So the site was almost perfect. We had a level spot for our camper, a great working grill, and it was very clean and the views were spectacular. The only thing I would complain about was there was active ant colonies all over and around the pad. I was stung six times by fire ants that I didn't see on my feet when we were sitting outside on the pad looking at the stars the first night. It would be great if you guys could somehow spray for ants, at least around the perimeter. We've never really experienced this issue before. Next time I'll bring something with us for prevention.
It didn't ruin our trip. The views and friends and fun made up for it. Thank you!

Great park and the nicest staff!! Besides the courtesy dock, bathrooms and the children’s play areas requiring much needed attention for repairs, the grounds were well kept.

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Campground was great. It was very quiet. We originally had a primitive slot (PB2 30) with only electric, but the staff helped us find a slot that was close to the shore with water and electric (PB2 17) that was open for the remainder of our stay. I'd recommend staying away from the marina as much as possible. There were a lot of boats that were coming in late at night with their music playing after a long day on the lake. Other than that, our stay was great and will be back at either PB1 or 2.

Absolutely love Petit Bay! Usually stay at Elk Creek but ventured out to Petit Bay when Elk Creek was full and was not at all disappointed. Ensure your site has water hookups if you are parking a trailer or RV, ours did not, but it wasn't an issue. We were able to stretch a hose across the road to another site so that we could fill our fresh water tank. The people who run the place are so pleasant and helpful with any issues you have. Highly recommend this park!
