We have been camping at this campground for over 30 years and this last trip in April of 2024 was very disappointing. There was a lot of trash not being picked up by the hosts. The campsites had not been cleaned off and ready for incoming campers and were not being cleaned off while we were there for a week! No one was at the office until the day before we left and we ourselves never checked in at the office. The campground was just very different. It was like it had been let go, not cared for and left to run down! The campground is in dire need of gravel in MANY campsites and limbs and trash need to be cleaned up. Our campsite (number 4) had a huge pond right under our awning for most of our visit because when it rained the water had nowhere to run so it all settled right under our awning. Needless to say it was nasty and our shoes stayed nasty. We had to move our rug elsewhere because it was swimming and would not dry out. This campsite definitely needs some work done to help with the draining issues! We were very disappointed with Petersburg Campground on this camping trip! We hope is gets the attention it needs to get back up to par like it has been in the past!

Huge sites in a gorgeous park. The lake is good for boating, kayaking, fishing, all of it. Our site overlooked the lake and we could walk down to it. Peaceful, quiet. Well worth the trip.

Amazing site right on the water. Gravel could use a refresh and maybe some additional grading to better control runoff. In a heavy rain situation (which we didn’t experience), it was apparent that the site, sitting between higher ground and the lake, would not be a pleasant place.
Overall we had an amazing time and campground was fantastic.
