The sites were level with plenty of space, good drainage, & lots of trees all around. Nice, well-travelled trails in the area & swimming available as well. The showers are subpar, as the 'control' is just a button you push to get ~10 seconds of lukewarm water & there is very little space to keep your stuff dry. Despite that I found it to be a supremely relaxing atmosphere & it is near the top of my list for camping destinations.
Note to management: Upgrade the showers!!! You're so close to being the best!

We were on site H6. Wish we'd have known it was 2 tiered levels. The details didn't mention that. The bathrooms were clean but in the G loop showers the men's had one of 3 that was adjustable on the water temperature, the others were random. Otherwise, we were pleased with the campground and the staff were friendly & helpful! I would stay here again.

We love the beautiful woods and hiking trails around the area. It's also very quiet at night and wonderfully dark, if fellow campers don't have obnoxious "runway" lights!

I had a great experience camping at Holly Bay. Most sites are fairly private, well shaded, and well maintained. Jessica at check in was great. I had reserved online two different sites for two consecutive nights based on the location and availability. She suggested another site with an even better location where I could stay both nights and not have to move. It was E5 and was on a first come-first serve only loop. The site was very private and quiet and even had it's own (although fairly steep) path down to the lake. I rode my bike around the campground and could see and appreciate why she recommended the site changes, the sites I had reserved had other campers closer by. The path down to the lake intersects the Sheltowee Trace hiking trail which follows the Laurel Lake shoreline for miles. Mountain bikes are allowed on this section of the trail and it is an easy and scenic hike or ride.

Large, level, clean site. Plenty of hiking nearby. Bath houses are dated but plenty of warm water.

Very nice campground with large sites. The driveway pads are pretty level and make for easy set up.
