Holly Grove Area

Beautiful open camping and activity field with a nice fire enclosure and older picnic tables.

Drive straight on Archery Range Road, don't turn into the neighborhood. If the road looks like it's rough and unmaintained, you are on the correct road.

Reserve through the Durham Parks and Rec on their website. This is not instant booking, it requires some emailing with the city. It is 60%-80% less for this site than most state park group sites. Special deals for Durham residents and PlayMore card holders.

This is hidden away and the road has washout ruts that must be navigated on the drive into the site.

Pit toilet only that is 100 yards up the hill.

Water is available at the Spruce Pine Lodge sites across Bahama Road--not walkable from the site, especially if you are carrying lots of water.

Don't let getting to the site discourage you, it's a beautiful spot.

Great place for family or group camping! You can drive right up to the camp grounds or backpack in. There is a huge open field for activities. Lake Michie is easily accessed from trails. There are good sites for bank fishing and large catfish available for landing. The road in can be a little bumpy and the entrance is not well marked. The site is very popular with local Boy Scout Troops.
