Laurel Hill State Park

What sets Laurel Hill State Park Campground apart is its seamless blend of modern convenience and natural serenity, with 262 well-maintained campsites surrounded by lush, forested terrain and the sparkling 63-acre Laurel Hill Lake. This campground defies the stereotype of crowded state park camping, offering a balanced mix of privacy, family-friendly amenities, and proximity to exceptional outdoor adventures.
