Nice size site (7A) mostly level pad with a great view of the lake. Directly across from the bathhouse. The Bathhouse is old and outdated BUT everything was functional and cleaned. We regrettably only stayed two nights. Would have loved to stay longer.
We come here often and stayed here after getting kicked off the blue ridge parkway due to hurricane Helene. We were one of six sites that were here for the storm. No one was injured but that beautiful park is a mess. Camp hosts Kevin and Amy lost their trailer when destroyed by a pine tree but thankfully they were in the other end. Very nice people and a pleasure to meet them. We've left 5 star ratings in the past but this time it's for the rangers, park service and volunteers that wasted no time checking on us and cutting us a pathway out, even before there was gas or a place to go to. These are pictures of the road in the first loop, the host's trailer and the boat ramp. I couldn't get through to the rest of the park. They've got a big job ahead of them but It was a five star park before the storm and it'll be a five star park when they're done.
This is a very nice place to camp. The staff Mr Bill and Christy are the best! Please don’t let them go anywhere. They are the best campground attendants that Petersburg has seen since Don and Margaret Ward. Bill and Christy are very friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and the rules. They go above and beyond to see that there gust have a positive and fun stay at Petersburg.
We enjoyed our short stay at this campground. The sites are large, the trees are tall, the sunsets are beautiful. Our site was right on the water, so peaceful and restful. The nights were quiet, the days were peaceful but for some boat noise in the distance. This was a great access point for the bike trails which we thoroughly enjoyed!
We were very happy with the spacious campsite (Loop A #10 pull-through) right on the water. The lake was a bit low (pre Hurricane Helene).
