Petersburg

This was a very large site with a lovely water view. No water access though.

We have been camping at Petersburg for almost 20 years. Our experience is usually great, however not so much this last trip. We stayed during Masters week in Augusta, which usually means the campground is booked at 100% capacity. We were surprised to see the guard gate was hardly maned. Also, the C loop shower house had signs on it that said it was out of hot water and to go to another campground bathhouse. C loop consists of smaller campsites which draws mainly tent campers and non electric so this is probably the bathhouse most heavily used. 2 days from packing up I realized the hot water was either fixed or had never been out to begin with but the sign was left up. This bathhouse was also out of soap (we donated some of ours) and it looked like the stalls had just been sprayed with chemicals and never wiped down. This was very unfortunate for one of their busiest weeks of the year. The site to the left of ours was covered in leaves and grass and trash, like it had not been maintained. We also had the campground host/volunteer ask if we were “just not going to leave”. I showed them on my phone we had the proper booking, and they apologized and said they were having computer problems. Again this campground usually has an air of excitement and organization, especially this week of the year. I remember years past there were even games like horseshoes set up at various spots . It was unexpected to have deviated so much from its normal operating standard. It’s a beautiful place to stay and convenient to town.

Nive views!

Amazing site right on the water. Gravel could use a refresh and maybe some additional grading to better control runoff. In a heavy rain situation (which we didn’t experience), it was apparent that the site, sitting between higher ground and the lake, would not be a pleasant place.

Overall we had an amazing time and campground was fantastic.

Huge sites in a gorgeous park. The lake is good for boating, kayaking, fishing, all of it. Our site overlooked the lake and we could walk down to it. Peaceful, quiet. Well worth the trip.

The staff at the gate that checked us in and out weee outstanding and are always very friendly.

Site 19: great site! Easy access to the water, so bring your float or kayak. Very spacious site. Friendly staff. Clean bathhouse. Definitely going back!

We have been camping at this campground for over 30 years and this last trip in April of 2024 was very disappointing. There was a lot of trash not being picked up by the hosts. The campsites had not been cleaned off and ready for incoming campers and were not being cleaned off while we were there for a week! No one was at the office until the day before we left and we ourselves never checked in at the office. The campground was just very different. It was like it had been let go, not cared for and left to run down! The campground is in dire need of gravel in MANY campsites and limbs and trash need to be cleaned up. Our campsite (number 4) had a huge pond right under our awning for most of our visit because when it rained the water had nowhere to run so it all settled right under our awning. Needless to say it was nasty and our shoes stayed nasty. We had to move our rug elsewhere because it was swimming and would not dry out. This campsite definitely needs some work done to help with the draining issues! We were very disappointed with Petersburg Campground on this camping trip! We hope is gets the attention it needs to get back up to par like it has been in the past!

Love Petersburg! Been coming her for 25+ years.

We only stayed 1 night in site 42. Very spacious. Very Clean. Beautiful sunset! Campground staff very helpful and friendly. I wish that we would have stayed more nights.....next time we will!
