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.

This is an amazing place to set up camp and stay awhile! I only stayed a week but could have easily stayed a month if it wasn’t against the rules …beautiful sites almost all on Strom Thurmond (Clark’s hill) lake. My site was #7 , and with the water a bit high I was able to launch my kayak right from my site. Most sites are shaded so it w sound be an awesome place during the summer as well and I also noticed several that had their boats tied up at their site. Paved roads throughout the campground so biking is great. I would definitely recommend and will most likely be back.

This was my first-time camping, "tent camping" at that, with my 13-year-old boy and two dogs. I overpacked not realizing the available amenities. I took advantage of what was available saving extra work and cleanup upon the end of our adventure. We truly enjoyed our time and will definitely continue to do this as to disconnect from technology and appreciate the beautiful nature the good Lord has blessed us with. The staff at the front gate was very helpful and kind to answer my many questions. The only thing I didn't quite appreciate was that the gates don't open until 7am... I wake up pretty early (5am) and had "coffee issues" (1st time camper). The sites are equipped with grills, bathrooms, lake views, opportunity for Kayaking, paddle boarding, (which my son took advantage of), fishing, trails and playgrounds to name a few...just so many things to explore. I will definitely plan and pack better next time. Considering this trip, a recon!

Visiting family in Augusta, and this COE was a perfect base of operation. Site 47 is a very nice pull through right on the reservoir. Very quite other than the speed boats and jet skis running up and down the Lake, but you soon learn to tune them out. Definitely looking forward to a second (maybe longer) stay one day.

Great place to relax besides the last night when some kids were being rowdy all night. Campground was clean and accommodating. We enjoyed the bike trail even though it was flooded. We will try to come back. Thanks
