Lakeside sites, cabins and yurts on Hollis Lake
Sixty-two acres of birch on the north shore, run by the same family since 1974. Every loop road ends at the lake.
A night in Loop A or C1–C6. 30 amp, water at the site.
D1–D14, and they take 45 ft plus a tow vehicle.
L1–L6, fire ring at the water’s edge. Two nights minimum.
Pull-throughs take 45 ft plus a tow vehicle. Back-ins run from 28 ft in Loop A to 42 ft in Loop D, which was regraded in 2023 for big rigs. Sites A7 through A14 are the tightest, and we will tell you honestly if your rig will not fit. Every site, loop by loop, or the full rate card.
What is here
Three ways to stay
Everything sits in the birch between the loop roads and the shoreline, so nothing is a long walk from the water.

Since 1974
Forty acres of cutover birch, and a dock
Ray’s parents bought forty acres of cutover birch on the north shore of Hollis Lake and rented six canvas tents and a dock. The dock is still there. Almost everything else has been rebuilt twice.
What hasn’t changed is that the whole place points at the water — every loop road ends at the lake, and the sites people book a year ahead are the ones where you can hear it.
Dana and Ray Whitlock, second-generation owners. Family-run since 1991.
On the property
What people actually do here
The lake
1,900 ft of north shore, a sand beach, two docks and a boat landing. Walleye, northern pike, smallmouth and panfish. Swimming and fishing.
The pool
Heated, 20 by 40 ft, open 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. Opens Memorial Day weekend, closes the weekend after Labor Day. No lifeguard.
Friday and Saturday
Two rotating food trucks on the pavilion apron, 5:00 to 8:00 pm, Memorial Day through Labor Day. Wood-fired pizza on Fridays. Food and the store.
Every night of the week
Hot dog night Saturday, ice cream Wednesday, bingo Thursday, a movie on the beach once it is dark. Music on the pavilion in July and August. What’s on.
What guests say
Three we kept
“We booked one night on the way through and stayed five. The lakefront sites are exactly as good as the photos and the gate code thing is the only complicated part.”
Marta K., August 2025
“Twelve rigs, one rally, zero problems. Ray walked every site with our wagon master the day before.”
Northern Loop RV Club, June 2025
“We got married in the pavilion in the rain and it was better than the version we planned.”
Ellie and Sam, September 2024
Booking
The season people miss
Labor Day to mid-October is the best-kept secret here: the birches turn, the lake is still swimmable for the brave, and you can have a lakefront site on a weekend without booking in January.
