Great camping sites, most are large and not close to each other. Very friendly staff as always.

Beautiful park but I picked the wrong site (#46). Didn't realize it was a buddy site until after we had traversed the driveway down to the site (my fault). We arrived after a weekend of rain. Lots of entrances to the sites, including ours were very rutted. Also, our site where the camper would normally be parked was so soft we didn't feel comfortable. We moved up more toward the fire pit/pinic table & thankfully had enough cord & hose to reach. We reported the ruts to the gate staff. We did mark a few other sites that would work for us but we are going to give Winfield a try next time. Note that the turn off hwy 221 is quite narrow. As we were making our turn onto Petersburg Road a COE worker came barreling down the road to exit the park. We braked hard to avoid hitting him. He stopped right at the stop sign & wouldn't move. Since there isn't a 'turn lane' we were causing a backup on 221. We made the poor decision to cut our turn short & the back right end of our camper (28') went off onto the muddy ground. It busted our stabilizer. Not a huge deal but it could have been avoided if: 1) the worker had backed up about 10 feet or went ahead & turned onto 221, or 2) we could have waited him out. Live & learn .....

We love this park and have come several times. All the sites are large and offer beautiful views of the lake.
See you again in the fall Petersburg Campground!

Always quiet, serene and restful. The caretakers do a wonderful job preparing the site so set up is always easy and a breeze!

Greeting at the little ranger station was very welcoming. Campsite was sparkling clean. Hookups were in great shape. View of the lake was perfect. Fishing was easy from the shore.

49 was a beautiful site. Out on point. Other than weather and wind great spot but if boating maybe not such a good spot due to the retaining wall.
