“We expect to be very busy this summer again, we’re prepared and we’re excited to have some guests here, the campground is in great shape and we’re always working on it but they grounds themselves, we’re really pleased with the way things are,” said Sven Gonstead, Marquette County Recreation Coordinator.

Rustic sites at Perkins Park are $20 per night, daily boat launch fees are $6. Sites can be reserved online.
