Some folks enjoy the simplicity of pitching a small tent, rolling out a sleeping bag and bedding down with the sounds of nature. Others like to get a little more comfy, like in a pop-up camper with soft beds.
And still others enjoy traveling around with all the comforts of home in a big RV or travel trailer. Sometimes, you try to get away from the family, and other times it’s nice to bring them with you. Extended family and groups of scouts like to camp together. If you love to camp, chances are you have very distinct preferences on the way you like to do it. Anyway you like to camp, Holliday Lake State Park has a campsite for you.
