Made my reservation for Holly Bay in February, stayed at Holly Bay for Memorial Day and Forth of July without issue. Showed up for my reservation on Labor Day and was told I was only allowed to have 1 boat trailer per site, which was NOT stated on the website as a restriction. Vista Recreation staff on site was rude about this new enforcement and only offered to sell us another site for us to get a second boat pass. The day before I arrived I received a text from camp staff that stated I check-in time but didnt include the new enforcement of a rule I have yet to find other than on a paper they printed at the entrance shack. I drove over 4 hours without any notice of any rule enforcement changes and was greeted by rude staff. This experience was horrible and USFS needs to seriously reconsider using Vista Recreation as campground hosts. At one point during our terrible check-in we were told by Vista staff that perhaps we needed to go somewhere else. How is this aligned with the USFS motto of Caring for the land and serving the people? Holly Bay used to be such a wonderful campground to stay at prior to the USFS getting low bid contractors to run the sites that dont value the people trying to enjoy nature as intended. I will continue to visit Holly Bay as it holds a special place in my heart and countless memories with my family, but if USFS doesnt get the correct contractors in place I will unfortunately have to look elsewhere for places that better serve the people.

One of the best campgrounds in the area!Easy boat ramp for kayaking and the water is clean and the area beautiful.

I was on the campsite D7. The site was kind of small for a double, and also there is only 1 faucet for a water hookup. We had 2 trailers so we had to go buy a splitter so we could both get water. Otherwise, everything was fine.

Laurel Lake is magnificent and the campground is nice with many trails leading to the lake. For the most part, the grounds are kept clean and the spots are nice and mostly surrounded by trees for great shade. The bathhouses however...are disgusting. Mold is so thick in the showers that I felt dirtier after I showered than before I went in. Hair is piled up in all of the drains. It is truly disgusting. The bathrooms get checked numerous times a day according to the checklist hanging on the door, but about as far as they clean is making sure the trash is taken out and toilet paper restocked. We were there 5 nights and showered multiple times. The same piles of hair and other trash and dead bugs laid in the corners of the shower stalls all week. I have pictures I’d love to share with management of interested.
