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.

We love lot 32 at Petersburg campground but the steps made of railroad crossties are rotten and VERY dangerous ! These steps need immediate attention before someone gets hurt !!!!
Thanks you for your attention on this matter !

This is a beautiful, well maintained park. The dock near our camp site was broken. It might be a good idea to fix it before someone gets hurt on it

Petersburg is a clean quiet campground. Bathhouses are a bit outdated but they were clean. Spots are wide and have fire rings, grills and picnic tables. This is a very wooded campground so there is a lot of poison oak, sumac etc., we did see a very large Timber Rattlesnake on the road warming up when coming in at nearly dusk. We had a very large king snake swim across the water and come on shore at our lot. We had a daily beaver visit as he swam in and out of the cove which was really cool. Being that the area is so wooded wildlife is abundant so we always walked with a stick and carried flashlights. All in all it was a great stay, very relaxing and will definitely visit again!
