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.

Everything about the stay was great. Loved the site and the fact that rv’s weren’t stacked on top of each other was really nice. The camp host in our section was great and very helpful.

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.

Beautiful area! Sites are spaced out and most are level and plenty of room. The bathhouse was about what you would expect, only complaint is that they could have been kept a little cleaner. Seen the tile shower being cleaned with paper towel…🤔

We love staying at Holly Bay. This visit most definitely did not disappoint. The camp host, James and Phylis’s were so so sweet and went above and beyond! The restrooms and showers were very clean
Thank you for our experience

The camp sites are very large and most can sit a trailer and boat, meaning two vehicles. We use the boat ramp and like that we can keep the boat docked on the sandy shore. Where else can you take a short drive to the sandy swimming beach by the dam. So many things to enjoy at this campground
