Have camped here about 15 one week trips. The campground is divided into 3 loops, / areas. Overall the campsites are nicely built into a rather hilly area. About 2/3 of the sites have good modern electric service. There are 4 showerhouses, that are kept clean. About 2/3 of the sites are paved, the others either grass or a few gravel ones. Most sites have full or partial shade. Laurel Hill Lake has one of the finest beaches around. The lake is about 100 acres with head water supporting a trout stream. Good mix of hiking including the short hike to Jones Mill Dam. The weekends I see the campground only about 2/3 filled at most, during the week there might be 10 -15 campers there out of the 250 or so sites. Good place to relax... About 3 miles away is 7 Springs ski resort with many summer activities. I want to repeat that even being a rather hilly area, the sites are mostly level. Do not take the route that goes past 7 Springs Ski Resort unless you only have a tent or small pop-up trailer. Take route 31 and then Trent Road, go past the old main entrance of Laurel Hill to the entrance closer top the campground.

What campers say
Laurel Hill State Park offers scenic, well-maintained grounds with easy-to-moderate hiking (Pump House, Tram Road), a waterfall, dam viewpoints, and a sizable lake for canoeing, kayaking and fishing — rentals and a boat launch are available. Campgrounds feel wooded yet family-friendly; restroom and shower facilities are generally clean and parking is plentiful. Visitors appreciate picnic areas, a beach and accessible entry points. Tradeoffs: some secondary routes (Hemlock natural area) can be poorly marked, a few campsites are tight for larger tents, and beach sand is sometimes rocky; restrooms may be closed late in the evening. Overall, a varied park suited to families and day visitors.
