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.

We were already on our site in my bame and it was changing over to my husbands name and he came pounding and I mean puounding on our camper at 3:30 to see when my husband was going to register!!! He was taking a nap!!! The pounding scared me to death cause I thought someone was in trouble!!! It was very rude!!!

The park attendance at not very nice want to know your life history. They charge 5 dollars for my family to come in even though I put on reservations that I needed 4 parking passes.

Been camping here periodically for the last 30 years. Always a great experience in a beautiful setting. Campground host is very friendly and helpful. I goofed on our checkout day and she fixed it for me without stress. Recommend having extra hose for water supply as some sources are at the entrance of site. Bathhouses are old, but clean. Overall, Holmes Bend is one of my favorite campgrounds.
