Laurel Hill State Park Campground

I'm a huge fan of this park. I came on October 1, and the leaves were just starting to change color. I think that, had I come in the middle of summer, I would not have been so happy with how close the other campsites are. If it was more crowded, I would have given it a lower rating. Everything else is great! There are beautiful hiking trails, a lake with swimming/boating/fishing, many small streams, a pretty waterfall, and gorgeous trees everywhere.

Beautiful area, nice natural features, great hiking and biking

This area is one of the nicest areas in southwestern PA near Pittsburgh.  Ohiopyle and the Laurel Highlands both have lots of hiking, biking, and boating (canoeing / kayaking) options, and it's an especially beautiful area to visit in the fall.  Laurel Hill specifically has a pretty large campground area with the standard site options, bathrooms with showers, and even a few different playgrounds.  From the campground, you can walk to the Jones Mill Run Dam (built by the CCC) for a cool photo opp or hike the short Hemlock Trail to see some old growth forests.  The Laurel Hill Creek and Lake are also within walking distance for fishing, trying to see salamanders, turtles, snakes, etc.  Lots to do with the family.

Great campground with everything you need near Ohiopyle and Laurel Highlands

We booked this state park last minute to go  away for memorial day weekend. We were not sure what to expect but were  pleasantly Surprise. It's a beautiful park with hundreds of campsites and amazing lake and huge swimming beach area bike rentals boat rentals hiking trails and you can even see some very  Old groupcamping cabins. They even have some very adorable cottages for rent.

Huge state park 

My boyfriend and I love this place so much, as soon as we came back from a 2 night weekend stay, we booked a week long trip for the fall. Unless you are in the pet camping area, the whole place is very wooded, which we like the feel of. However, tent campers beware, the sites are very very small, and sometimes you’re almost sharing this small space with your neighbor. Great if you have an RV to sleep in, but we like to tent! There are a few larger spots to get 1 large tent in, or a few medium to small ones. I would recommend scouting the campsite before your trip and picking your spot/circling your favorite spots on the map before you book your trip. Bathrooms are clean, have showers, and all the running plumbing - even soap to wash your hands! They sell firewood in bundles for $5 and bags of ice for $2\. Plus they have a gift shop for any forgotten essentials. The nearby town is cute with lots of little markets, restaurants and a family fun center, called Caddie Shack. I’d recommend the “famous smorgasbord” at The Oakhurst Tea Room nearby. There’s is a swimming area/beach across from the campground, and Ohiopyle is nearby for lots of outdoor and river activities. Also nearby is a local bike trail that is very wooded and takes you to the swimming area - love it.

Very wooded. Small sites for tents.

Laurel Hill State Park

Awesome park, clean beaches awesome waterfall nearby and plenty of stuff to do

Awesome park

Spent one night here midweek in late May. Most campsites were unoccupied, so very quiet. Site 172 is right along a babbling brook. Showers were hot and free. Everything was very well maintained. The nearby small lake has a large sandy beach and beautiful views. Would have been nice for paddling around if we'd had more time. No Verizon signal on our phones, but our mobile router had 4G data.

Quiet and well maintained

August 2020 Stay

  

We camped for 1 night.  We chose site 102 because it looked decent in the picture and seemed a little apart and more private than other areas.  Unfortunately, it was not great for tent camping as there wasn't really a spot to set up our 4-person tent.  We squeezed it in by the fire pit, but if we had wanted to use the fire pit it would have been a fire hazard.  Elsewhere in the site it was rocky or uneven ground.

  

Looking around the rest of the campground, the loop up near the cabins was a typical RV area with sites lined up with little privacy in between.  I would look at the other loops for our next tent-camping visit.

  

We were hoping to do some hiking in the morning but got rained out.  However the trails looked nice and we hope to be back soon.

Forested State Park in the Laurel Highlands

This was our first trip here. I booked online after looking at the pictures of multiple sites on the website. The pictures on the site do them no justice in terms of size. It was very comfortable with having a 9 person tent, a screened in tent, a truck, the blackstone and cooking table, the picnic table plus 2 dogs.

Staff at the gift shop was very friendly and helpful. The campground was close to many outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking/biking trails, the lake beach, and dog trails.

It was pretty crowded for the camper sites and there were a lot of children so it's certainly a family friendly place. There was even a little playground for the kids.

The bathrooms were pretty clean and well maintained which is always a plus!

We will be back

A solid place to camp.  Nice temperatures for June. A nice little beach for the kids to swim at. Self service ice and wood. Bring exact cash as the the contact station is only open Thursday, Friday, Saturday.  Bathrooms are old but cleaned daily, water was hot so no complaints.  Later check out was a nice bonus

Some of the sites are quite small and right on top of others. Some like ours were significantly larger. The pet loop was essentially a field with trees around it. The none pet loop was in the trees and so you sometimes had more space and sometimes were right beside you. 

The no pet loop essentially cleared out after the weekend and we had tons of space to run around. 

I wish more hikes started from the campground. But there was a gravel trail that connected to most of them. 

Quiet and peaceful 

Beautiful , large state park. Not crowded. Most of the sites are shaded. Bathrooms in the campground need updating, but the ones by the beach are newer &amp; clean . Only 3 min walk from our camp site( 171) to the beach, using a wide,grass path that starts behind site 132. There was no phone signal in the campground but you have Wi-Fi in the beach area. Also there is a concession stand with ice cream &amp; food at the beach.
