The campground is very nice, clean and quiet. When we went there were a few campers but overall a nice visit. The challenge we had was the actual site. It says it can handle a 37 foot or so camper, which it can, but it won't give you any place to park your truck. When we arrived, I was very reluctant to park in the spot as it's very tight, not very wide. We had a 30 foot trailer and a F250. The site is on a narrow one way road with a ditch so when you're backing in, the truck has no choice but to go into the ditch some at the front. We almost wanted to not take the spot and ask for another option. Another challenge is since it's on a one way, narrow road, if someone else comes along, they can't drive around you while unhooking or hooking back up which happened. Very frustrating for everyone. After parking and settling it, it was easy to understand why these sites nearby were not taken. These sites are like parking on an island as each site drops off on their sides. Most likely veterans of the campground learned prior not to park there as the site and pictures don't do it real justice.
If you have a smaller camper or trailer, this site is probably more ideal. Again, information online and pictures don't help as much, but hopefully this review can. We will probably want to go back because the campground is nice, but we will definitely chose an easier spot for parking. Also, they prefer that you check in, when were arrived the attendant wasn't there. On our last day, someone from the campground told us we had to check in. As a courtesy, they could have had the papers with them. Instead I had to drive back to the front gate and get the papers. It's not big deal, but from a customer service standpoint, it's something they could help with on the spot since they took the time to tell us we needed to do that. Overall, great campground, choose your sites wisely.

Campground was clean as always! Sure would be great if utilities and water were put in loop D! That would help so much with availability and crowding!

It was a nice campground but needs LOTS of repair the edging was rotted and falling apart making a trip hazard around our tent and one leg of our table was rusted through . As many campers that were there some of the money should be invested into making it great again

We really enjoyed staying at Holmes Bend! The sites are nice, the trees are beautiful, the camp host was super nice, but would wish they would open up the whole campground! We enjoyed our time there.

we LOVE Holmes Bend.... everyone is very friendly. The campground is beautiful. it would be great if they could add more sites that have both Electric and Water. also, alot of the sites are pretty difficult to back into if you have a large camper. most everyone i have watched have the front end of their truck in the ditch and trying to avoid culverts. it's pretty tight.
