Holly Bay

been camping here for 30plus years and keep coming back to one of the best campgrounds in kentucky

We stayed at A1 for two weeks. We usually stay every year in the campground. When we got there the water spiked was leaking. I notified them immediately. They looked at it and said there was nothing they could do about it. So every time we went to the water or out we turned the water off. It stopped when it was off. It was coming out of the ground. It was a mess. The showers were nasty one was stopped up the last time I went in there. It wasn’t the normal one I usually use so don’t know how long it was stopped up.usually I see some kind of law enforcement go through almost daily. This year not one did I see in two weeks. The workers were very nice don’t know if it was just understaffed or what. I hope they fix the water leak And the weeds were not trimmed around the campsite as good as they usually are. Me and my family have 10 or 12 sites there I wasn’t the only one that noticed. Hoping for better weather really love it there. Tried to get a spot for Aug 1/2 but was booked.

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!!!!!!!!

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

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.

Campground was awesome but the marina was a nightmare.

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.

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

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.

Spacious clean campsites in the woods.
