The elevation is 4,050 ft. The campground is located on Holland Lake and is comprised of two loops - Larch Loop and Bay Loop. Larch Loop is the first of the two loops reached on Holland Lk. Rd. It is located along the shore on a bluff. The Bay Loop is almost a mile further down the road, located on an attractive little bay. The campground is wooded with Tamarack, Ponderosa and Douglas fir. The Bay Loop has heavier understory than the Larch Loop, providing more privacy between sites. The first seven sites in the Bay Loop have delightful views of the lake and all pull throughs are located on this loop. For a cook’s night out, the Holland Lodge is nearby. WiFi is available for a fee. The Holland Falls Trail #416 starts at the end of Holland Lk Rd. and leads to the picturesque Holland Falls. Several other trails can be accessed from this trail; contact the Swan Lake District Ranger's Office for details. This is Grizzly Bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
Open May 15 through September 29
