      HI Bobby,
      It appears that Petersburg campground is closed for camping. Georgia State Parks are open, but with limited services and availability. You may try calling Petersburg campground directly to check on status: 706-541-9464.

    We are trying to get some information about booking a group of sites and hosting a wedding. We would like to know if this is permitted within the camp ground. We have tried to call and there is no one available to talk through details.
