Many campers appreciate the spacious, diverse sites and beautiful views, despite ongoing recovery from Hurricane Helene, which has affected some amenities and scenery. While there are some drawbacks, such as restroom accessibility and low lake water levels, the overall experience remains positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Only 28 sites were open in early March and I can’t comment on the rest of the grounds. We stayed on #8 and found the site level and cleaned. Very nice water views.

The front guard gate was very helpful and polite and efficient in checking us in and giving us information. We were disappointed that the showers although they were clean, there was no privacy curtains which causes us for concern because of the availability of cameras and I don’t want to see, my grandchildren expose to illegal camera happenings .

Visited in camper van four times for total of one month’s stay in Jan/Feb ‘23. Only one loop open, but took many dog walks around closed loops. Large, private, waterfront sites with water and electric. Free laundry. Bathhouse was clean. There’s a paddle trail on the lake. Get info at visitor center by the dam.

We enjoyed our experience at Petersburg but there was a great deal of logging going on during our visit so things were quite noisy and messy. Sorry that most sites are gravel very hard on tent flooring and outdoor mats. I’m sure it makes for easier maintenance of course. We plan to return in the future. A beautiful park!

Very quiet and peaceful. Large and beautiful sites. Given the location, we were pleasantly surprised with the cell phone and hotspot connectivity (T-Mobile).

Nice open spot with a great view of the cove. U-shaped pull thru is paved, while the other areas are packed dirt/gravel. Bath house was a bit of a walk, but was just as easy to drive. Access to lake was down a steep enbankment about 6 feet down. Small standing area on the shore of about 1-2 feet if you wanted to fish, but the lake is still a little low in depth. Not a lot of tree cover at this site. Got 3-4 bars of 4G with T-Mobile at this site.

Petersburg is a lovely Corps of Engineers campground near Augusta, Ga. Every campsite is on the lake, and the views are gorgeous. Nice sites. Good drainage when it rains. Restrooms are fairly clean and maintained. Ladies, there are no curtains or dividers to provide privacy in the dressing area of the showers.
Close to Augusta. Don't miss the Laurel and Hardy museum in HArlem!
