I stayed on campsite 49B. The site itself was absolutely beautiful. The only complaint I had (not the fault of the campground), because it is on a peninsula, it was very windy. Not sure if it is like that all the time, but consider that when making your reservations.
We rode around the grounds on bikes. I did not see a bad site on the grounds I would definitely stay here again.

We have camped in over 60 campgrounds across the country in the last three years and Petersburg is now one of our favorites. We stayed on site 49 and felt like we could stay there for the next few months. It was so relaxing sitting under the towering pines and enjoying the beautiful views of the lake. When we walked our dogs around the campgrounds, we checked out all of the other waterfront sites. It seemed like almost everyone we viewed, we commented, "That's a nice one." We look forward to returning again.

Huge, clean and level campsites with most at the lake. We have Cricket as our service provider and there were major issues with reception. We will be coming back to this campground.

Didn’t have 50 amp service so we had to use 30 amp and propane for heating.
