Beautiful camp sites and friendly staff! One of the best camping experiences this year! Everyone who camps should make plans to go!

We had a site on the Lake and it was quiet and peaceful. Nice place to hike and just enjoy nature at its best.

the camp host at H10 was great. The camp sites were well run and the bathrooms very clean.

Beautiful campground with lots of space between sites. This was our second visit to this campground. We stayed in D loop the first time and H loop this time. We were close to the bathroom so it was very convenient and the hosts keep it very clean. We plan on being back next year and marked a couple of sites on the grounds map to try to reserve. We were in H3 this time and it was one of the smaller sites, which was fine for our setup but a big camper would be very cramped. This campground is a great place to bring the kids and their bicycles with lots of room to ride. There are walking trails around the perimeter of the grounds and access to the lake right odd the trail. There is a campground only boat ramp and fish cleaning house, which is very convenient. The campground doesn't have a store but it's right next to Holly Bay Marina if you need a few quick things, including bait or boat gas. It is situated between Corbin and London with about a 20 minute drive to either town. We highly recommend this campground.

Nice campground with lots of sites. Most sites are wooded with good visual barriers from neighbors. Many sites have an incline or decline in the driveway but they all seem to have a level paved pad at the end. No T-mobile cell service in the H loop.

The campground was very beautiful. The spot we had was a close ten minute walk to the lake edge. Each campsite was decently secluded. We were able to put our kayak in and enjoy the water. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were hot. I highly recommend Holly Bay to anyone looking for a campground in Daniel Boone National Forest!

Plenty of sites, space between them as well as foliage around most sites. Clean restrooms.We kayaked the lake. Camp hosts were very friendly and helpful, kept sites clean.
@RALPHP8E0E6703 · Camped on Sep 25, 2024 at Campsite #A6
Very clean. Well laid out. Peaceful. Nice lake with great views from some spots. Not all picnic table areas are on same level as campers so steps may be involved. Older but nice facilities. GPS gets a little lost coming in.
@DonaldW3403304 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #D7
One of the best campgrounds in the area!Easy boat ramp for kayaking and the water is clean and the area beautiful.
@MichaelF110976 · Camped on Sep 16, 2024 at Campsite #D5
Great hiking and kayaking area.
@EdW8451856 · Camped on Sep 16, 2024 at Campsite #G4
please consider retiring the noisy gas powered leaf blowers,battery pack blowers are much quieter. it is quite disturbing to hear that drone even from other distant loops, most times its the only non natural sound in the campground
@DavidF8210922 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #H6
The sites were fabulous! The scenery was off the charts! AND the camp hosts were super terrific!

I left a review about an hour ago. I did not see the email before that, that confirmed my refund request from a week ago. Thank you and please disregard that review.

Beautiful campground and awesome spot! The trail to the lake is steep, but worth it! The lake is so peaceful. The hiking trails are well maintained and fairly easy to traverse. The restrooms and shower houses were very clean. Our camp host, Gino, was one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Overall, we had a great experience at Holly Bay.
@DebbieS6293867 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #F3
Campground is well maintained. The campground hosts were extremely helpful and courteous. The bathrooms and showers were always clean and well kept. The camp sites are large and spaced out - several offer views of the lake and access to the trails around the lake. The trails are well maintained and easy to access.
@AshleyW8510592 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #G6
The workers were great, bathrooms are super clean. It was a great trip!
@Samanthac24979 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #F10
Bathrooms were very well kept. Beautiful park and lake. Great management.
@KarenK3878935 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #H6
our campsite was nice but as others noted notional cell and over the air tv, it was a bit of a hike to the bath house as well. unfortunately other campers chose to ignore the guidance parking vehicles on the grass and letting their kids plug up the toilets in the men's room. glad we were self contained
@LolaSCB96D3A5B · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #H17
One of the nicest and cleanest campgrounds ever! The little trails around were fun. My dog loved hiking near the water
@JoyceD3139495 · Camped on Jul 31, 2024 at Campsite #E2
Nice wooded sites and clean lake. Cumberland Falls is not too far
@LoryBEAF9BD621 · Camped on Jul 29, 2024 at Campsite #F6

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
