Site 4 near the bathroom and in front of the water facet. Very private site. We had a 12ppl tent and where able to set it up near the dry creek away from the view. It was very quick and clean,

Site 10 was nice and secluded. It was convenient to the spigot, the restrooms were clean, and the camp hosts were friendly.
The only drawback was the only open area for a tent was just on the other side of a couple of trees from the campground street. That wasn't a huge deal, but I give it 4/5 as a tent camper. I expect it would be a 5/5 site for RV campers, especially since it's a pull through.

As always, we had a great experience camping at Peterson Prairie Campgrounds. Restrooms were clean. The Camp Host was very helpful and congenial. Evenings and nights were quiet.

It was a great space for our church camping weekend. We ate and played together. Some hiked to Natural Bridges. Lots of room for 10-12 camping units. Clean restrooms.
