Holmes Bend is only 1 hour from our home and we had never known about it til this trip. We chose a wooded space, # 58. There was a nice breeze in Late Sept/early October. We interacted with several friendly campers, and watched squirrels and deer from our site. Only problem were the sweat bees. They didn’t sting until the day we we changed from our long sleeves and pants to our shorts and tshirts. But we will be back, and often. It’s too beautiful and well kept not to enjoy it often.

Our site was next to the woods. We had shade all day, trails ran right behind us and the bath house was close.
