Hands down best camping spot. Well maintained and spaced out giving campers privacy. We were a walk away from Laurel lake with nice view. The Sheltowee hiking trails was beyond my expectations. Helpful staff. Highly recommend!

First night we had a bear in our camp. Scared my wife to death! Honestly scared me some too but she would not sleep in the tent after that. The bear marked my Jeep and stunk to the high heavens. Beautiful scenery couldn’t get a bite fishing for hours upon end at the lake which was pretty close to our campsite. The lake was approximately a quarter of a mile from the site. Everything was so relaxing and fun besides worrying about that bear coming back.

Love Holly Bay. Campsites have plenty of room and not close to the next campsite. Bath house is clean and easy excess to the lake

The campground was extremely clean, including the restrooms. We were very surprised of how beautiful the campsites were. We were in H06 and couldn't have been more pleased. The staff was more than accommodating and extremely friendly. We spoke to a few of the camp hosts and they were pleasant and made you feel very comfortable. We also spoke to the camp manager and she was also extremely kind and helpful.
We've already made reservations for the fall and can't wait to return.

Our family loved this campground. The park attendants were incredibly kind and helpful. The sites were well maintained, spacious, and relatively private. We stayed in the H loop and the lake access was easy enough via marked trails. The lake is absolutely beautiful and crystal clear. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
