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 really liked this campground. We’ve been down the road at Modoc and loved that one. The only reason I didn’t mark excellent on this one is because the approach into the site was a little awkward with the slope and angle. Other than that, it’s a great campground.

One of the best Army Corp campgrounds.

The most beautiful campground I have ever seen. Really nice people running it. The only thing that let it down was a large party of intoxicated campers screaming obscenities at the top of their lungs until 2:30 a.m. one night. I did consider calling the police because there was violent sounding fighting going on. There needs to be some basic policing of behaviors and of the drinking rules of the park. Otherwise, very beautiful.

Petersburg Campground is our "Go to" campground. Plenty of sites on the water and they are spacious with lots of trees. Petersburg is the cleanest campground we've been to. Not to mention the lake is gorgeous!!! We've been twice this year and are ready to go back again!

The camp host helped me and my wife when we were moving to a different site. She's an awesome lady.
