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.

Sites need to have a layer of crush and run. After a rain the sites have puddles due to lack of drainage. The fire pit was a very large hole that filled up with water after a rain and stayed mostly muddy, so not usable. Grills are rusted and unusable. No soap in the dispenser the 6 nights we camped. Pluses are the sites are spacious with beautiful lake views. Large roped off area for the children to swim.

No one at the gate on arrival and when departing early the next morning. Proceeded to the reserved site without any problem.

Nice Park. Some sites are on the water, if you can get one.

Wonderful place to camp, dog walk, ride a bicycle, and kayak. Petersburg gives Georgia State Parks a run for their money. But don’t worry, we’ll keep coming back to Petersburg.

Great visit, even though it rained most of our trip. We stayed on site 53 and the sunsets that we did experience were amazing! The campground for the most part is very well kept. The boathouse closest to site 53 could use some updating and cleaning, especially on the men’s side. Other than that, a great experience. We will be back!!
