The campsite needs more gravel and needs cleaned of weeds. It’s apparent the entire campground is not being mowed on a regular basis. We have camped here for years and the upkeep is not the same. Very sad.

Have enjoyed camping at Holly Bay for many years. It’s a quiet campground at night, easy access to the water from our site in F. This year, I was highly disappointed in the lack of cleaning of the shower house. Was there for an entire week and it appeared that the shower stalls were never cleaned all week. In years past everything was cleaned thoroughly every day.

Everything was amazing! We pulled up to the office, no problems they knew exactly who we were and were ready for us. They were all friendly and helpful. Spoke to us every time they seen us…ask about our onions lol. (Inside joke) And a big shoutout to the Holly Bay Marina who we rented a boat from. They were also ready for us and extremely friendly. Will definitely be going bk! Loved it!!!

We stayed at A1 for two weeks. We usually stay every year in the campground. When we got there the water spiked was leaking. I notified them immediately. They looked at it and said there was nothing they could do about it. So every time we went to the water or out we turned the water off. It stopped when it was off. It was coming out of the ground. It was a mess. The showers were nasty one was stopped up the last time I went in there. It wasn’t the normal one I usually use so don’t know how long it was stopped up.usually I see some kind of law enforcement go through almost daily. This year not one did I see in two weeks. The workers were very nice don’t know if it was just understaffed or what. I hope they fix the water leak And the weeds were not trimmed around the campsite as good as they usually are. Me and my family have 10 or 12 sites there I wasn’t the only one that noticed. Hoping for better weather really love it there. Tried to get a spot for Aug 1/2 but was booked.

The stay was good but having to reserve the site was a pain cause all the site get reserved like months ahead from people out of town and it makes it hard on locals that like to go for a weekend between work it’s about impossible for locals to get a camp site on weekends. They should have rules in place like they use to once your reservation date is here site should have something on it within a few hours or you lose your reservation. While I was there camp site next to me set empty for three days before anyone came to put anything on site that’s not far to low income people that try to save up to go camping for a week or even a weekend it’s getting to where you can’t go camping at holy bay cause of that reason an almost has me to the point of wanting to sale my camper cause can’t use it anymore. Use to go to holy bay quite often but now it’s almost impossible to find camp site there hope this letter might open some eyes an change some rules they should only be one or two loops that is reserved the rest should be first come first serve like it use to be an the rules should be like they use to be site has to be occupied within so many hours of your check in time or lose reservation!!!!!!!!

The tranquility of Holly Bay is absolutely perfect after a busy start to the summer. We loved just hanging out by the lake and doing some fishing and swimming.
