Our night at Holly Bay Campground was to be our last night of a 6 1/2 week cross-countries (US & Canada) adventure, and we loved the site and the area so much that we extended our stay for one more night. We were anxious to get home, but the peacefulness and beauty of the campground enticed us to spend another day. Loved it!

We have been camping at Holly Bay since our girls were small. Now we are camping with grand children. This is the only camping area that we like. We enjoy the privacy. We do not like camping side by side with people. The facilities are wonderful. And since we like to fish, we enjoy being on the lake. The grounds are always well maintained and the hosts are very friendly and helpful.

We were right by the water's edge and could fish the whole time we were there. Hosts we're most generous with tips about yellow jackets and how to keep them from your site.

We traveled from Ohio and spent 3 nights at this campground and plan to return in the future. The campsites offer great privacy and nice facilities. The sites are spacious and well placed into the wooded areas. The nice lake and hiking trails are an added bonus to this park and campground.

We don’t want to spread the word too much! It’s hard enough to get a camping spot as it is.

A perfect get-away in every way. Excellent sites with views of the lake and easy access to trails (including the Sheltowee Trace!). Laurel Lake provides many pleasures including my favorite, swimming. We come twice a year, but I wouldn't hesitate to go more often if time permits.

Only there for one night. The site and campground in general were great! Approximately an hour after arriving the electric pedestal overheated and we lost power for the night. Luckily the temperatures were moderate so we had no need of AC and we ran refrigerator on gas. Notified the gate attendant in the AM while leaving. He explained that issue was not unusual and he would deal with it. Hope they get electrical updated.
