This is a beautiful campground that has been carefully restored after Hurricane Helene. We really enjoyed our stay, but the only concern was the people who had been using the campsite before us left a lot of trash and liquor bottles everywhere, so we had to do quite a lot of cleanup when we first arrived.

Although the weather was extremely hot. The camping experience was awesome. Nicely shaded and large sites. Can only imagine the destruction of the prior storms.
We will definitely come back again.

This was our favorite site at Petersburg until this trip when it rained a good bit our first afternoon and the whole pad was flooded. We had about 2-3 inches of standing water until everything dried up.

This was our first visit to an Army Corps of Engineer campground. The campsites are nicely spacious and have nice views of the lake. The restrooms were well maintained. We're looking forward to camping at other ACOE campgrounds.

Campsite was spacious and clean. Would have been right on the water but the lake is really low. Camp took quite a hit from the tornado, so clean up is still going on. Friendly hosts. Very quiet!

We arrived at 4:16 - there was no one at the gate to check us in. There were no campground host in site our entire visit. We were unable to find our site because there was no signage. When we were walking around looking for the bath house two cars stopped and asked if we knew where the bath houses were. Our site was littered with cigarette butts and the fire pit didn’t lay on the ground. The lake is beautiful and I realize that the campground is still undergoing renovations due to hurricane Helene however our neighbors had issues pulling out in the morning and were stuck for hours until finally a fellow camper came to help them (again ZERO campground host arrived). This has always been a family favorite and I believe that most of the negative I’ve stated could have been avoided had the hosts done half of their duties.

This has been 1 of our favorite camp grounds to visit. Since after the storm and the rebuilding process it is even better than before. Still has a lot more work that is being addressed it is going to be better. Needs another boat ramp and a couple of new bathroom bath house. Always quiet.
