We were on site H6. Wish we'd have known it was 2 tiered levels. The details didn't mention that. The bathrooms were clean but in the G loop showers the men's had one of 3 that was adjustable on the water temperature, the others were random. Otherwise, we were pleased with the campground and the staff were friendly & helpful! I would stay here again.

The sites were level with plenty of space, good drainage, & lots of trees all around. Nice, well-travelled trails in the area & swimming available as well. The showers are subpar, as the 'control' is just a button you push to get ~10 seconds of lukewarm water & there is very little space to keep your stuff dry. Despite that I found it to be a supremely relaxing atmosphere & it is near the top of my list for camping destinations.
Note to management: Upgrade the showers!!! You're so close to being the best!

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
