Our adventure to Hollylake Campsites almost didn't start out very well, we arrived on Thursday 5-24-2006 at around 8:00pm only to find that all of the conveniently located check-in windows were closed. Luckily the employee who was living in the house attached to the store saw the 4 36 foot campers my group and I pulled up in and was nice enough to come out and check us in. However it only got worse from there. When we got to our sites they were literally woods, I mean leaves 10" deep, scrub trees about 16" tall and grass in the area that were clear about 2 feet high. You could tell that at some point in time these were campsites but not for a while. One of the unit with me actually had to put his truck in 4 wheel drive to make it through the leaves. It's a good thing we had 3 teen-age boys with us and we all carry rakes in our campers. After the boys raked for a while we realized my site had a trench running through it where the had just ran water lines through it to other area of the park but decided not to cover it back over with dirt. That would have been good for my 11 month old daughter just learning how to walk to find. We told the staff we were very disappointed with the conditions of our site and there comment to us was "we just paid someone to mow the grass out there they must have missed them sites, we will send someone out to check on it." Need less to say no one ever showed up. I wouldn't recommend anyone stay at this campground, at least not in the back area where we were at. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We visited during off season so we cannot rate the facilities. We had a site in the 3rd section the farthest from the store. there's no walking here in fact I'm not sure a golf cart could make a round trip. The signage to the campground was insufficant even in the day (we arrived just after dusk). The serveral outside walk up windows for check in are a good idea. Receiving directions and traveling 2 county/state roads to get to the 3rd campground section we approched a small sign pointing down a driveway this was the entrance. I stopped halfway in to ask a passerby if it was indeed the entrance as it looked very unaccomodating to RV's narrow, pot holes, gravel, dark, no signs, many leaning trees and branches. The roads within the campground were the worst I have had to manuver through. The sites were very large ours was large enough for 30' 5th, tow vehicle, awning as well as an additional vehicle and a boat. They have a very convenient snack bar and grill... go somewhere else!! I was so hungry I could have eaten road kill but neither my son or I couldn't finish their subs. Friendliness of staff average to above average. It is apparent the ampground is seasonal oriented as many in this area, next year for the Punkin Chunkin we may try somewhere else. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This would be the 12th year that I have camped at Holly Lake Campsites. I was very disappointed with the campground as a whole on this trip. Our security gate (in the back, secluded section approx. 2 miles from the office) was in the up position allowing whomever to gain access to campsites without being authorized. The swimming pool was closed regardless if the posted hours said it was open. The roads were severely rutted with holes deep enough that my tow had the muffler torn loose. I talked not only with the managers, but also the owner. The staff and owner only had excuses, not answers. We were told on one occasion that it "Isn't their problem". My kids couldn't play basketball because not only was the net missing, but also the hoop. The site that we reserved in January, turned out to be a seasonal site and we were given a small site that couldn't accommodate our motorhome. We had to move to a larger more expensive site and had to pay the extra because it was 50 amp. Again, nothing could be done about the extra cost. I will never again camp at this campground and I urge everyone to do the same. We camped here in a Motorhome.
