The campground was well maintained. The folks there were nice. Only complaints is the tiny limestone gravel pads and the sand for the playground. Both of these make for a messy RV and messy kids. But I would definitely go back to this campground.

Enjoyed my stay but wish the hosting policy hadn't changed. They are only at the front gate for 2 hrs a day (according to the sign) I didn't see them any at the gate. That tells me most anyone can come and go without being a camper. They need to go back to the paid host the I used to be able to talk to and ask questions at the front gate. They were very helpful in finding local facilities like storage units, places to eat, etc.....

Sure wish you still had a campground host that is more accessible. The host you had last year used to ride around and give the kids pop-cycles and sell pizza. Since it went all volunteer you hardly see them.

Love Holmes Bend one of my favorite camping destinations however I feel like having just volunteers is not effective with patrolling.

It was a nice week. The area was nice although the grass needed cutting. It's just one of our favorite places.
