The lady at the front check-in was very helpful and courteous.
Our site was convenient to a boat ramp. The site itself was clean when we arrived and very spacious, we will return.

Not a fan of the online reservations at all. Spots sat open all week long and nobody could reserve them because people reserved a whole week just to stay Friday-Sunday. The local people who want to take a spur of the moment camping trip canβt because first come first serve isnβt available except on a few spots which Iβve noticed are premium sites so double the money.

I have camped at Holly Bay for years, and this is the worst maintenance I have ever seen. The grounds needed mowed and weeded and the sites needed gravel. The bathrooms need updated badly as it is nearly impossible to wash your hands in the sinks because of the sink knobs. The showers aren't much better. However, the location of the campground can't be beat which is why I keep coming back. There are other campgrounds in the area now that have better amenities and are more up-to-date.

Big wooded sites with extremely happy and helpful staff. When I asked a question that office staff couldn't answer, this lovely lady checked with her manager late in the day and came to tell us at our campsite after she got off work! She certainly went above and beyond.
Only cons were the bathhouses could use a bit of paint and the water view sites don't have much waterview due to heavy undergrowth of plants. Nice park overall.

Well we didnβt get to go do you a blow out on our camper & we couldnβt find the size of tire we needed to get it back on the road. I tried calling the campground to cancel but they called me back two days later & told us to contact recreation to cancel and I spoke with someone online and they couldnβt help us. I never heard back!!

Nice large lakeside campsite. Really nice staff. Mostly quiet except for the noisy gas powered leaf blowers. Should switch to electric battery leaf blowers. No cell phone service on Tmobile.
