Easy access into the campground. Staff was Helpful and friendly. Some of the spots are very close to Each other while others were nicely spaced apart. Swim Beach and boat ramp at the end of the campground, which was very busy at times.

Our last visit was disappointing. Lots of folks were occupying campsites they had not reserved or paid for. A family moved onto a site next to ours and that camp site did not have electricity or water. That same family connected several electrical cords together and dragged those cords over to our site and plugged into the electrical box that our RV was plugged into. That family did not ask us if this was ok. It was not right and we decided rather than having any confrontations, we left for home even though we had already paid for another night's stay. In addition, many sites were left with lots of trash on the ground. We had to pick up trash when we arrived at our site. We have camped at Laurel many times and love it, but the campground has definitely gone downhill and that is sad.

We loved this campground. Our site was right on the water and the campground was fairly quiet. Will definitely be back to visit again.

The site did not have a waterfront view and to look at the lake one has to view the adjacent site. It was also hot.

Beautiful campgrounds. Our spot was the best this year with lots of shade. It was hot, so the shade was a must! The only thing I would change was the bathrooms closest to the beach. Someone made a huge mess in one of them and it was never cleaned up. I understand it was a busy week, with lots of campers, but it was pretty nasty. Otherwise I wouldn’t change a thing! We won’t let this prevent us from coming back. People (campers) need to be more considerate of others and the facility.

We reserved site C40 6 months before our planned trip. Our extended weekend in June turned out to be very very hot. This site has absolutely no shade....at all. Photos on the web/app show a tree at corner of site but that tree is gone. Your camper is just a few feet from the camp road....we had no small children or pets but be warned of this. Behind you is beautiful Rough River just steps away though....thankfully. Also, keep in mind your camper faces the road...not the lake.
