Holmes bend the campground is nice and fairly quiet. The 2 hosts, Staci and Jeff they are the ones their camp site is directly across from toll booth they are wonderful and made our camping trip even better. They go above and beyond for fellow campers. I don't know what they get paid. Whatever it is, they surely need a $ raise great folks as these 2 will create repeat customers. we will definitely be back soon. I highly recommend this campground.
