What campers say
The campground report card
We don’t recycle other sites’ reviews, but the published scores tell a clear story: campers rave about the spotless bathhouses, the long, level sites, the dog areas and the friendly owners. The complaints are short office hours, some road noise and sun on the open sites, and not much to do in Perry itself.

Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether Perry KOA fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: a clean, friendly, well-run KOA with long pull-thrus, private dog yards and a heated pool, right on the main road into the Big Bend. It works as an easy overnight stop or a quiet winter base for fishing and scalloping trips; just don’t expect much nightlife in Perry, and check the office hours before you arrive late.

Good to know before you pull in
Five things that change your booking
Ask these on the phone before you reserve.
- Which site fits my rig? The 30/20 amp back-ins suit campers under 32 ft; ask for a pull-thru if you’re longer.
- Can I get a dog-yard site? These fenced-yard pull-thrus are popular; book early and use the note field.
- Is there a late-arrival process? Office hours are short; ask how to find your site after closing.
- What does a month cost? Monthly rates aren’t published; call or email Perry@koa.com.
- Are kayaks available for my dates? Rentals are by the half or full day; ask at booking.
