What Guests Are Saying
Petersburg Campground features friendly staff and well-maintained, clean facilities, making it a pleasant place to stay. Many campers appreciate the spacious, diverse sites and beautiful views, despite ongoing recovery from Hurricane Helene, which has affected some amenities and scenery. While there are some drawbacks, such as restroom accessibility and low lake water levels, the overall experience remains positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Winter camping at Petersburg is limited to one loop, but there are some really nice sites. Two dump stations, both well set up, water and 50/30/20 electric at the sites. If ever back this way, we'd definitely stay here. Though most of the loops were closed for camping, we enjoyed walking through the roads and checking out all of the campsites to get our exercise. The hiking trail that crosses the entry road is nice, offering great hiking along unspoiled shoreline.

Quiet, winter beauty! Only stayed 1night out of a 3 day reservation due to illness, but can't wait to return. Park is easy to get to, huge sites that feel like you're all alone, and so very beautiful and peaceful. We were in site #A03, a lovely back-in site right on the water. It was long enough that we didn't have to unhook the truck from our 36ft. fifth-wheel trailer. 50Amp power and water at site. Dump site very convenient just past gate upon leaving park. Looking forward to a long stay next time!

the campsites for the campers/travel trailers are super large. Spaced out with privacy in mind. The convince facility was super clean. Highly recommend going to visit. We will return.

We weren't expecting to enjoy the site as much as we did - honestly it was just supposed to be a stop over on our way home from visiting family further west and we just wanted to break up the drive. It is now our favorite campground! we love the large sites and the cleanliness of the grounds and facilities. Our only wish is that the entire campground was open year round!

I stayed on site 23. The only complaint I have is phone service was spotty. Verizon and AT&T would come and go. T-Mobile was nonexistent
