Great place to enjoy the outdoors
Submitted by: cinmax
My boyfriend and I went on a camping trip up to the Laurel Highlands. We stayed at Benner’s Meadow Run Campground. This was the perfect place to sit back, build a fire and enjoy. There was plenty to do in the area such as horse back riding and exploring the numerous trails or adventurous activities at Ohiopyle State Park. We made the right choice on picking this location. There were lots of fun things to do and plenty of time to relax
