What Guests Are Saying
Petersburg Campground features friendly staff and well-maintained, clean facilities, making it a pleasant place to stay. Many campers appreciate the spacious, diverse sites and beautiful views, despite ongoing recovery from Hurricane Helene, which has affected some amenities and scenery. While there are some drawbacks, such as restroom accessibility and low lake water levels, the overall experience remains positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Nice large waterfront sites spaced adequately apart for some privacy. Bathhouses clean. Campground well maintained. One of our favorite places to camp!

#18 was a great spot for our first time in the camper! We have two littles that were able to swim in the cove and meet their friends staying across the way in the middle. It was a walk to the water, the path was mostly clear but pretty steep. You can see the water from the spot, but not the bank. No cell service at all (Verizon). The golf cart made the swim beach more accessible.

Mr. Bill and Christy are awesome! They are the best attendants that the COE has had their in years. They are extremely nice and if their is any issues they take care of them promptly. They need to be taking care of Pettersburg year round!

SITE 80 Whew! Barely made it into that one without sliding down the gravel hill with grooves in it. It is close to water but you'll have ot hike down. Cell service with T-mobile is is great, Wifi through Verizon home internet was great too. You'll get the afternoon sun here as it faces WEST. Site is a BACK IN and a little tight.

SITE 40 Great spot with private steps to swim beach. Cell service with T-mobile is great and Wifi through Verizon home internet was good too. You'll get the afternoon sun here and some frogs at night :) You must make a complete U-turn to get here, could be troublesome for larger campers. Site is very level and faces WEST for great sunsets. Very quiet, private site.

SITE 47 Great spot, close to water where you can jump in. Has lots of steps down to the lake. Cell service with T-mobile is great and Wifi through Verizon home internet was great too. Site faces EAST but you will get some afternoon sun here. Site is a large pull-through and you'll need just a couple leveling devices for 1 side.

SITE 12: Great spot, close to water. Has a few steps down to lower seating area. It's walking distance to showers and swim beach near site 6. Cell service with T-mobile is not good here but Wifi through Verizon home internet was sufficient. You'll get the afternoon sun here and LOTS of frogs at night :) Site is a BACK IN, (or sharp pull-through) and you'll need some leveling devices for this one.
