Petersburg Campground is the largest Army Corps of Engineers campground on J. Strom Thurmond Lake, featuring 94 spacious waterfront sites with water and 50-amp electric hookups, a boat ramp with courtesy dock, and a large fishing pier for shore access.

The campground offers two swimming beaches, four bathhouses with showers, a dump station, and free laundry facilities, making it well-equipped for extended stays year-round.

Located just 4 miles from the dam and visitor center and 25 miles from Augusta, it provides convenient access to 70,000 acres of water and serves as the largest trailhead for the scenic 27-mile Bartram Trail for hiking and mountain biking.
