About Holly Bay

Overview

Holly Bay, located two miles north of the Laurel River Dam, sits on the west side of Laurel River Lake. Visitors enjoy the campground for its proximity to the water and beautifully forested location. Plus, Holly Bay is ideal for activities like power boating, canoeing and fishing.

The forest was named after Daniel Boone, a famous frontiersman and explorer who settled in Kentucky in the late 18th century.

Recreation

Boating and water activities are a favorite among campers of all ages. For the convenience and safety of our guests, a private boat ramp is located within the campground and is available exclusively for registered camping guestsβ€”there is no public access. Anglers will enjoy fishing in Laurel River Lake, which is well known for its healthy populations of bass, trout, crappie, and bluegill, making it a great spot for both experienced fishermen and families introducing children to fishing. A public-use swimming beach is located just a couple of miles away and is available at no cost.

Guests who enjoy hiking can explore the 4.2-mile Sheltowee Trace Trail, which begins near the campground and leads to the dam, offering a scenic and family-friendly way to experience the natural beauty of the area.

Recreation Sites offer:

Standard Electric Campsite (Overnight Use) - Includes electric and water hookups for a comfortable overnight stay.

Primitive Campsites - (No Electric or Water Hookups) for a peaceful simple camping experience.

Facilities

The campground features both single- and double-family campsites, with select sites offering 20-, 30-, or 50-amp electric hookups. Several campsites provide scenic views overlooking the lake, creating a relaxing and picturesque setting for guests.

Campers have access to modern amenities, including flush toilets (with one accessible facility), two shower houses, potable drinking water, and a convenient dump station. Firewood and ice are also available for purchase.

Natural Features

Most campsites are nestled among a beautiful mix of hardwood trees, offering shade in the summer and picture-perfect colors during the autumn season. The Laurel River Lake spans 5,600 acres of deep, clear water, with 192 miles of scenic, cliff-lined shoreline to explore and enjoy. Rolling hills from the Appalachian foothills surround the lake, creating a peaceful and memorable backdrop for family adventures, relaxation, and time spent together in nature.

FAQ

How do I get a reservation at Holly Bay?

Campsite Sniper has also detected 322 site openings here in the last 90 days, so further dates may appear. Pick a site on the map to see its calendar, or set a free Campsite Sniper alert. You complete the reservation yourself on Recreation.gov.

Does Campsite Sniper book this campground for me?

No. Campsite Sniper sends alerts and direct Recreation.gov links. It never books, pays for, holds, hoards, or resells reservations.

How current is this availability data?

Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes. This facility's data last changed at Nov 2, 2026 18:20 UTC; an older timestamp means nothing has changed since that time, not that checking stopped. Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.

How often do new openings appear at Holly Bay?

Campsite Sniper detected 322 site-date openings here over the last 90 days, none in the last 7. A free alert watches around the clock and pings you the moment one appears.

Can I get a multi-night stay at Holly Bay?

76 three-night openings are showing, counting only runs where the SAME site is free for all three nights. The soonest starts Mar 26, 2027 at site 11. Confirm and book on Recreation.gov.

Which sites at Holly Bay fit a 35-foot RV?

49 of the 70 sites that support RV analysis have a recorded maximum of 35 ft or more; the longest recorded is 90 ft.

Which month has the most availability at Holly Bay?

April 2027, with 1,737 open site-nights in the current snapshot of 2,100.

How far ahead of a stay do openings appear at Holly Bay?

Half of the openings Campsite Sniper detected appeared at least 5 days before the stay date; the middle 50% landed 3-15 days out. Campsite Sniper can monitor future changes for dates you select.

When is the next open date at Holly Bay?

Campsite Sniper cannot answer that from the current snapshot. The availability data held for Holly Bay begins Mar 26, 2027 β€” about 144 days after this snapshot was taken, so any earlier dates are outside what Campsite Sniper is tracking here rather than known to be unavailable. Check Recreation.gov for dates before Mar 26, 2027.
