So we was in site 52 for 4 days , Beautiful campground, Host were very friendly!
My 120v plug wasn’t working when I arrived, I had to use power from my friends site 55, I told camp host my issue, the gfi plug was tripped and wouldn’t reset , they come and put a new gfi plug in , but didn’t plug back up my camper! When we returned back my camper was 91 degrees inside! I was very angry, I have a 13 year old yorkie in there which is our child, he was very hot. This was very upsetting to me. If something was to happen to my dog , I’m not sure what I would have done , that was my only issue with staying there also the plug didn’t work when they put new one in

Lovely campground, and the trail was beautiful. The camp host was very welcoming and helpful. We were there only one night, which happened to be Saturday, and it was very busy.

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!
