Getting Outdoors
Laurel Lake is the most popular feature of Erving State Forest. The lake got its name because of the blooming mountain laurel flowers that surround it in spring. Anglers often come here during the warmer months to catch largemouth bass, brook trout, rainbow trout, yellow perch, and bluegill. Laurel Lake has a small boat ramp next to the campground. Visitors who go camping at Erving State Forest and have a motorboat with them may use it to launch the vessel into the water. Additionally, there is a small beach by the lake. Swimmers and sunbathers frequent it. The temperature of the water is a bit cold sometimes, but it feels pleasant when the weather is warm.

Tom and Melissa were fantastic hosts - very communicable with quick responses. They even texted to check in with us once over the weekend to ensure we were satisfied and well equipped. The camper was clean and comfy - absolutely loved the outdoor kitchen and the kiddos enjoyed their own bunkhouse room! Beautiful camper leading to a perfect camping weekend with friends and family.

It was a great experience for my family and when things didn’t go exactly right our host Tara helped us along the way and made everything so simple! I highly recommend using her RV as went to Canada and back with no major issues at all and this was my first time driving an RV.
