Campground Overview
About 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.
The campground features a variety of site options, including 149 electric hook-ups, full-service sites with sewer and water, and more rustic, non-electric spaces perfect for tent campers. Well-equipped bathhouses with flush toilets and warm showers ensure comfort after active days, while paved roads and organized loops enhance accessibility. Visitors can enjoy direct access to the lake for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, as well as a sandy beach for swimming during summer months. Over 15 miles of hiking and biking trails beckon exploration, and winter activities like snowmobiling and cross-country skiing make this a year-round destination.
Laurel Hill State Park is located just eight miles west of Somerset, Pennsylvania, within the picturesque Laurel Highlands. A short drive opens up additional recreation at Forbes State Forest and charming towns nearby. Whether planning a weekend getaway or a longer escape, this campground offers an exceptional base to experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of the region.
