I found Petersburg Campground one of the best camping places we have experienced!
We loved the spaciousness between each site! We enjoyed the biking but you also have boating, kayaking/paddle boarding, swimming, and fishing! The only thing it’s lacking is a camp store! It’s out away from convenience stores!

We booked Site 35. The max camper size is listed at 35. The way the driveway is configured around the trees and an old stump, we couldn’t get our 31 ft trailer in where is could be unhooked and leveled. No worries, though! The hosts immediately put us on another site that was great. It wasn’t on the water as we wanted but it was spacious, private, and shady. The host, Jim checked on us several times to be sure we were ok! Great place, great people.

We have been going to this campground for almost 10 years. We were so anxious to camp again after Hurricane Helene. We reserved our site to tent camp with our teenage grandchildren. First night was awesome!! Second day we were informed that we had too many tents. We had a family tent and three small tents to give our teenage, opposite genders some privacy. We had to take down two tents and cram all of us together and for what reason? We we had all tents on the tent pad just don’t understand! We counted many other sites with the same number of tents and some sites had even more! We already were dealing with the rain and expected that but to have to take down perfectly set tents and reconfigure sleeping arrangements was just a bit much!

Loved the time there. Campsite was easy access and lake fun to swim in. Not the shadiest spot but we had a canopy.
