What Guests Are Saying
Petersburg Campground is a beautiful and well-maintained site with spacious, clean campsites and friendly staff, making it a peaceful place to enjoy nature. Many visitors appreciate the gorgeous scenery, access to the lake, and the opportunity to see wildlife like armadillos and woodpeckers. Although there are some lingering effects from Hurricane Helene, including tree damage and a need for improvements in certain facilities, overall feedback suggests a positive camping experience.

We loved it here. Site 57 loop C. We have a 43’ fifth wheel and we were able to back in easily. We had a narrow view of the water and path that leads to a shallow pool from the lake. Honestly we loved the seclusion this site offers. We’ll be back.

WE LOVE TO CAMP AT THIS CAMP GROUND - THE ONLY DOWN SIDE THIS TIME WAS THE SEVERAL HOLES IN THE PAVEMENT PRIOR TO GETTING TO THE GATE (PLEASE FIX/FILL IN FOR THE NEXT CAMPERS AS WE ARE 75 YEARS OLD AND THAT MAY BE ARE LAST TRIP DOWN FROM NEW YORK STATE FOR US TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS DONE. THANK YOU

The 2 attendants at Petersburg are great, very friendly and know what they're doing. The campground is very clean and plenty of bathhouses. As far as campgrounds go, I haven't been in a better one.

Site had significant erosion. Maintaince lady call in and Ranger Christy, called in the troops, they brought in heavy equipment. They graded and compacted, and made my site #30 perfect. Thank you all.

Sites need serious repairs. Holes and ruts make it difficult to enter and exit the camping sites.
The underbrush should be cut to allow better views of the lake as well as help control snake nests around campsites and playgrounds. Dead and dying trees need to be cut. Falling trees and limbs during a storm can cause injury as well as costly damage to property.
The road around the boat landing needs repair and widening.
Consider a second vehicle pass around the main gate, for those with displayed park passes, eliminating the long wait for newcomers to finish checking in.
Guests and visitors need to be made aware of the speed limits within the park.
