Stunning gorgeous campground! Each site has a tremendous amount of room so you never feel crowded. Water and electric, gorgeous lake and grounds, will absolutely stay there again! The only reason I did not rate it as excellent is because the bathrooms are falling apart and kind of gross and the kitty-litter gravel at the campsites makes tent camping pretty dusty and dirty.

Loved our site H19! Very spacious and wooded. Only half hour to Cumberland Falls State Park. No camp store but marina is close by. Loved the lantern poles. Plenty of room for our 34 foot trailer.

Camp hosts and staff are a pleasure to work with. Many of the picnic tables have been replaced with new tables this year! The campsites and bathrooms are kept clean.

Nice large lakeside campsite. Really nice staff. Mostly quiet except for the noisy gas powered leaf blowers. Should switch to electric battery leaf blowers. No cell phone service on Tmobile.

Big wooded sites with extremely happy and helpful staff. When I asked a question that office staff couldn't answer, this lovely lady checked with her manager late in the day and came to tell us at our campsite after she got off work! She certainly went above and beyond.
Only cons were the bathhouses could use a bit of paint and the water view sites don't have much waterview due to heavy undergrowth of plants. Nice park overall.

Well we didn’t get to go do you a blow out on our camper & we couldn’t find the size of tire we needed to get it back on the road. I tried calling the campground to cancel but they called me back two days later & told us to contact recreation to cancel and I spoke with someone online and they couldn’t help us. I never heard back!!

I have camped at Holly Bay for years, and this is the worst maintenance I have ever seen. The grounds needed mowed and weeded and the sites needed gravel. The bathrooms need updated badly as it is nearly impossible to wash your hands in the sinks because of the sink knobs. The showers aren't much better. However, the location of the campground can't be beat which is why I keep coming back. There are other campgrounds in the area now that have better amenities and are more up-to-date.
