About Holly Bay

Plus, Holly Bay is ideal for activities like power boating, canoeing and fishing.

We always enjoy Holly Bay campground. Our host Patty was delightful.
The one thing that would be great, is if they had certain sites that were only for long term campers, (2 weeks) it's always so hard to get a site for us retirees. All the weekends are booked, so it's hard to get a site, without having to reserve 6 months ahead of time.
Otherwise, we are very pleased. We stayed in H 12 it was a great site. Only problem was the table was in need to be replaced.
We absolutely will go again.

I love camping at Holly Bay.
My only issue is that there is a need to add another dump station. Most campers check out on Sunday and with only 1 dump station the wait is extremely long.

Nice campground with larger sites. Facilities are old, but well maintained.
Dump Station DESPERATELY needs to be upgraded! There is only 1 single sided Dump Station for 75+ RV sites. I would not want to have to wait for that single sided facility on a busy weekend.

Our reservation was ready when we arrived. The sight was clean. The restrooms and showers were not as clean as we have experienced in the past. We brought that to the attention of the host

Love that you can unload your boat and dock it at the shore! I did have a couple older females that worked at the entrance that seem a little bossy so it made my stay feel a little uncomfortable but I didn’t let them get to me and had a great time with the family!

We spent a Friday and Saturday night blissfully parked in site G8. It is one of the very few that has both 50 amp AND water. The sites are gravel, mostly level and are absolutely huge! We travel in a 35 foot fifth wheel and we had plenty of room. The sites are clean, include a picnic table a a few permanent lantern poles and a metal fire pit. You are completely surrounded by thick woods and can barely see your neighbor. I highly recommend this park.
