Sites were large and beautifully maintained, with level pads, large tent pads, and plenty of space between neighboring sites.

Had a great time. We stayed on F4. Camp sites were spaced out nicely. Easy access to lake via short trails.
The bathrooms were gross. There was human feces in the shower one evening. As I realize cleanliness is only as good as the campers, I just felt like they could have been cleaner.
The only other item to note was the fact that the water access on our site had no spout or hose so when we turned it on, it shot straight up into the air which rendered it useless. It was inconvenient to have to go to other sites to request to use their water.
Overall, it was a decent campground w a friendly staff, on a beautiful lake.

Holly Bay never disappoints when we stay here. It is the most peaceful and calm campground we stay in. We love the relaxing and slow down pace.

Everything with the lake & water went well. However, our first night at campsite, there was a wild group next to us. The host needed to step-in, but was our first time & didn't know who or where they were. They came by the next morning & confronted the groups. They gave them their walking papers. We didn't do it, but the group blamed us for it & started a hole in us each time went by to the bathhouse. Everything else went fine & rest of our neighbors were super nice.
