Petersburg

Petersburg is our go to campground, they are open year round with nice size sites.

The tent camping along the water from sites around 66 - 70 or so are beautiful and quiet during the week. The restrooms are clean. The campground is cared for. Great spot.

This was our first COE camping experience - we were very pleased! Most of the sites are right on the water (but elevated or far enough away from the waterline that you don't need to worry). Lots of shade and very quiet; while walking around in the late morning, there was very little vehicle traffic even though the campground was about 2/3 full. The boat traffic was a lot less than expected; have stayed at other campgrounds around this lake, and the traffic was much higher in those areas. The main roads are well-maintained; they are barely two lanes wide, but many of them are one-way. The site layouts vary widely; some are easy to back into, while some like ours had a horseshoe entrance/exit. The roads leading into the sites are coarse gravel, while where you park is mostly fine gravel. All the sites I saw had sturdy picnic tables (some fixed in place), heavy fire pits, a grill on a post, a separate table for grilling or fish cleaning, and a large pole with a hook for trash. The grounds are well-maintained; we saw multiple vehicles moving around doing various tasks such as maintenance and brush trimming. The bathrooms and showers were OK; a little old but kept pretty clean - though the men's toilet in one of them was clearly broken (no handle to flush). The map on the website for making reservations doesn't give you a good feel for how the actual sites are arranged or where they are located - many of them appear far from the water when they aren't.

Great place on the lake. Most campsites are spacious, private and level. Kudos to whoever designed this campground. We will return for sure. Thanks for maintaining this wonderful place.

Very well maintained. Clean bath houses. Very helpful camp hosts.

Great campground, but the water was way down. Very hard to keep your boat near by. Will check lake level next time.

Excellent campsite for RVs and campers! Price was reasonable! We will return! Nicely Kept!

Very clean

Awesome Park very quiet and spacious sites!

Petersburg is a beautiful campground with a hiking/biking trail intersecting it. Our site was right on the water, however, I didn't have good access to put in my kayak. There was a retaining wall at our site with rocks at the base. I walked several sites down, but walking out into the water was difficult with muck under the water, close to knee deep. Finally walked further and found access to put in. But hauling my kayak and paddle was a challenge. In spite of that, we spent all our time in the campground, no trips into town. I saw two armadillos, Turkey vultures, blue herons. Very restful place. The hiking is great! Clean restrooms with some updates from other COE campgrounds.
