Beautiful campsites! Stayed in #5 which overlooks the lake! Only for smaller rvs, you wont be able to turn. But only 1 tv station, and no wi fi signal at all. Clean shower house. Beautiful area!

If you arrive when no one happens to be in the entrance building, go directly to one of the camp host sites. I wandered around looking for the drop box to pay for an open site and they don't exist, even though the signs posted said that was the process. The camp hosts were amazingly friendly and helpful. Wonderful people. I hiked Vanhook Falls and enjoyed it thoroughly!

We had an amazing week camping at G5 in Holly Bay. Holly Bay is a very well kept park. Clean and quiet. Our site was large and by the water. We enjoyed nature and the occasional boat passing by, along with hikers on their way to their destinations. Our hosts were very helpful with their knowledge of Holly Bay and surrounding areas. Our Hosts, Walt and Deborah, were truly into keeping up with the daily routine delegated to Campground Hosts. They enjoy what they do, their hearts are into it, it's not just a job for them. We already have reservations to return back to Holly Bay in September 2022. We spent our week reflecting on nature and just chilling out. Not many other campers out there that week, but it's still early. Time well spent, and we left knowing we'll return soon!

Getting there in a larger Class A motor home towing a car was a bit challenging with narrow country roads with lots of slow to 25 mph but it is worth it. Beautiful campground , so clean with super friendly campground staff.

Nice campground with clean restrooms. We were happy to visit on the opening weekend of the season.
Our major disappointment was the lack of potable water at the campsite. The water looked like milk, even after we ran the tap for 30 minutes. We were not going to risk drinking disinfectant!
