The last several visits to the camp ground were a bit of a headache. The 50 amp feeds in the "C" loop sites 44 thru 85 are experiencing a voltage drop on one of the feed legs causing our circuit protector to constantly trip shutting power off to camper, Had voltage checked and one of the feeds to the 50 amp plug was dropping voltage to 100 to 105 volts which is NOT acceptable. This needs to be fixed ASAP because they are asking us to not use the protectors and just plug straight in outlet which could damage the electronics on the newer campers being built today as for the older campers which use 50 amps could damage there equipment and also in older campers putting a strain on equipment and wiring could cause fire an or injury. They told me that they replaced the breaker panel and breakers and that fixed the problem.... That is not true, that did not and will not correct a voltage drop problem, still dropping voltage on one leg. Fix this problem ASAP before anymore damage or an injury occurs. Thank You, and I do love this camp ground been camping here for several years and with more and more 50 amp campers you need to upgrade the electrical feeds.......

The picnic table was sunken in the ground making it very low and uncomfortable to sit at. This is site 28. Is it possible to dig it out?

Love Holmes Bend Campground. Great family place. One thing I would recommend is to keep loop D and E open year round. People love to camp and it’s only open fro Memorial Day to Labor Day. More people would get to camp.
