Before making reservations get all the facts regarding this park. It really isn't big rig friendly hardly makes it for small rigs. No sewer hook-up at your site. So if you have been traveling for several days and need need to dump there are two choices: 1. Go to your site and than pay $5.00 for the honey wagon. 2. Use the dump area. Easier said than done. You have to register, go into the park circle around and exit the park to the dump station. Now you are faced with re-entering the park. If you're not towing you can carefully back up and maneuver to re-enter. If you're towing you'll have to go out to the road, find an area to turn around and than re-enter the park. Once on your site you are faced with another decision, using a long hose to hook-up to water or a long electric cord to hook-up to shore power. You see when on your site your water is on the right side of the rig and at the front of the site and shore power is on the left side at the rear of the site. Nothing fancy about the site just grass & dirt. The biggest insult is that they charge $48.00 a night and if you want WiFi its $3.95 a day. So if you use the honey wagon + WiFi its almost $57.00. No wonder Rver's stay at Wal-Marts when parks like this rip you off. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park employees are all very friendly, but the price is very high, the "fun" activities are not included in the price, they are all extra. I was told WiFi was free, it was not, we were charged $3.95 a day for that and the service was terrible. The park was clean over all, but we had complained about a dog that yapped (barked) non stop for two hours, went to management, nothing was done. The sites are very small too. Over all, it was clean, not very quiet, parents allowed their kids to run loose (even young ones) without any supervision. It is just not worth the money. I rather go somewhere else where there is a little more space between sites and a little less chaos. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Restrooms and other facilities were impeccable. The facilities were extensive and there was lots of things to do. The playgrounds were all new and in excellent condition. On the downside, the roads were in need of attention and it was annoying that the 'free' internet connection was limited to 30 minutes per day. Being right next to Interstate 75 made road noise a consideration. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Our site was large and mostly wooded. There was no sewer or water hookup but water was available throughout the area. Roads were good, some dirt, some paved and sites were gravel. Sites were laid out in a way that made them very easy to back into. This was our first time in a State Park and would definitely return when we are in the area again. Bathrooms and showers were clean and adequate but old or I would have rated higher. With that said, there we no real negatives. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What ever you want, the Holly Recreation Area has it! If you want a secluded, heavily wooded lot, they have it. If you want sunshine and some large lots with campers not too far apart, they have it. There are lots of playground areas (really nice, clean, and well maintained too), lots of bike trails, hiking trails, a lake across the street for swimming, and so much more. We went this past weekend and really enjoyed it, we had an excellent time. Park Rangers are there all the time and don't bother you but there if you need them. The roads are paved, there are paved pads for you to park your rig on, there is electricity hookups and water faucets all over for those who need additional water. The campground is very clean, well groomed, and each site has a raised fire pit. Loved the nature there, we seen baby ground hogs running around, and lots of birds we have not seen before. The campground gets a 10 from us because it is: clean, private, well maintained, offers everything, and the staff are wonderful. Couldn't have asked for more, will go there again without a doubt. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great campground. Kind of rustic feeling. Roads were not paved. Bathrooms were far from campsites. Lake and swimming area across the road from campground. However, most sites were big and private. Trails were fun and well marked. You can walk to it from your campsite and either go on a short or long hike. Very quite, family friendly campground. We will be making this a place to go every fall. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
To stay here, loving children is a must! This CG is geared around the kids with activities available around the clock and impressive play structures. Most sites were grassy, shaded, and level. Be prepared to pay extra for the activities - the outdoor pool (heated by God) is free though! There is only one dump station so it may be a good idea to take them up on their Honey wagon service for $5. I rated the park at a seven because I felt for the price we paid we should have received more (sewer/cable/wireless/etc) and could use a bit of modernizing/fixing up. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

It was hard to believe it was a Yogi Bear park. Loud, drunk people swearing (turned out to be a seasonal). No owner or manager on site to help with problems. Seasonals got sites on hill while campers got put down below where it flooded with water up to top of tires. Road out even washed away! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a family campground with very few seasonals (I saw less than 10). They have lots of activities for kids all day long; however, some cost extra (2-5 dollars each child) so be prepared. They have two bathroom facilities, both are relatively clean however the one by the pool gets far more use but does not appear to get more cleaning so it was always the dirtier of the two. Sites are large with plenty of shade. The kids had a blast here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is geared for the family. Having 3 young children, many activities were provided to keep them entertained. The sites are fairly well-sized (some are smaller than others) and the staff is always available and courteous. Unfortunately, there is no full hook-up but a honey wagon service is available. The park is very clean and the facilities appear to be well taken care of. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Good overall experience. Lot had no shade but temperatures were not that bad for camping. Good facilities and activities. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
