Always good camping at Holmes Bend. I wish they would consider putting in sewer sites. One problem we have experienced the last couple of times we have been there is the large number of skunks living in the main part of the campground. They need to be relocated to another location.

We really enjoyed here and loved all the shaded sites! Only thing that would make it a perfect stay is to have sewer at all trailer sites
