All kinds of things to do in the campground!

There are all kind of trails to hike on just near the campground. Here are a few of them.

New pet in camp

Today there was a family that came into the camp ground and had a very nice pet with them . Even on a leash . It's a lop-earred Rabbit. The family said that it goes everywhere with them . They also said that the only problem is that people don't keep their pets on a leash because the little rabbit is scared of dogs.  This is so neat to see.

lets go have some fun

Here are some things that campers bring to have fun on the lake and here are the canoes that I have for rental at five dollars an hour or $25 a day . . .very affordable so come on . . .let's go have some fun on the lake before it's all over for the season!  "In summer the song sings itself!"  One more month of glorious summer!  Some early for the weekends we fill up fast!

Visitors from all over

We have had visitors here at the campground from Switzerland , Denmark ,Sweden , Germany and Canada .  One thing I like about being a camphost is getting to meet people from all over the world and from all over this beautiful land of the United States of America .

Here is the sunrise this morning as the sun was coming up over the mountain and the other one is the friendly geese down at the boat ramp . Well that's it for this time so everyone have a great time at whatever you are doing for the summer .

Since the last post a lot of things have happened

I have been awful busy so I'll try to bring you up to date . On the     4th of July we had a little cinnamon bear here in the camp.  He was a yearling.  At first he was just looking around and then one day he found food in a campsite. That started him coming back for more and then I was running him out of the campground three or four times a day.  This went on and on for the next few days . Then on the 11th of July the wildlife and game people said that was enough and brought out the bear trap . So within 24 hours the bear was in the trap.   I called the wildlife and game people and then they came out to get the bear.  As they were hooking up to the trap another bear came up to see what was going on so thay ran it out of the camp ground.  Then about two hours later the bear came back and went to a campsite and found a can of bear spray in a back pack that smelled like candy.   So the bear bit into the can and to his surprise it was a full can so he got a full mouth full of pepper spray!  The camper was inside his camper while this was going on and he told me that the bear left.  To this date we have not seen any bears in the campground  since. Well that was about all except that the campground has been busy each and every day . Each day the camp ground is full so come on out and don't miss out of all the fun that everyone is having this year.
When you get here and the campground is full don't go away until you talk to me because I have an overflow place to have you go to . Each day people leave and sites open up so I can have you get in that way . It may not be the site you want but at least you are here and you can have some fun camping and playing in the beautiful lake . Some of the campers are telling me that the water is nice to swim in too.     Red

Here are pictures of the little Cinnamon bear that was here . He is now relocated up higher in the mountains.  He was pretty cute!

THIS LOOKS FUN!!!

    Concessionaire and former Holland Lake Campground Host Charlie Jantzen and friends camped in the group site last week and treated Red to a ride in his new four wheeler!  They got a little lost but it had a GPS so they made it back to the campground ok!  What fun!!

Holland Lake Campground is a glorious place . . especially when the sun is shining like it will be this coming weekend into next week!  What amazes me is how QUIET the campground is even when full.  I spent some quiet time out as the sun was setting by the Lake and you could hear a pin drop Saturday night . . and we were full!!   Kids have a blast riding their bikes and scooters . . be sure to bring those!  Also we have 3 canoes for rent and they were busy this weekend!!  $5 and hour or $25 for the day.   We also have WiFi available for a daily fee $3.  We only had 5 spots open last weekend so make sure you come early in the week to get your favorite spot!  Montana and the campground put on their best face for me Thursday thru Saturday!!  The rain failed to dampen my spirits!  Made a day trip over to Garnet Ghost Town . . suggest you ONLY take the road turn off between Missoula and Salmon Lake and NOT any other way!!!  It was interesting!  Looking forward to exploring more of Montana and sharing it with you on this blog another visit!  I am back to "real life" in Indiana tomorrow (Wed).   Y'all take care of my husband, Red,  while I am gone and joke with him . . he loves to laugh!!! I was so happy to meet so many of you "regulars" at the campground.  Can't wait to come back!  Vicky
