Driving directionsFrom Highway 83 turn east onto Holland Lake Road #44 near mile marker 35. Follow this road about 3 miles. There are two loops, first the Bay Loop then the Larch Loop. The Campground host is located in the Larch Loop.
The road is paved most of the way there but becomes dirt and gravel after 2.5 miles. Holland Lake Road is described as rough by some sources, though accessible.

Best Time to Camp at Holland Lake Campground

From mid-May through late September, the Swan Valley transforms into a temperate paradise where crisp mountain mornings give way to sun-drenched afternoons perfect for lake activities. As evening approaches, the air takes on that distinctive alpine chill that makes campfire gatherings all the more memorable. Summer visitors should come prepared for nature's smallest residents – mosquitoes make their presence known during the magical twilight hours and early mornings, a small price to pay for experiencing this wilderness at its most atmospheric.
