Loved this campground. Sites were very large and very well spaced out. No close neighbors at all even on the weekend.

We have been camping at Holly Bay for close to 35 years. No need to say how much we like it there. Our past stay was wonderful!!! There are many places to visit while there. Cumberland Falls is very close, the 1st Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant is in London/Corbin, Levi Jackson State Park is close also. At Holly Bay there are many trails to hike, most go around Laurel Lake, but OH the sites you can see. Just sitting around the camp fire in the evening is so relaxing. This is our favorite place to camp!! Enjoy!!!

Nice campground, with large sites. Good privacy. Large lake to explore. Loop F is closest to the water.

Each site is clean and roomy. The atmosphere is quiet with beautiful views of the lake and wonderful trails to walk.
My only complaints are that there is no playground for the kids. We had terrible internet service, wireless, It would be great to pick up Appalachian Wireless.
