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.

Sites are roomy & shaded. Woods are full of poison ivy so come prepared. The lake is clean & beautiful but BUSY on summer weekends.

Consistently a beautiful campground. Clean, well maintained, lots of shade. Local presence of law enforcement, guard shack is always attended. No complaints.

We absolutely love Holly Bay and Laurel Lake! We try to camp 2-3 times per year and love that their are water views from the campsite! This last trip we had some issues with our camper electricity and the campground hosts were amazing! They saw our struggle and stopped in to help. They went above and beyond to help us troubleshoot the issue and were so kind and friendly!
