Laurel Springs is a borough in Camden County, in the Philadelphia-Camden metro area. It is about 14 miles from the Walt Whitman Bridge that connects Philadelphia to New Jersey. Its main roads were once the only way from Philadelphia to the shore and many people stopped and stayed in Laurel Springs instead of continuing on south. It has a population around 2,000 and covers an area of 0.5 miles, all of which is land. Tree-shaded neighborhoods provide a quiet, suburban lifestyle in close proximity to Philadelphia's world-class amenities and leading employers. Multi-family developments in this area include condominiums and townhomes. Historic sites, quaint districts, revitalization activity, and community pride mark this area. In addition to local recreational amenities, Laurel Springs lies on the southern border of Clementon Amusement Park and Splash World Water Park.
