Rusk County manages this forested campground beside Perch Lake, operating from May through December with both tent and RV sites. Electric and water hookups accommodate RVs, while amenities include drinking water, restrooms, and picnic tables. Sites are well-spaced and treed according to camper reports, providing privacy in the wooded setting.
Cell service reaches the campground, and pets are welcome throughout the property. Campers can make reservations or arrive without advance booking. Audie Lake County Park sits just west for those wanting additional lakeside options in the same forest system.
