It was ok. The people running the place were nice. The camp sites are very close to one another. We had a group show up at 10 pm with their lights on. The kids beside us came back around 2 pm to start a fire. Not much to do if you dont have a boat or what to drive for 30 minutes to the state park. The site was definitely on a slight down grade and securing our tent in the ground was kind of hard. Not sure where the tent pad that was supposed to be there was.

Perry south is a nice, small camp ground. The sites are large and well spaced. We have a class A motorhome and while we made it in, I would recommend smaller rigs.

The hostess and the campgrounds are great. We had trouble at the boat lauch area, lots of grass on the propeller. We hope that next year it is drugged out. We have never seen it so bad.

The camp hosts were absolutely wonderful people and kept the camp in pristine condition cleanest bathrooms ever!
@ChrisB5203459 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025
Perfect spot! Great for the kids. Boat dock a plus. Great shade on hot summer days.

We love this campground. The hosts are fantastic and the bathrooms are kept so clean.

Great camp hosts! The facilities and sights were all in great shape. The restrooms were the cleanest and shiniest that Ive every seen with waste baskets and hand sanitizers and a solar light. Nice boat dock, Fishing was fun and the campers were mellow.

The hosts were wonderful. The scenery was gorgeous

Love this campground. For some reason this year, in September, we had a horrible fly infestation, so we really needed a screen over all our table and food, which I have never needed before, so did not have. Came to realize we were close to the overflow dumpsters in the parking lot, and they did not have lids. these dumpsters also get fish remains from the cleaning station. Thus, the smells was horrific and the flies were likely breeding in the open containers. Otherwise, our visit was perfect.

Beautiful campground. Wonderful camp hosts. Clean bathrooms. Quiet at night. We had a great stay - Monday-Saturday. Thank you, Camp Hosts, for making our week so great.

The camp hosts were very nice and helpful.
@TrevorWC5D214E · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #11
Great campground and great hosts. Got a little crowded on the weekend, but that's to be expected.
@MargaretS19398 · Camped on Sep 22, 2023 at Campsite #10
There were only 3 parties camping when we went the end of September, 2023. Wouldve been epic, had it not been for a crazy group that overstayed their limit. The hosts were very nice and the bathrooms clean. Sites were well-maintained. We were surprised to be charged to park the boat and not planning on that expense. $10/day was too much. Otherwise, a great stay!

We had a great time in site 54, the campers across from us were great, they greeted us as soon as we arrived, the husband continued to engage us every time he drove by throwing up a 1 finger peace sign on the door frame of his truck. We got a 2nd site because I didn't want my 5 year old to be overwhelmed by the amount of attention they gave us, but I continued to use the original site. I hope to see them next year, maybe we can be right next to eachother.

We always love coming to Perry South campground. We have been going for at least 10-11 years!
@MikeR7257230 · Camped on Aug 20, 2023 at Campsite #26
Camp host don't communicate, the dock has screws that stick out and cut your feet. The fish station has a water issue but looks like they where trying to fix it when we were leaving.
@BorisB4152592 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #20
The nearby toilet was squeaky clean and smelled citrusy! Camp hosts are doing a great job taking care of the grounds. The site is situated further away from the main driveway to the boat launch, on a hill, and feels more private. Partial shade (mostly full sun from 11-4pm). Very unique area to visit and look at the canyon and the lake. Not the best place to paddle though. The water has unpleasant green color and too many motorboats going fast on the way to Cove Palisades. If you do choose to paddle, go left into the Metolius arm. We only saw one motorboat going past us and it was nice and peaceful.
@RalphR6743344 · Camped on Jul 13, 2023 at Campsite #7
Nice, clean charged us for an extra car for $60 . It was a motorhome

@BradL9549076 · Camped on Jul 12, 2023 at Campsite #11
Iterate that there is no swimming in the boat launch area.
@IanB1361417 · Camped on Jul 9, 2023 at Campsite #8
Great visit! Clean bathrooms and great Jr. Ranger program that PGE has!
@heiditE3E04846 · Camped on Jul 9, 2023 at Campsite #48
Our favorite campground of all time! Been coming here for over 30 years!!!
@JuliaG4936643 · Camped on Jul 6, 2023 at Campsite #32
We've been coming to Perry South for decades. Sites are always clean and well maintained. On this visit, the restrooms/outhouses were immaculate! The camp hosts also had a great new visual sign for reserving a boat slip. I'd love to see boat slip rentals available on line in the future. NOTE! you still want to be bring cash/check to pay for boat slips or extra vehicles as paying with credit card is not a reliable option. See you next year!
@IniceG8CEBCFA4 · Camped on Jul 4, 2023 at Campsite #40
Great campground. very quiet. Camphost was great. Liked the new change re boat slips since you know for sure you have your own spot when you return from boating. Worth the $10/day extra for sure.
@JIMB8977280 · Camped on Jun 15, 2023 at Campsite #43
Camping experience was fabulous. Really liked the new style pit toilets, no stink like old designs. We did a lot of canoeing. Easy to launch ramp area. No mosquitoes. Quiet neighbors. We'll go again.
@ChrisC9047590 · Camped on May 29, 2023 at Campsite #26
The camp hosts were great!! They have been doing a great job of keeping the campground clean and well maintained. The addition of reserved boat slips has been a welcome addition to the facilities for the last couple of years. This has been very helpful to have a dedicated slip for our large 25ft pontoon boat.This year we were surprised and disappointed to find out that there's now a $10 per night slip fee. This new fee is not a good idea. We were also told that my disability Golden Access Pass is not good for a discount on this boat slip fee. It's good for the campground fees and day use fees, but not the slip fee. This fee on top of the campground fee is too much. This will definitely curtail our camping at Perry South. We already have cancelled our next trip to Perry South so we will be going somewhere else. Other than that, it was a great trip and enjoyed the fishing.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
