Love this place. Wish they would replace hooks and missing mirrors in bathhouses. I couldn’t reach the heaters in there. I’m to short. But a beautiful place. Love the camp sites.

It would be really nice if maintenance could be performed on the walking nature trails that runs parallel to the parking lot and A campsite, all the signs telling children what they were looking at are either gone or unreadable, little stuff like this means a lot to children, too my knowledge nothing has been done for several years.

We enjoy all our time at Laural branch B28 or B29 is our spot wide for chairs around campfire. The host Angie is so sweet and all ways looking out for her camper we’re all like family there. We can’t wait for next season and hope and pray Angie gets the bid. Iam a proud corp of engineer retired employee lake camp sites, bath houses are very nice keep up the good work

C50 was an awesome location right on the water with gravel pad. Tent only (no electricity). Not too much shade but unneeded in the fall. Bit windy when we set up but died down in time for a fire. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms - flushing pit toilets by the campsite and full bathroom and showers by the A section. Great sunset over the lake

The beauty of the fall leaves cascading over the lake captured Laurel Branch at it's best! Our park attendant, Angie came around several times a day. She is so helpful and knowledgeable offering great information to my questions. We love Laurel Branch.
