We have camped at Holly Bay for years. The sites desperately need more gravel and weedeating needs done around all sites as well. Theyβve needed this for years! No one appreciates a muddy campsite.

We love Holly Bay Campground! Boating on Laurel Lake with our kids and grandkids is a long standing summer event for us. Our host, Doug in loop H was exceptional helping us with some transportation issues we had. Always a wonderful experience; sites are well maintained, restrooms clean, staff members are friendly and helpful. Holly Bay is our favorite campground!

I would definitely stay at Holly Bay again. We are in the area once a year and now, we will look nowhere else. It was beautiful scenery, clean facilities, nice people and very helpful camp hosts. It was one of the best places we have stayed in a while.

We enjoyed our time at Holly bay. There is lots of separation between most campsite and like being surrounded by the trees and viewing the lake from our site. There is nice hiking in the campground and the surrounding area.
