We spent 5 days at Holly Lake as a large extended family. They were wonderful to us! Our Campsites were close together and in walking distance to the bathhouse. Warm showers even on a 4th of July weekend! So many activities for the kids, it was great to hear them walk to the field and say 'Hi Bob!" as they greeted the gentleman who patiently worked with them. They looked forward to archery, bead stringing and hay rides. Took a hundred walks to the petting zoo and LOVED the huge inground pool. Can't wait for our next trip.

We camped at Holly Lake Campground the weekend of September 8, 2007. We would not recommend it to anyone. It is in desperate need of major repairs. Website and pictures are misleading. The staff not helpful or friendly, roads bumpy, bathhouse dirty, picnic tables unusable, flies attack as soon as you walk out the door. Perhaps if this campground only charged $20 a night, we wouldn't complain as much. But, at $52 a night, we would expect an exceptional camping experience. All in all, a miserable weekend!

The Holly Lake Campground has not seen any repairs or cleaning for many years, we had to repair a picnic bench so we could use it. The bathrooms are barely usable and the uninvited guest we had all day long (flies).

Friends of our family found Holly Lakes Campground while looking for another campground, the same old scene came into play it was getting dark, kids were hungry and tired from the drive ,( back then we all tent camped), they had just wanted to find a spot to set up and eat and crash out for the night...The following day they found a cute little diamond in the rough of a campground. Granted not many people expect everything to be 100% immaculate at a campgrounds near a sea shore ( sand everywhere), without paying the price $$. We started staying there in 1993 or 94 and then it was about 10.00 a night, which made a weekend getaway very easy to afford ... We went there every summer sometimes 3-4 weekends a month if $$ was plenty and we always had a great time. I never had any problems with staff, in fact I had them move us one time because we were surrounded by families with small screaming babies and we just couldn't stand it, and there was no problem at all with that ... It's a decent campground, nice staff, and the prices are pretty good, your in a nice section not on top of anything, but not too far away either.

Holly Lakes is clearly one of the worst campgrounds I've ever been to. (1) The staff was terribly rude. (2) The "restaurant" looked like it hasn't been cleaned in years (3) The "community room" consists of a beat up 30 year old couch and stacks of boxes floor to ceiling (4) Leave the sports car at home, because the huge potholes in the unpaved roads require a 4x4 (5) the playground consisted of a swing set on its side next to a huge pile of debris.

The bathhouses can be described in 3 words: Dirty, Disrepair, and Outdated. An earlier post from a seasonal camper blamed the transients for their condition...but these same transients are staying at campgrounds around the country and they all manage to keep the restrooms clean. I would also prefer more than a cheap shower curtain with hole in it to protect my privacy in the stall or in the shower.

Don't be misled. This campground is not close to the beach and the trip there includes miles of beach traffic. There are two other closer...nicer campgrounds.

We've stayed at a lot of campgrounds and generally prefer the more primitive places. However, this one is way below the bar.

It's clear that maintenance and facilities is not a priority, there isn't one part of the campground that's not in disrepair. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the priority was. There are other better choices at the beach.

We like camping at Holly Lake. I was looking for a campground last minute and every where else near the beach was booked. We were able to go there without a reservation and got a nice private site. It wasn't crowded, the showers had hot water (that's all I ask for, lol) Some of the permanent sites were a little bit scary, but all in all we had a good time and will go there again.

Holly Lake is a very nice campground. The sites are large and you can choose between open or wooded. The bathrooms are only as clean as the people that use them. We have been there for 5 years and have never had an issue with noise or traffic. In fact, it is the opposite. As far as the complaint that they don't rake the leaves, why should they, you are camping. If you don't want leaves, you should stay at a hotel. The wilderness is why you camp, isn't it?

Camping is what you make of it been their for 12 years, and let me tell you we no when it is a weekend they come in and trash the place then leave, come weekdays and you would love it best place to be in the summer.

The Holly Lake Campground was okay but it did have some problems. The bathrooms were nasty, and the campsites were buried in leaves that had fallen from the trees. They could have at least raked them up.
