Camping at the Laughery Valley Campground
We want to inform our valued members and visitors that effective immediately we will charge sales tax separately from the overall prices of camping and other products. While we understand that this may come as an inconvenience to some of you who are used to us covering the sales tax in overall pricing, we want to assure you that this change is necessary to comply with the tax laws in our state. It is essential to be transparent about this change; we hope you understand. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
