About
Tucked inside the Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest, Holliday Lake centers on a 119-acre lake with a swimming beach, boat rentals, and a 6.5-mile shoreline hiking loop. Two campgrounds offer electric-and-water hookup sites for RVs and trailers, plus a dedicated tents-only group camping area - a bunkhouse is also on site, not counted in the total above. It's a short drive from Appomattox Court House National Historical Park.
