Our stay was wonderful. Very large spacious and private sites that are kept pristine. Bath houses were excellent and the lake beautiful. We also enjoyed the trails. We were planning on driving out of the park to do some exploring but once we got there we decided there was no need. Also the vips were great!

Second stay at this campground and it was fantastic again. The site was awesome and rather secluded. Did some hiking around the campground which was very nice with well maintained and marked trails. Used the shower facilities which left a little to be desired (water was lukewarm at best) but it did the job. Looking forward to my next stay here.

Employees and volunteers friendly and always helpful. Facilities clean. Mostly I hiked the wonderful trails last visit as it was too cold to swim yet. Even my camping neighbors were the greatest. They came over to check on me and tell me bad weather was on the way. I camp with a dog in a teardrop so they were concerned about me and the wind. Storm was not as bad as weatherman made it out to be. Favorite campground in Kentucky!!!

Very nice campsite. Spacious and mostly private. Friendly campground host whose site is across from this one. Showers in G loop were decent with consistently hot water. Hiking trail from the campground had easy access from H loop. We plan to return to Holly Bay Campground.

Peaceful and quiet when we were there in mid March. The dark skies were more easily viewed at this time before the foliage was filled in. Campsites were spaced out very nicely and at least the one that we stayed on was level such that I didn't have to do anything other than back in. The bathrooms and showers were in need of improvement and repairs.

The camp hosts were phenomenal. They came around soon after we arrived and asked if we needed ice or firewood. As soon as a camper left, they appeared and raked the gravel β€œpatio” and removed ashes from the fire pit. The sites were neat and well spaced. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Water and electricity at every site. We will be back!
