Hurricane Campground

Stayed for 3 nights after visiting laurels caverns from up north - absolutely no reception so be sure to have everything squared away before entering the park! 

Extremely clean sites with designated tent areas. Showers are also warm one on each side of the campground. Just be sure to leave a 2 dollar payment at the station by the entrance.

Despite the 3 days of constant rain, we made the best of it and enjoyed the hell out of our stay!
