Great area, quiet, clean, good size somewhat private, and level sites. Clean facilities and friendly staff...sad, water level low but all in all very nice park.

Such a lovely place to camp. Lake side spots, good distance between spits and very clean, well kept sites.

We always enjoy our stays at Petersburg Campground. We find the lake peaceful and relaxing. We watched a family of eagles and beavers . Unfortunately hurricane Helene came thru and downed hundreds of trees.

So nice to have the park opened up again. It looks so much different since Helene but it is still beautiful. It seems like all of the sites are spacious and you are not right on top of your neighbor

We were so happy to be back at our corp of engineers campground. It was devastated by hurricane Helene, but it looks like Petersburg will be looking much better this spring and summer. They have done a great deal of work and we really appreciate it.

It was great to see the newly renovated campsites. They were spacious, level, well spaced out from the other sites. Even though hurricane Helene did major damage to the area, was great to see things coming back together and opening up.

I stayed in loop A, the only area open year-round. Its sites are all located along the shore of the lovely lake and are placed in such a way that, despite the massive loss of trees from Hurricane Helene, there is privacy and a view of the water. This time of the year there aren't a lot of campers, and that generally means a peaceful environment. Kudos to the many park employees and local loggers who worked
so diligently to restore this lovely camping area. Roger Marin Aiken, SC
