Very nice campground with wooded, well spaced sites. Each site is blown to remove leaves before your visit. Quiet. Beautiful lake.
Super clean bathrooms and good showers.

Beautiful campground with lots of space between sites. This was our second visit to this campground. We stayed in D loop the first time and H loop this time. We were close to the bathroom so it was very convenient and the hosts keep it very clean. We plan on being back next year and marked a couple of sites on the grounds map to try to reserve. We were in H3 this time and it was one of the smaller sites, which was fine for our setup but a big camper would be very cramped. This campground is a great place to bring the kids and their bicycles with lots of room to ride. There are walking trails around the perimeter of the grounds and access to the lake right odd the trail. There is a campground only boat ramp and fish cleaning house, which is very convenient. The campground doesn't have a store but it's right next to Holly Bay Marina if you need a few quick things, including bait or boat gas. It is situated between Corbin and London with about a 20 minute drive to either town. We highly recommend this campground.

Nice campground with lots of sites. Most sites are wooded with good visual barriers from neighbors. Many sites have an incline or decline in the driveway but they all seem to have a level paved pad at the end. No T-mobile cell service in the H loop.

The campground was very beautiful. The spot we had was a close ten minute walk to the lake edge. Each campsite was decently secluded. We were able to put our kayak in and enjoy the water. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were hot. I highly recommend Holly Bay to anyone looking for a campground in Daniel Boone National Forest!

Very clean. Well laid out. Peaceful. Nice lake with great views from some spots. Not all picnic table areas are on same level as campers so steps may be involved. Older but nice facilities. GPS gets a little lost coming in.
