Holly Bay was just as pleasant as always! Staff is very caring and helpful! Campsites, bath houses, and trails were very well kept! This campground is our favorite place to go! We get the same kind of service from the campground staff every time regardless if we are doing a pull in or walk in site!

My wife and I have traveled many places, both state and federal parks, nation forests, private campgrounds etc - easily one of the nicest we have been to. We stayed a D-1 and the view was 10/10, we werenβt packed even remotely near the neighbor and it was level. Be aware they donβt take card payment (as of 4/2022) and that was the closest thing to a problem we had. The camp hosts were all great and really fast for what we needed, which was buying more wood. 10/10

Very pleasant camping sites, enough vegetation between units to give a sense of being in nature. Everything about Holly Bay is wonderful, especially the people who work there. BUT, the showers need work.

We have been going to Holly Bay since 1995. It is my favorite place to go. The camp sites are separated by 20-30 feet; they are clean and well maintained by the hosts. Each site has a fire pit and lantern poles. There are several sites that are lake view and many more that have easy lake access. There are miles of walking trails (or Biking) with lots of natural beauty no matter what season you visit. I have had a little problem getting a campsite due to reservations going quickly.

Great campsites. Lots of privacy and wooded areas. Hosts were super friendly. Campgrounds & bathrooms very clean. Our site backed up to Laurel Lake where you can dock your boat and leave overnight. Sheltowee trail runs through campgrounds which is beautiful and great for hiking with the family & pets.
