My absolute favorite campground by Causey Reservior. Lots of beautiful trees and the river path make it a refuge. Well-maintained and managed. Sonny, Deb, and Sunny are a delight - so friendly and welcoming. They’re wonderful ambassadors for the outdoors.

My wife has an electric wheelchair and the paved pathways by the river are very nice for her.

This was our first experience at perception! It was so pretty. Still green, which was nice. We stayed at #3, which was a great choice. The river runs behind the campground, and there's benches to sit by the water.
In my opinion, #3 or #14 are the best sites.
The only downer is that you can hear the highway traffic. But overall, it was great.

We choose this camp area because my wife is handicapped. The paved road and walking path are very nice for her electric wheel chair. I like the location for fly fishing access. The camp host was pleasant.

The campground is very pretty and most sites are good. Some are very narrow and short. Trees need to be trimmed up higher to accommodate taller RV's
