Laurel Recreation Area on Rough River Lake has three separate campgrounds that run along side the road with the boatramp between the second and third areas.

In the very first campground the sites along the road to me are not good if you have kids or dogs due to road traffic.

The “wood” side sites are better in that you can set up a more private area for camp life. 

The second campground area is smaller with less sites. There is a day use area in between the first and second campgrounds with a short nature trail.

The third campground down is the largest and is adjacent to the day use beach area

There were no direct put ins at the first two campgrounds. All three campgrounds had the usual; shower house, picnic tables and fire rings.

The boat ramp is not very long and has limited parking, you will get the opportunity to practice your backing skills with the trailer if you use this one. 

This is a nice camping area but crowded and to use any of the recreation areas you will need to load up your vehicle to get there. The third campground does have some sites with put in possible but you will need to reserve ahead.
