Pettit Bay is a popular campground known for its friendly staff, clean sites, and great amenities like the nearby marina and dining options. Many visitors enjoy the beautiful views, ample shade, and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for camping. However, there are concerns regarding maintenance, particularly with overgrown grass, restroom facilities, and the overall upkeep of some areas.

We loved the campground; it was nice and spacious. The shower/bathroom area needs some updates. The shower curtains need to be replaced and it would be nice to have a different type of shower head.

The park was beautiful, however the bathrooms need more ventilation and having gates locked at 10 was an inconvenience

We tent camped. Swimming area is just south of site A27. We had no idea where it was when we reserved our spot. Not a beach, just rocks, so bring sturdy lake shoes.
Ask for a number to report people who come in the middle of the night. We stayed 3 nights. 1 night had visitors to the campground who blasted music for 40+minutes as they drove around waking up campers. 40 minutes is WAY to long for them to not be thrown out. But we didn’t have a number to contact to get rid of them. Crappy nights sleep and cranky kids the next day.
There were 2 showers per bathroom available. One of which only produced a drizzle of water. Walls were so warped you could see into the shower next to you. Curtains were covered in mildew and had very rusty rods. Benches for holding shower items were bolted too far from showers, causing you to have to dart out of the privacy(if you could call it that) of your stall and hope no one saw you.
Water was pretty, and easy to get to, but the partitioned swimming area was only about 3 ft deep (due to the lake being extremely low). We had a large campsite but there wasn’t access to drinking water.
Photos of campsites are out of date. Ours was supposed to have a stand alone grill and it had been taken out.
Knowing what I know now, I’d camp here again if I can get a complaint number and if I bring my own solar shower….and earplugs.
