Even after the damage it is still a very nice campground.

The campground host that resides in site #1 in the large Class A camper is a belligerent bully, unless you talk down to him the way he talks down to you, which unfortunately I had to do.
The old crow that resides in the white camper up front near the entry gate and where's a hat like Slash from Guns and Roses isn't much better... They both need a serious attitude adjustment, and if they keep treating people the way they do somebody's bound to give it to them! Neither have any people or communication skills, let alone customer service skills... I have no idea how those two clowns made it through life as far as they have and why anybody in their right mind would hire either of those two men as campground hosts!
At Petersburg Campground the rules only apply to the people they generally don't like or care for, and that would include most that don't have a large fancy newer type of camper, or not a local... These two aforementioned guys definitely discriminate and profile people and their vehicles /campers...
In my opinion these two old hateful aforementioned guys are a federal lawsuit waiting to happen and have no business being campground hosts anywhere!
There poor attitudes filled with contempt disdain and hate are enough to ruin anybody's camping experience at Petersburg Campground, but I didn't let it ruin mine, I just mouthed back at them and gave them some of their own medicine, and when they threaten to call the ranger on me for what they perceive to be breaking their rules I simply told them-- Go ahead I'll be right here waiting for them, and went about my business as usual. These guys enjoy belittling. The campground itself is pretty nice other than the fact that it was decimated pretty badly by Hurricane Helene, but in my opinion it's overseen by some real loser campground hosts, other than a third set of part-time campground hosts that are from Wyoming ( Paul & Kat) who are actually pretty nice down to earth people that are reasonable and sensible...

We are so happy to have our campground back after Hurricane Helene. She certainly left her mark, however I think she will be looking very nice in the spring.

Petersburg was nice and quiet. Lot 6 was the best location foe being on the water.
The only drawback to my stay was that there is still a lot of cleanup that needs to happen, due to hurricane Helene, and the area leading into the campground has recently been logged, and all of that detracts from the beauty.

80% of trees have been cut so there’s no privacy. Check in and check out times are wrong on website and reservation email so someone from the park came banging on our door and was extremely rude asking if we were leaving that we should have already been gone. Check in is apparently at 1pm not 3pm like website says yet no one is at the check in point until 2pm-4pm everyday so makes zero sense. We love staying army corp but will NEVER return to this one

Great park. Gate attendant really helpful. Restrooms well taken care of. A shame to see all the tree damage after the last hurricane.

Great campground. Just opened 23 sites back up. We stayed on 24 & 26. Both pull through on the lake or not so well full lake. It was very low. But still enjoyed the relaxing for 10 days. This park will be really nice with all the new campground items now. There are some beautiful spots for camping. There are no trees left, a few still there and you can tell the storm came right down the middle of it. Great walking area. The bathroom in the this area is open and nice. It has a washer/dryer for free that can be used. If you want firewood, it’s lying everywhere.

There's lots of trees down which makes for good firewood if it doesn't rain. Not much to do here but relax. Publix and Walmart are close by if needed. Parts of the lake was dried out. Pictures showed that the water would be in front of us but it was non- existent. Bathroom was warm and clean until last day. Rain flooded the campsite. Need more gravel over the dirt in some areas of the campsite. It was quiet for the most part. I probably would not come back to this one. No hiking trails.
