Holly Lake Campsites

The campground is full of permanent campers, and there are very few that are just coming in for vacation. The campground is very large and not a place that you can just let your kids roam and have fun. It's a lot of wooded roads with trees very close on the sides and the entire road is curves and full of pot holes. The speed limit is 10, but you're lucky if you can go that fast. It takes 20 minutes to get to your campsite you have to drive so slow. The water and electric hook ups are not close enough for you reach because the lots are full of oversized trees...so bring a long hose and extension cord. If it's calling for rain plan on everything turning to mud.

My family and I stayed at Holly Lakes Campsites in June 2018. The only good thing about Holly Lakes Campsites is it has sewer hookups and numerous pull-through campsites. Upon entering Holly Lakes Campsites with your RV, it may be challenging for you to get to your campsite. If you have a RV larger than 25 feet, you may have difficulties driving to your campsite and as well as exiting your campsite. The roads are poorly marked and are extremely tight with lots of trees. As for leaving Holly Lake Campsites with your RV, John J. Williams Highway, Route 24, is the main road from Millsboro to Rehoboth Beach and making a left onto John J. Williams Highway on the weekends, you may find it exceedingly risky. As for our campsite, it was not impressive. It was covered with leaves and trash everywhere. Fortunately, we had patio mats, tarps, trash bags and a rake. One of the reasons we selected our original campsite was the location of our campsite to the pool. During registration at the Holly Lake Campsites' office, I was told they had moved us because management wanted us to have a "pleasant and enjoyable stay" since we were first timers and this other campsite was better. Not true. Our original reserved campsite had a "full season" resident occupying it. The campsite we were finally assigned was not near the pool but was very quiet because our campsite was surrounded by "full season" residents and fortunately for us no one was around. The pool area was nice and the kids did enjoy the pool. Also, Holly Lakes Campsites does not have cable. Good Sam's rating for Holly Lake Campsites is a 7/8/8. There is no way Holly Lake Campsites is above a 5/5/5 at best. In fact, in my opinion the facility rating should be around a 2. It appears Holly Lake Campsites has majority "full season" residents and it also appears there is no upkeep policy for "full season" campsites or RVs. Numerous "full season" resident campsites looked like they had been abandoned, used for storage, run down, dirty, awnings collapsing, and some even had boats stored next to them.
