Holly Bay

Lovely COE Park with large site spaced well apart.

I love Holly Bay, it’s our favorite campground and lake in the state. I do want to bring something to your attention that was really disappointing.

We are kayakers and we have always parked our truck on the side near the ramp. This year, I got a call when we were out saying we aren’t allowed to park down there without a trailer. Our only option was to walk all the way back to our campsite to park. This is discrimination and I pay the same amount for my site as the boaters. I feel it’s totally unfair and I think the policy needs to be revisited. I’d be happy to put on a different tag but the 20min walk to my campsite after being on the water all day was sad. This has never been a problem in years past. Please make a change.

Spacious clean campsites in the woods.

As always our stay at Holly Bay was exceptional. Helpful staff, a beautifully prepped site and gorgeous views! Our favorite place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Very nice stop. Two things that could have made it better; a campsite map and a beachy area to swim.

Your camp host for G loop Was awesome. My heart went out to them as there was an issue with trash pickup. The dumpster was overflowing for our first week there, the gate open and trash all over and the smell with the rain and heat was sickening. The host couple worked kevery morning picking it up and listening to complaints. They deserve a big pat on the back for the job they did.
My husband is handicapped and we went out on the pontoon with family, when I got back there were three missed calls for your offices complaining about where I was parked. I was parked in the first spot in the section for boat trailers. This was the only accessible parking space that my husband could safely get out of the techie and down to ramp. I was shocked that as a federal park there was no paved and designated handicap parking. There is designated parking at bath house, not at boat ramp.

Campground was awesome but the marina was a nightmare.

The tranquility of Holly Bay is absolutely perfect after a busy start to the summer. We loved just hanging out by the lake and doing some fishing and swimming.

Beautiful wooded campsite, clean bathrooms. We will definitely be revisiting!

The stay was good but having to reserve the site was a pain cause all the site get reserved like months ahead from people out of town and it makes it hard on locals that like to go for a weekend between work it’s about impossible for locals to get a camp site on weekends. They should have rules in place like they use to once your reservation date is here site should have something on it within a few hours or you lose your reservation. While I was there camp site next to me set empty for three days before anyone came to put anything on site that’s not far to low income people that try to save up to go camping for a week or even a weekend it’s getting to where you can’t go camping at holy bay cause of that reason an almost has me to the point of wanting to sale my camper cause can’t use it anymore. Use to go to holy bay quite often but now it’s almost impossible to find camp site there hope this letter might open some eyes an change some rules they should only be one or two loops that is reserved the rest should be first come first serve like it use to be an the rules should be like they use to be site has to be occupied within so many hours of your check in time or lose reservation!!!!!!!!
