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.

The only issue with Holly Bay is electric bikes and motorcycles even though on every billboard throughout the campground, is a sign saying they are not, including golf carts.

Holly Bay is a very wooded campground. We had a view of the lake through the trees. Out site was great for our 30 ft RV and Jeep, with parking on one level and a large gravel patio with picnic table and fire pit a few steps down from the parking pad. Our camp hosts were polite and helpful. The campground has overflow parking that was being used for several boat trailers. The dump station is easy to get in and out. The campground is about half an hour from London or Corbin, KY.

Campground was beautiful, sites are awesome, bath room and bath houses clean. My issue with the place was this. I stayed on A12. Someone in tent camping back in J or H couldn't tell ran a generator ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT the entire weekend we stayed. Y'all really need to have a no generator rule. We probably won't be back because of this. I come to camp to get away from that kind of stuff. It was a long crappy weekend to say the least.

We loved our stay at Holly Bay. The sites for our travel trailer were flat and the picnic area below was large. We could only barely see one other campsite so it truly felt isolated. Staff was friendly and helpful with our questions.
