What Guests Are Saying
Petersburg Campground features friendly staff and well-maintained, clean facilities, making it a pleasant place to stay. 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.

The showers are awesome. Bathroom clean. Nice place for camping without having to be right next to other campers. There are tree breaks between campsites.

Nice spots most have there own little lake front swimming areas. Free washer and dryer and clean bathrooms. Only thing i didn't like was the spot i got was small, and people didn't care about quiet hours and left trash behind and were very rude. Other than that i had a good time at this park.

Had heard about the Corps of Engineers Campgrounds through an owners forum. Needed a place to park for a couple of nights on the way to a teacher training and located Petersburg through the Recreation.Gov website.
Website was very user friendly. Was able to select the site I wanted. Check in was quick and easy with everything being explained by someone who has done this many time.
Roads and sites are clearly marked and mine (75) was super easy to back into. Nailed it the first try.
Most sites in this campground are within 100 feet of the water. Many share small beaches for you to go down and lounge at the water's edge.
Water and Electrical are well positioned for however your RV is configured. Dump station on the way out is easy in and easy out.
If we every get the chance to get back this way with the RV, we will stay here again. For a longer stay.

This is a large site, a combination of pull-thru/back in that has it's own gravel driveway and is set apart from the other campsites offering great privacy. The water access is great with built in steps and a path ending in a small sandy beach area. The fire ring and barbecue grill are in good working order, the picnic table could use a little work and the overhead light pole was broken and needs to be replaced. Bathhouse is a bit of a trek, but was clean and well appointed. This could be easily my favorite site at Petersburg in good weather, unfortunately, we got a bit of rain during our stay. Just a small amount of rain turns the entire camping pad into a mud pit. We took advantage of a small break in the weather to pack up, and went home a day early.

Nice park i got my own beach area to myself, area was clean bathrooms clean. Was going to put 3 stars cause people out there don't care about quiet hours and no body in the park does anything about it. It's called common courtesy which no one there had.
