Not recommended if you are looking for a quiet place.
The risk of it getting noisy is relatively high, as large groups of campers gather here very often.
Also the risk of ATV/OHW being used here, especially by children/youth, is relatively high. Most of the time the "loop" (Forest Rd 70442c) is used as a race track. If you are too close to it, it is very noisy and very dirty because dust is constantly being kicked up. You have to close your RV windows if you don't want the dust in your RV.
As far as I know, this is even an ATV free zone, but most people don't care.
What I also noticed is that almost no one has their dog on a leash.
Fortunately, there are plenty of other places everywhere a few miles away or across the creek (440A).
Right now, at least part, of Forest Rd 205 / Alturas Creek Rd is being paved.
The weather during the summer is great because of the elevation of 7,020 ft / 2,139 m.
The area between Stanley, ID and Ketchum, ID is beautiful and it looks like you can camp almost anywhere.
I will come back to this area for sure but not to this exact "Perkins Lake Dispersed".
As a Boondocker beginner I have come to understand, if you see ATV/OHV, move on. Apparently these people don't get that their vehicles are always loud and always kicking up dirt.

Spent the 4th of July week at this location. BLM land, so free. 14 day limit though no one checked in with us. We camped along creek within 20 feet of bank. Rafters and kayaks traveled creek during holiday weekend. Enter by Forest Road 314, to 207 to 207a to 440. Check Forest Road map picture. The Sawtooth National Recreation ... more

Enter by Forest Road 314, to 207 to 207a to 440. Check Forest Road map picture. The Sawtooth National Recreation Area Visitors Center is just north of Ketchum and contains maps, dump, and water.
The meadow along FR440 has a herd of deer that graze everyday during our time here.

I think we could’ve stayed here for a week!! This BLM land was absolutely free. Easy road to get in. Had our pick of spots along the lake, with fire rings, and only had a couple neighbors that night. So so peaceful, quiet, and beautiful.
