Our trip was good! Not particularly excited about the new attendants they are asking a lot of questions that are irrelevant because my reservation already has the answers. I have 2 vehicles every time they only give you one pass. None of their business I have it on my reservation. Never has any other attendant asked for drivers license. I just thought they were there to check us in. They make you feel like you’re a criminal. Other that that I love Holmes Bend but I’m afraid they are gonna cause people to not come camping.
