We're very disappointed in NOT having someone at the gate and"watching" over the campground. The price has gone up, but the grounds aren't being kept up like they used to be. It's always been one of our favorite go-to campgrounds. Not so sure anymore. Get some hosts back!!! Not volunteers!!!

Our reserved site had a tree that was questionable, so they moved us to a better site. Great campground, very friendly staff. Would recommend.

Site #15 is perfect. We love #12-15. Easy access to water, ideal for boats, kids and great views. Even if water is down its still nice. Great cove, quiet. Across from bathhouse and not far from playground/beach area. (#15 needs a new picnic table, but all good)

We absolutely loved this campground!! Plenty of sites of all sizes! Most sites have a great view of the lake. Easy to dump on the way out.
Quiet and peaceful. Bathrooms/showers were clean. People were friendly. Lake was pretty clear and clean!

Spacious, shaded and all lake view sites.
Very private, friendly stuff and clean. The only setback was the extremely limited T-Mobile cell phone service.

Our visit to Petersburg was okay. We’ve been to this park many times and the Attendant was very friendly at the gate. But our site was filthy. Cigarette butts on table and trash in the fire pit. There was also no soap in the bathrooms. Also the site next to us kept parking their boat and blocking our site. We had to ask them to move their vehicle in order to leave on Sunday

This is the first poor experience that I have had staying at COE campgrounds. Site 12A. The site numbers are very hard to find. Poor design and has been allowed to deteriorate. By the looks of it, no one has used this site in some time; locals know not to choose it. Rain and a constant leaking water spigot have eroded it so much that it was impossible to get the camper level. No attendant on duty when I arrived, and when I phoned the number the next day, I learned that no attendant was on duty at all on Wednesday and half days otherwise. I do think the park looks lovely and peaceful. I might have driven around to find a different site, but I chose to leave.
