Holmes Bend Campground

We stayed here for two nights, July, 2023. Our price reflects the senior discount. We needed a spot to fill-in for a couple of nights so picked this for the price (love COEs!) and location. Our site was a long & mostly level pull-thru on a quiet loop. The sites are high in elevation compared to the lake - these are not lakefront like many of the COEs. Sites 24-84 are much more packed in - some on top of each other. Sites 92-94 might be the best, as well as 98, 99, 100 & 101. 102 was nice too, but faced away from the lake (not that you could see it much through the trees). Sites 103-106 are squished together. Loads of families, kids, kids on bikes, kids on scooters, people playing cornhole & having festive outdoor lighting (none of that bothers us). Just know it's not a quiet, peaceful lakeside campground. Check in is at 5:00 (which is insane), but we were super early and just went to our site. Later the host came by and dropped off our tags. Hosts were very nice! Bathhouse old, but once I figured out the hot water all good!

We were here over Memorial Day, so it was very busy. Level site (gravel) with electric only. (I believe there are some FHU sites in the park.). Dump station and fresh water available. We had an end site, so we had a nice view, but the folks next to us were literally two feet behind our rig and their view wasn’t so good.
Terrible cell service (Verizon) and only one TV station...great for unplugging- not great for working.
Decent shower house. Nice, paved roads. Plenty of trails to hike. Lake (with marina) and small swimming beach nearby.
Close to town for dining and shopping.
