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

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!

Love this campground and this lake. We always have the most amazing time when we stay there.
The water is so clean and clear and the campground area usually has a calm lake area, great for kayaking.

I was on the campsite D7. The site was kind of small for a double, and also there is only 1 faucet for a water hookup. We had 2 trailers so we had to go buy a splitter so we could both get water. Otherwise, everything was fine.
