The campground looks great after all the storm damage clean up. We camp there for many years our favorite local campground. Plenty of places to get things you need while camping. All ways quiet and peaceful.

Sad how much was lost because of Hurricane Helene, but it’s still my favorite local park. Staff are friendly and helpful. Sites are always clean.

We spent New Years eve here. It was great! There had been quite a bit of damage done by a hurricane but I don't think it negatively impacted our experience. The scenery was still very beautiful and the restroom and showers were clean and well kept. I was sad that our stay here was so short. Plenty of space for hiking other activities.

Always enjoy this ACE camping ground.
The weather has been raw during my last two visits, so I'm going to hold off camping for a while.
While walking through the campsite recently, I noted that the cover to the electric panel on site 10 was lying on the ground and damaged to the point where it could not be reattached. This could be dangerous. I noted this last year as well.

The campground looked great. The workers did a great job of cleaning and restoring the campground after Hurricane Helene hit the area. Very satisfied.

always enjoy staying at Petersburg, even though the Hurricane took out a lot of the trees, it is still a very peaceful place to camp. Staff are helpful and always in a good mood.

It was disappointing finding all the clear cutting going on in the campground. It was disconcerting that the Bartram trail has been eliminated in the campground because we always look forward to walking the trail with our dogs.
If we had known we needed to make a reservation before we arrived it would have been easier too. We have never known our exact dates to be there and in years past we just went up to the office paid for our site and that was it. Now you have to make a reservation before you can drive in campground by phone it was a sixteen minute wait and impossible to get on the internet without WiFi!
The campground hosts said they really didn’t know what they were there for because they couldn’t do anything! It looks to me like someone new took over and had to reinvent the wheel when this process had already been tried before and probably failed! Anyway it wasn’t as pleasant as previous visits.
