Perch Lake Campground is on the shores of Perch Lake, I would say about 30% of the sites are on the lake itself. Those sites generally have a spot where you can beach your boat. The remaining sites are interior, however there is a boat ramp at the campground so you can get out on the lake. The campground is wooded so only a few of the lakefront sites get sunlight for a portion of the day, so don't plan on relying on solar. During our time here in August, the lakefront sites were full most of the time. However the interior sites were generally empty, even on the weekend. Most of the campers were fishermen. That is because there is nothing else to do at the campground. There is no swimming beach nor are there any trails to speak of. If you have watercraft you will find plenty to do. We kayaked all around the lake and really enjoyed it. We did ride our bikes on the backroads, but that wasn't that enjoyable. If you need additional activities Lake St Kathryn and Norway Lake campgrounds are nearby and have beaches and trails.
