 

Biggest highlight for us is that this is the first and only place we got to see the northern lights!
