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.

Very clean and private campsites. Plenty of shade. Great place for hiking, fishing, boating and just relaxing.

Camp host was amazing. We never needed anything, but saw the host regularly and always waved and friendly.

First time at this campground and we loved it, even with the tornado that occurred in London, Ky. The spaces are well maintained and generously spaced apart, staff and host were excellent. Highly recommend

Had a great time
@ChaseCC68147F6 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #H1
Fantastic campground. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The site was fantastic! I was at H1 so it was on the outer edge of the H loop right before G started. Secluded but well maintained. There is a nice trail to the bathroom in G loop which comes close-ish to the site (I could make out the tops of peoples heads going by) but otherwise you are pretty much by yourself. The site across from me (H19) had steps leading down to the picnic table and it was very secluded. Might consider that spot next time. I had great cell service with AT&T (almost a negative because I couldnt just put my phone away for the weekend). Would recommend Cumberland Falls State Park and VanHook Falls Trail for some hiking. Dollar General is about 20 minutes south and they had anything you might have forgotten to bring. I came in from OH and the GPS had me get off in London and take 192 in which was fine but a decent amount of winding turns. Doable in my 19 trailer but got a little annoying. Also I would not recommend going into London hooked up. Lots of road construction and I had a hard time finding a spot to park to use a restroom at Walmart. Went south through Corbin to leave and was much happier. Also a big Pilot one exit North on 75 to fill up if needed.

Like the new people running it this year. Very professional, helpful, have common sense and actually care about their jobs/campers

@CaraAC5D16E9E7 · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #A3
Very clean. Great RV sites. Trails are clearly marked and accessible. Nice stay
@GlennBEE215EAF · Camped on Apr 23, 2025 at Campsite #E6
We have camped at Holly Bay for 30+ years. It is our favorite place to camp. There does need to be some work done at some of the sites, gravel etc.
@RichardW654682 · Camped on Apr 23, 2025 at Campsite #H7
Campground was clean as well as restrooms. Very impressed! I'll be back again!
@LauraJ3772642 · Camped on Apr 15, 2025 at Campsite #H5
Very nice campground with wooded, well spaced sites. Each site is blown to remove leaves before your visit. Quiet. Beautiful lake.Super clean bathrooms and good showers.
@LeoM5099201 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #H9
Beautiful camp sites and friendly staff! One of the best camping experiences this year! Everyone who camps should make plans to go!
@JoeO9B962C20DF · Camped on Oct 15, 2024 at Campsite #H7
We had a site on the Lake and it was quiet and peaceful. Nice place to hike and just enjoy nature at its best.
@AshleyL4614567 · Camped on Oct 11, 2024 at Campsite #H9
the camp host at H10 was great. The camp sites were well run and the bathrooms very clean.
@ErnestH3875874 · Camped on Oct 10, 2024 at Campsite #H3
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.
@CathyG8730712 · Camped on Oct 7, 2024 at Campsite #H12
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.
@JennfierW7DB16 · Camped on Oct 4, 2024 at Campsite #D10
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!
@RichardT729403 · Camped on Sep 29, 2024 at Campsite #G7
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.

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.
