Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (40 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“They advertise a rail trails bike trail and a hiking trail around the lake, reason for the reservation. Unfortunately both were so over grown you couldn't use either one, very disappointed. ”

Aaron R 2 · Jul 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Absolutely beautiful campground! Pit toilets smelled better than most public restrooms. Grounds were well kept, park was quiet and lake was beautiful”

How far ahead to book Laura Lake Campground

For June weekends, book about 141 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 50 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (2,142 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
