We always enjoy our stays at Petersburg Campground. We find the lake peaceful and relaxing. We watched a family of eagles and beavers . Unfortunately hurricane Helene came thru and downed hundreds of trees.

Such a lovely place to camp. Lake side spots, good distance between spits and very clean, well kept sites.

Great area, quiet, clean, good size somewhat private, and level sites. Clean facilities and friendly staff...sad, water level low but all in all very nice park.

First time camping, and I'm glad I choose Petersburg Campsite. The grounds are well kept, most of the sites has a view of the lake. I really enjoyed it. Can't wait to go back.

@AMYS5542485 · Camped on Aug 20, 2024 at Campsite #44
We loved the peaceful environment at the lake. The sites are spacious, so many right on the water. Our site had an ant infestation that took a couple days to eradicate. Shady spot made for cooler days in the middle of summer. The laundry was a godsend.

Love this place. My wife and i had a wonderful time here. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The bath houses stay very clean
@CindyY3417097 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #59
Site was huge. Great open view of the Lake. A nice level lawn area in front of the campsite to sit and enjoy the view and stars at night. There was a nice staircase down to a small walkable area making it easy to access the lake to fish, swim or boat. Loved this site very much.

This park is friendly with good sized camping spots, a lovely pavilion with grills, playground and swimming area. The water was clean and nice even though the lake was a little lower than normal. We love state parks!
@TammyE0C6E4601 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #5
Petersburg is my favorite place to camp. Wish the whole park was open for winter and they would remodel the bathrooms. Also, wish the Corps of Engineers would build more camp sites since its hard to get spots during the summer. Camp site #5 is awesome. It is a really big site.

Beautiful clean campsite.

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.
@GregA3946377 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #48
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!

Our visit was beautiful.
@DavidN9135851 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #18
#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.
@ShyanneWE15C6B · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #80
Spacious and great beach. One of our favorite campgrounds!
@KimberlyF17054 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #47
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.
@RhettMDFE794BC · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #9
Nice large waterfront sites spaced adequately apart for some privacy. Bathhouses clean. Campground well maintained. One of our favorite places to camp!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
