Perry State Park

Where the rolling hills of northeast Kansas meet the shores of a vast reservoir, Perry State Park Campground offers an inviting blend of scenic beauty, outdoor recreation, and modern conveniences. Located near Ozawkie on the southwest shore of Perry Reservoir, this campground is surrounded by nearly 11,000 acres of water, 160 miles of shoreline, and lush upland forests, making it a haven for nature lovers, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts.

The campground features 118 utility sites with electric and water hookups, along with numerous primitive camping spots, catering to both RV travelers and tent campers.

For active explorers, Perry State Park is home to more than 40 miles of well-maintained trails—15 designed for mountain biking, 25 for horseback riding, and a mile-long nature trail. The lake's extensive boating and fishing opportunities, including abundant crappie and channel catfish populations, add to its appeal as a recreation hotspot.
