Overall a great experience. The restrooms became over powering but then again they are vaults so you’ll have that.

Great time and very peaceful. Would be nice if other campers knew not to run after wildlife and scare them like the moose who was there during our visit

This is one of the only campgrounds I truly like to pay for! We are usually an off grid kind of camping family! But we make it a must to camp at perception every year! They are always clean, next to the river and the camp hosts are always friendly and helpful.

Tubing was a blast. Campsite and bathrooms were clean. Camp host was friendly and gave us space when needed.

We stayed in site 10 which is supposed to accommodate tents and is listed as a double site. There was definitely NOT enough space for two tents (and we paid $60+ a night for it). We ended up putting a tent on the pavement because it was our only option. It should definitely not be a double site.
The neighbors on either side of us were quite loud- listening to loud music from sun-up till well past 10 pm. They were also loudly yelling/fighting. The sites are too close together to have such noisy neighbors.
All that being said, the creek is a great way to cool off on a warm day and we had fun floating down it.
One more side note: a small bundle of firewood was $9!!! You can drive down the road a mile or two and buy a bundle for $5.

We love to go to Perception Park. It is so peaceful, and we love to hike by the river there. The camp host is very kind. Sometimes we see wildlife, like last year we saw owls. We just like having a little peaceful campfire, and we do love seeing the night skies constellations.

We love Perception Park. I've been going there since I was a little girl. The river is a wonderful feature of the campground. It's all paved so it's a clean park as well. If you have any mobility issues this is very helpful. This year there was no water at the campground because the spring was dry. I truly hope this gets resolved. It would be a very sad thing if this canyons campgrounds stayed dry. We saw the warning and were prepared with water, so it wasn't a problem for us at all.
The camp hosts this year were exceptionally nice and welcoming. They make our stay extra nice. We look forward to future stays.

No water this year. Received several reminder emails about our trip and not one of them mentioned that there was no water.
Our group site had 23 parking spots but every few hours the camp host would come by and count our cars and kept telling us we would be charged for extra cars past 10. We had 12 cars overnight. We had about 45 people in our group of 10 families and paid $616 for 2 nights. We stayed solely in our designated group site area. Some families had 2 cars to accommodate different schedules between parents and to fit all supplies and gear. We could not understand why it was an issue. The camp host felt very petty, especially when we were good visitors, followed the rules and kept the site clean. We never did get charged, but felt like it made the campsite feel unfriendly this year.
This review is based solely on this year. Been coming up to this campsite for years and love it. This was year 8 coming up with this same group and have never once had an issue.
