The road Wes nearby and noisy. Much more traffic than I expected. The campground also seemed rundown. The fire pit was crumbling, etc.

This is a beautiful campground. It’s in need of some maintenance and attention. If you can ignore all the work that needs to be done, you’ll love the trees, the walking path along the river, and being in these incredible mountains.

We got there on Friday evening. This was the only time we saw the camp host. And that was only because there was a mix up with our names not being on the site we reserved. It wasn’t a big deal and we ended up trading sites with another group. You can buy wood from the host for $8 a bundle. This seems expensive to me. The site was fine, although a little close to the ones around us. It had a picnic table, fire pit, and a charcoal grill. There was plenty of room for a large tent.
The camp is right off Hwy 39. So you hear traffic all night long. (Saturday night traffic wasn’t quite as bad)
The river runs along the south side of camp. There were people with tubes going down the river with several entrances and exits along a paved trail. So bring a tube and your swim suit!
I’m not sure what was going on in the bathrooms. The ones near us had three stalls. And somehow, someone had gone into every stall and smeared poop all over the seat and shot gunned it on the lid. Like seriously, what is happening here?! My husband said the men’s ones were just as bad. Since the campsites were so close it was hard to find a private spot to pee near the camp. So you were kind of forced to use these disgusting bathrooms. Why didn’t the camp host clean this up?!
For the most part it was families enjoying the great outdoors. Of course there is always that one campsite that decides to stay up late playing music, talking loudly, and then at about 1:30am, someone was puking very loudly. Luckily at some point in the night it started to rain and they eventually passed out somewhere. Again, where is the camp host to enforce the quiet hours?
After the previous two nights of little sleep, Sunday morning, we weren’t the only ones packed up and leaving by 8:30 in the morning.

I have been going to Perception Park since I was a baby. Over the years the camp has decayed and not been kept up. I don't mind paying the fees, but why is the money not going back into the up keep of the camp. Fun place. River is always good times.

Our camp host Sonny was the BEST, he went out of his way to make things work out for our stay, he was nice, helpful and communicated well. He is top class when it comes to camp hosts. We enjoyed the camp site, loved the location and the river was so much fun, the riverside path makes it so easy to put tubes in and take out. The place was clean, quiet and the layout of the campground is perfect for small or large groups.

Had a great time on the river. Very few bugs, no rodents other than a muskrat along the river. Great weather, lots of shade, very enjoyable.

We did have to move with the shade, but we loved having such close access to the river. We can't wait to come back!

Trees were overgrown on the loop to get around the campground and scratched my motorhome badly. Everything else was great.
