All annual park permits are available at the park office. The state park is open for use and if the office is closed, the appropriate fees can be paid at the self-pay kiosks.
Boat registration is available at the park office. In order to register a newly acquired boat, be sure to bring the bill of sale containing an accurate Hull Identification Number. Another tip when purchasing a boat from an individual, be sure the person you are buying the boat from is the current registered owner in KDWPT's system.
Water is available in all utility campgrounds.(ALERT: Wild Horse campground utility sites are limited to Equine campers only. You must have a horse at the site to camp.)
The Lake View, Eagle Landing and Hobie Cove bathhouses are OPEN for use. Turkey Run and Wild Horse bathhouses are available upon request, provided there are campers in those campgrounds. Pit toilets are still available at both boat ramps.

LONG-TERM CAMPING LOTTERY DRAWING - The drawing for the long-term camping was completed and we still have several sites available. For questions regarding the long-term camping program, please call the park office for more information or email us at perrysp@ksoutdoors.com.
The cabins at Perry State Park are open and reservations can be made online after April 17th. If you have not tried camping in one of Perry’s cabins, consider coming out this summer.
We have installed mileage markers on the Nature Trail in the park. The trail has been cleaned up and marked so you can record your distance and time in order to track your fitness level. If you can complete one mile in 14 minutes or less without discomfort, you are achieving a good fitness level. Learn more about "What's Your Mile?" and take the Healthy Kansas pledge at www.healthykansas.org.
Wild Horse Campground area is open for primitive and utility (electricity and water) use. There are eight utility sites available to equestrian campers only. You must have a horse to camp on these utility sites. The water is on in the Wild Horse campground. We have installed two hitching posts - at site #105 and the other at site #107. We hope to continue adding hitching posts throughout the year. Horse riders are encouraged to come out and enjoy the trails. The bathhouse is open upon request.
