Overall, the campground and campsites are wonderful. My one consistent issue though is with the booking process. Only about a third of the sites have pictures available, and the specifications of the sites are inaccurate. For instance, on our last trip there, we booked and stayed in a site rated for double occupancy. It was long enough for two campers; however, the site indicated it was only long enough for 25 feet. They really need to improve their site details on the internet.

Great place to camp. Clean and comfortable, lots of space between sites, and sites are clean.

The new management at Holly Bay is absolutely TRAGIC!!!! The new staff members are unbelievably rude and disrespectful. Been going to Holly Bay all of my life and this new management has completely ruined this campsite. Itβs beyond sad what theyβre turning it into and itβs so upsetting. I wanted to raise my kids with the best experiences and make the best memories at Holly Bay just like I had as a child but I unfortunately will not be able to do so and will not return due to the disrespect they have shown us in the last few visits we have hadβ¦ I wish I could rate zero stars because thatβs how terrible the new management is!

Everything about the stay was great. Loved the site and the fact that rvβs werenβt stacked on top of each other was really nice. The camp host in our section was great and very helpful.

Holly Bay Campground is a beautiful and spacious campground. The sites are separated by trees and distance. The sites are always clean and ready for the next occupants and the bathrooms are very well kept. The last night of our stay, we had to listen to some very rowdy drunken campers nearby until up into the morning hours but the rest of the stay was quiet and peaceful. There are some trails along the lake and through the woods that are well-maintained and quiet. This was our 3rd stay at this campground and we are looking forward to many more stays there in the future.

When we arrived at Holly Bay at 2pm, the campers who were in our site had not left yet. Management had tried to reach them but was unsuccessful. The management personnel were very apologetic and offered us a different and much better site. We were very pleased with the professionalism used to solve this problem and highly recommend Holly Bay for a great camping experience.
