Holly Bay

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.

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.

Lovely COE Park with large site spaced well apart.

This place exceeded my expectations. The camper spots were amazing, groomed and level. Had a good path down to our picnic table and fire pit area. Wasn’t close to our neighbors. Had some privacy.

It was a Beautiful campground. The campground host were all very nice. Love feeling like we were actually camping being in the wooded areas. Lots of trails, water views, the beach was just a short drive away. We visited Cumberland Falls while we were there it was only 30min drive.
