The camp host Sonny was great, and the extended family loved it so much they want to return next year. We would highly recommend the site.

The camp host, Sonny, was very interested in making certain the camping experience was a favorable one. He is very pleasant and always available to answer questions or take care of concerns. The camp ground is very well kempt and maintained.

The general conditions of the site were pretty good. There were some pretty big holes that had been dug that would have been nice to see filled in. The campsite boundaries weren’t very clear so we were unsure what all was our site. A site map would have been nice. More than once people tried to use part of our site as a day site without approval because it wasn’t marked.
The bathrooms were horrendous! I have been camping a lot in my life so I know what to expect with those kinds of bathrooms and those were the worst I have ever been in. They were filthy with toilet paper everywhere and poo smeared all over the toilet seats. And the smell…..I wouldn’t have expected it to smell nice in there but this was more than awful. I was gagging each time I had to go in there. So bad and the biggest reason for my low rating.

Perception Park was a lovely place! WCCU site is across from two other pavilions next to the river. We had a large group of around 50 people. The pavilions have lighting now. Bathrooms didn't smell bad, plenty of toilet paper. Would suggest bringing sanitizer or soap to wash hands. There is a water faucet available - you can even drink it! :D The camp host was very helpful and generous/laid back. We used our own firewood. We were still talking and laughing until 1:30 am. No one seemed disturbed or said anything. There is a volleyball area and there was a net on it - it's located down the trail. The horseshoes are inside the WCCU site.
Lots of tall trees and gnarly ones too. Very nice paved trail system. River access was great - and pretty. We watched tubers go by. The water was very cold - would not recommend lounging in it - you could get hypothermia. But wading in it for a few minutes was okay.
We don't recommend getting groceries at the gas station at the base of the canyon - prices are twice as much as the grocery store. Don't bring your 4-wheeler - not appropriate at this site.
Perception is simply a beautiful, pleasurable site to camp. We were very happy with our stay and will definitely consider it again! Don't forget your tubes. ;)

The camp host, Sonny, was fabulous. He went above and beyond to check on my group, make sure we were having a good time, and also tried to make sure our time at the local reservoir, Causie, was a good time as well. He was awesome.

This is a great camp ground. The camp sites and roads are paved which makes it nice. Less dust. The sites are easily marked. You can tube down the river from the camp ground. There is also some water stations you can use if you’re tent camping. It is on the road so you will get some street noise. We enjoyed staying there.
