We had the best time staying at Holmes Bend for 5 nights! The volunteers that run the campground were so friendly and everyone around us was also! We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Beautiful Campground. Loved the campsites especially with the gravel and railroad ties to eliminate mud. The shower houses had quite a bit to be desired and could definitely use an update. Other than that a very good experience and would go back sometime.

Very nice campground. Spacious, shaded sites, showers adequate but could use updating. Drawback-no on-site water hookups!

Campground was clean but needed to be mowed. We never saw any cleaning crews the week we were there. It would be helpful too if they would put in a Wi-Fi network for the campground.

There were so many cars, trucks, boats, trailers, golf carts!!! People everywhere. The ladies bathhouse closed. Lots of big groups getting together. If there are rules for number of people and vehicles at a campsite, they should be enforced.
