The garbage was over flowing on 2 ground on Sunday and Monday. The grass needed to be mowed.

Someone had been there to cut trees down and left a huge mess. Deep ruts all over the campground and at my spot D56. There was no BBQ table, it was broke with just the legs sticking out of the ground. I would think it would be dangerous if kids were camping there. I love Laurel Branch, have camped there for years. Never seen such a mess. The core should be ashamed to open the camp ground looking like that and charging the same price.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
