The campsite needs more gravel and needs cleaned of weeds. Its 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.

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 womens 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.

One of the most beautiful campgrounds weve been to. Very peaceful as well.

Have enjoyed camping at Holly Bay for many years. Its 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 usask 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!!!

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 its 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 thats not far to low income people that try to save up to go camping for a week or even a weekend its getting to where you cant go camping at holy bay cause of that reason an almost has me to the point of wanting to sale my camper cause cant use it anymore. Use to go to holy bay quite often but now its 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!!!!!!!!

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.
@JoyPC8882EEED6 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #A1
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 wasnt the normal one I usually use so dont 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 dont 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 wasnt 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.
@StacyB322AD890 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #E6
Very nice stop. Two things that could have made it better; a campsite map and a beachy area to swim.
@LeahM1AA5D4763 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #G3
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.
@Joseph2426DECC · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #D8
Campground was awesome but the marina was a nightmare.
@PaulaYEF9909F7 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #G6
Spacious clean campsites in the woods.
@MaryM8380528 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #G7
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.

Our stay at Holly Bay Campground was excellent. Clean sites and restrooms. The showers were good; nice hot water and plenty of pressure. The hosts were kind and helpful.
@KristenHD5F036 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #H18
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.
@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #H19
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. Wasnt close to our neighbors. Had some privacy.
@DonnaN4866605 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #G6
Our location G6 is a great location for kids. With the circle being at this location it helps to keep the kids near the camp location.
@RogerB3749935 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #D2
Very clean and private campsites. Plenty of shade. Great place for hiking, fishing, boating and just relaxing.
@PatrickM390922 · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #G9

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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.
