Lake Perry State Lake Campground

I love this lake, would love to see the state invest a little more. It's a beautiful place and not far off the beaten path

Clean, Affordable, Friendly, Beautiful and Safe. We love it as our stay over from the coast to Jackson trips. 🥰

At first we were thinking, ooooh no! Where did the GPS take us? The road there was desolate and beautiful,but scary at the same time. The end result is simply beautiful 🤫

We did not stay! No one answered or returned a call. Large RV’s DO NOT ATTEMPT. 2 mile narrow road with trees that can damage your vehicle A/C units. Rain caused road flooding and makes passing difficult. Small campsites. Low amp hook ups. Maybe 20 spots. Full. ***This is a beautiful place for small campers, lake fishing and quiet areas. Camping fees due upon arrival. LARGE VEHICLES and towing vehicles will have difficulty turning around if you enter the campers area.

The park and campgrounds is not the biggest, nor the prettiest in the state. But they are pretty well maintained. The campground is a but tight for large RVs and campers. Some spots are ok for tents, where some you'd be hard pressed to find a decent level spot for a tent. The park was clean and very little trash. Trashcans are all over and not overflowing with garbage. If you want to go fishing, there are 4 or 5 piers to do so from or you can launch a boat there. The restroom and shower was clean, but its a bit of a walk from the campgrounds. It costs $17 to primitive camp (no power or water) or $22 for power and water hookups. I believe they are 30amp hookups (I may be wrong and it's 50A). If there is no park ranger available, you pay by honor system. They accept cash and checks. At night it's very quiet there. When I stayed, the campground was about half full and dead quiet at 9pm. To be honest, I didn't think there would be as many people out here as there was. But everyone was on their best behavior and enjoying life. Sometimes, there is a park ranger on site. Sometimes, there's not from my understanding. The nature trail was pleasant and about a half to three-quarter mile walk. It's located at the edge of the campgrounds, opposite of the lake. There is parking there away from the road. The trail enters and exits at the same spot. Once into the woods some, the trail splits; both lead you back to that spot. There is plenty of shade along the way, a few bridges and an interesting observation area. There are benches to rest on periodically. Lots of placards that tell you what the trees are and what their uses are. The trail doesn't get used much, but I enjoyed it. Wasn't maintained great, but it didn't need any major maintenance either.
