About Holly Bay

Holly Bay, located two miles north of the Laurel River Dam, sits on the west side of Laurel River Lake. Visitors enjoy the campground for its proximity to the water and beautifully forested location. Plus, Holly Bay is ideal for activities like power boating, canoeing and fishing. The forest was named after Daniel Boone, a famous frontiersman and explorer who settled in Kentucky in the late 18th century.

Hadn’t been to Holly Bay in 2 years but it was still beautiful. Stayed in H17 and loved the site. Staff was very friendly and checked on us each evening. The site was very woodsy and quiet.

Holly Bay is always a great tenting event. Nice surroundings, showers and toilets. It's close to the sheltowee trail for hiking, too.

When we got there we were welcomed warmly at the gate, then went to our site to get setup. Well, we did, and it promptly started raining, then continued for 36 hours at varying intensities. All of the wood we bought got soaked, and so did most of our stuff. Once it stopped raining we had a great time. We got some dry firewood from the host, and some ice. The site was very private. We didn't get a lakefront site, but we were very close to a bathhouse, which was very convenient. Every time we come here we're very happy with the campground, and this was no exception.

could no wake zones be made in the lake in front of the campsites, switch to battery powered blowers, the noise from the gas ones permeate throughout the entire campground, rescind the 2 day res requirement on weekends, currently the dump station wait line takes up the whole morning

This is a beautiful area in a huge National Forest. The only thing negative was the yellow jackets constantly buzzing around seeking food and water due to unusually dry conditions. We were forced to eat indoors.

Very nice campground! We came for a weekend of kayaking on Laurel Lake. The electric/water campsites are large with picnic tables, a nice big fire ring, and posts to hang your lantern. The bathrooms and bath houses are clean and well maintained. There is someone who comes by in the evenings with firewood for sale if you need it. If you are bringing a boat, there is a nice boat ramp with good parking. The lake is beautiful and good for fishing. Definitely recommend this campground and the lake.
