Due to the heavy smoke and fire nearby we are closing the campground on Sunday 9/30/2012. 

Everyone have a great winter and we'll see you all next season.  Throughout the winter I will try to put something on here to let you all know when we are going to open back up for the season. Take care and be safe too.    RED  (your  friendly host at Holland Lake Campground)

 These are some awesome pictures of Holland Lake from Holland lookout that is about 8000 ft. elev. The campground is at 4000 Ft. Elev. . Two couples from the campground went up to Holland lookout on 9/17/2012 and this is what they saw. The lower picture is the cabin that was used for the lookout station. Thanks Kevin and friends for these great pictures.

Well today we only have two couples in the campground so there are only a few more weeks of camping left . . . so come on out before I lock up and go home .
Don't forget Oct 9th is the last day we will be open then it will have to be next year for camping.  It gets down in the upper 30's at night and up in the upper 70's in the daytime here at the lake. There has been no bear siting for about a week now . . . so lets go have some fun around the campfire one more time.

Oh just about forgot to let you all know about the fires.  They are still going and there is some smoke in the mornings and as it warms up and the wind blows,  it clears up.  There are about two hundred people and six helicopters on this fire at this time. They are really trying to get it put out.

Condon Fire Flares Up Again

 Well I am sorry to say but the Condon fire is going again but this time it is worse than the first time I am told.  These first four pictures were taken this morning at 6:30 am at the Condon ranger station / work station . They have more people fighting the fire and the Helicopters are back too. So if you are traveling in the area PLEASE slow down and be careful .  We will be open for three more weekends and during the week.   The campground closes October 9th.

This picture was taken as I was going back to the campground along the highway on highway 83 . The sun is trying to shine though.   The temp. was 36 out this morning and should get up to in the 70's today .

Yesterday I took the swimming buoys out so the season is coming to an end for this year . There is still time to get out for one last time before I close down for the season . . .so come on!  It is a little cool at night but gets warm in the daytime.

Over the last weekend there was a wedding at the beach area and here is a chair that the wedding couple sat in together around the fire . I took this picture on Sunday morning as everyone was starting to get up an about.

Here are two campers out on the lake yesterday afternoon with their two dogs . They told me later that it sure was fun out on the lake . . . so come on out while the campground is open, rent a canoe, and have some fun.  The weather is cool at night but warms up in the daytime.   Plenty of fresh air and sunshine!!!

This is our newest unusual pet that was here in the campground this past week .  She and her husbund say that they take him everywhere . If you don't know what it is . . . it's a Ferret and his name is Loki .
