What Guests Are Saying
Petersburg Campground is a beautiful and well-maintained site with spacious, clean campsites and friendly staff, making it a peaceful place to enjoy nature. Many visitors appreciate the gorgeous scenery, access to the lake, and the opportunity to see wildlife like armadillos and woodpeckers. Although there are some lingering effects from Hurricane Helene, including tree damage and a need for improvements in certain facilities, overall feedback suggests a positive camping experience.

On arriving at our campsite we noticed a foul smell and reported it. Camp host was notified and he arrived and said we could move so cleanup could be done. That was ok but we had to leave family camping around this site. We ended up on the other side of campground. Over all we had great service from all employees at campground. Thanks to everyone at the campground.

ANTS WERE EVERYWHERE!!! We used over 4 cans of ant spray and still we couldn’t keep them out of our brand new camper. We liked the size of the site with crush and run. Campground should consider ground treatment.

There must be two set of rules for campgrounds. One set published that everyone can read and most follow. The second set of rules seems apply to the weekend campers, mostly. Even though the rules state that Sites are limited to 4 vehicles total. The site next to us had 6 vehicles and two trailers parked all around their site. This made it difficult to drive the loop.

Loved it! This was not our first time there, and definitely not our last. The only issue, we were in a tent, and it was just too damn hot. I need to buy a nice small camper! Lol
