Our site was not cleaned. Fish hooks and trash on the ground. I understand that the Park maybe short handed.
However, there were serious violations being overlooked. Friends of ours that were camping in a different loop were attached by unleashed dogs. They were jumping in her face and circling her while she held her leashed dog.
I understand there was another incident by these same campers and their dogs. Also, there were two unleaded dogs swimming with their owner at the public beach by the picnic shed. These dogs were well behaved but again the issue was not addressed. We personally encounter two trucks racing through the park. The came at my husband and I as we were riding our bikes on the correct side. These people were at a site that we were told occupied by homeless people... still all rules should apply to all campers. I hope these issues will be addressed.

Petersburg is a favorite of ours, and site #60 did not disappoint. Beautiful view, trees for the hammock, and a goose family to watch daily provided a very relaxing experience. Will definitely be camping here again.

Great campsite. Working water heater in the closest bathhouse would have been a plus. Camp hosts were super helpful and friendly.

Beautiful waterfront campground in site 48 x 1night and 47 x 4 nights (because of a mistake that we made!)
Bath house facilities were immaculate but I beg of you, make the shower areas more private with additional curtains so both showers are self contained.
I'm on the wrong side of 60 and nobody wants to see that or be seen like that. Seems like an easy and inexpensive fix with just a couple more curtains. Please.

Great place to camp. Beautiful sunsets. Can use some upgrades on some of the loops as far as retaining walls and trimming back tree limbs.
