Overview

Hype:

Perception Park Family Campground is located on the banks of the South Fork Ogden River at. Campers love the park for its shade and great river access. This scenic campground is situated among shady cottonwoods and willow. Moose and deer wander through the campground on occasion. It was built for the use of the physically challenged in the mid 1980s. This qualifies Perception Park Family as a higher standard campground. Concrete platforms with benches have been placed in several locations along the river for the enjoyment of the handicapped. Although the campground was built for the use of the handicapped, it is not for their exclusive use. Popular local recreation activities include fishing, swimming, and tubing (a life jacket is required for all tubers) on the river at this family-friendly and fully accessible site. Hiking is also popular on the paved nature trail that runs alongside the river. This campground also has a playground, volleyball court, and horseshoe pits.
