Holmes bend has been our favorite campground for many years. The playground is always well taken care of. Big sites. You can have your wooded site or a more sun exposed site. Small drive down to the water if your wanting to swim or visit marina for nice cooked meals. The host Jamie is amazing and welcoming. Always have had great neighbors that are friendly. We love Holmes bend.
