Camping at Old Town near Perry

Public campground · Perry · 38 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The wider Perry Lake area is a strong draw for water-based recreation and wildlife viewing. The lake, created by a 1969 dam, has about 12,000 surface acres and 159 miles of shoreline and is known regionally for sailing while also supporting powerboating, canoeing and other water sports; the campground's proximity to the boat ramp puts easy water access within reach.

How far ahead to book Old Town

For May weekends, book about 84 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 17 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (6,542 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
