We love our annual trip to Laurel Lake. The most beautiful lake that remains unchanged since 1st coming in the late 80's. HollyBay campground staff and surroundings were great.

I loved this campground. The sites are spaced out enough that your neighbors are not on top of you but close enough not to feel eerily alone. We were able to set up our dome tent and a shelter so plenty of room at sites. Majority of the sites are flat which means worries sleeping on a hill.
The bathhouse was close to our site and was well maintained. Stocked and cleaned. The shower house was located in the same building as the bathrooms. Stalls had locked doors plus a bench. The only thing I disliked is no control of the water time and pushing a button literally every 5 seconds (I timed it) for water. I understand it is for conserving water just wished it was longer.
We didn’t hike any nearby trails but we did swim at the swim beach nearby. We loved it! Best way to cool down on hot days.

We rented a few different campsites. Each site was clean and spacious. The camp hosts came around with colored chalk for the kids. The kids were delighted.
They swam at a nearby beach and some paddle boarded, or kayaked.
It was a lovely place to Camp.

This is one of my top favorite places to camp. I come here 3-4 times each year. The sites are private, large and well equipped with a fire pit, picnic table and lantern poles. The bathhouse on the G loop was recently renovated and has a large sink for dishwashing in the women’s side. Some of the sites are multi-level with parking above the picnic table area. Check site descriptions if you need a site all on one level.

The campsite needs more gravel and needs cleaned of weeds. It’s apparent the entire campground is not being mowed on a regular basis. We have camped here for years and the upkeep is not the same. Very sad.

Have enjoyed camping at Holly Bay for many years. It’s a quiet campground at night, easy access to the water from our site in F. This year, I was highly disappointed in the lack of cleaning of the shower house. Was there for an entire week and it appeared that the shower stalls were never cleaned all week. In years past everything was cleaned thoroughly every day.

Everything was amazing! We pulled up to the office, no problems they knew exactly who we were and were ready for us. They were all friendly and helpful. Spoke to us every time they seen us…ask about our onions lol. (Inside joke) And a big shoutout to the Holly Bay Marina who we rented a boat from. They were also ready for us and extremely friendly. Will definitely be going bk! Loved it!!!
