My family and I have been going here for 20 years and it is still our favorite place to spend time in the outdoors. Sites are always well kept and management is always making rounds to ensure shenanigans are kept to a minimum. Look forward to going back.

Very nice campground, well kept and the facilities were clean. Close to the lake where you could dock your boat also has a nice beach area.

This is our first camping trip annually and always camp at Holmes Bend. Love the quiet and cleanliness of the grounds.
Will be there 3 times this year.

We love Holmes Bend. Have been camping there for over 10 years. Really glad to see them adding more water hook-ups to sites. The only drawback to camping here is that there is no park internet service. The park is friendly and feels like home to us. It's just a short drive to Campbellsville where you'll find shopping & several choices for dining. Also, Columbia is just as close in the opposite direction. There's a beach area just down the road from the campground, along with boat dock, store & dining.
