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.

Beautiful campground. Campsites are very spacious and well kept. Definitely a wilderness feel to each campsite. Bathhouses are also well maintained and located in several areas of the campground. Will be making a return trip to this campground in the future.

Great hosts many beautiful waterfront sites bathhouse is old and tired but long high pressure shower is a nice change from my short low pressure shower in my camper which I use full time. No charge laundry helps when there is nowhere nearby to get quarters

This was our first visit to Petersburg CG, and we are definitely coming back. Most of the campsites here are spaced so far apart that we felt like we had the campground to ourselves. The hosts and staff were great. Between all the loops, and the Bartram Trail near the campground there was more walking and hiking than we could do over a long weekend. We did not see the alligator at the pond, but we did see an Armadillo or two.

This was one of the nicest parks I've ever stayed in. I loved the spacious and level sites. Laundry on site was wonderful. This was a rest stop for me after continuous traveling for several weeks. I spent a week at Petersburg & loved it. The hiking trail was great.
Only 2 small criticisms. If traveling in a motor home, you have to depend on walking or biking to take the trash to the dumpster. In a van camper there is no room to store garbage; I have to take mine every day. So, with bad knees, I did wish for closer dumpsters.
Also, some of the campsites are off the road on a little loop, but there were no numbers up on the road so you would know which loop to go down.
But these small inconveniences did not keep me from loving this park and enjoying my stay. Just wish it were closer to Texas!

Always love staying here. The facilities clean and plentiful and the campground is away from most boat traffic.
