About this property

Welcome to Holly Lake Resort

Holly Lake Resort is a private, residents-only community located at 70 Lake Dr, Dennisville, NJ. It is not a traditional hotel but a seasonal mobile home and trailer park offering a relaxed, family-oriented environment with a variety of outdoor amenities. The property features a pool, free Wi-Fi, and free parking, but does not have an on-site restaurant or fitness center. The resort operates as a smoke-free area, contributing to its clean and pleasant atmosphere.

The setting is ideal for visitors interested in sightseeing and recreation, with nearby natural attractions including Cape May County Park & Zoo, Belleplain State Forest, and The Wetlands Institute, all offering opportunities for outdoor exploration. Guests have praised the well-maintained bathrooms and laundry facilities, as well as the friendly and welcoming community vibe. Reviewers highlighted activities such as horseshoe competitions and kid-friendly amenities like playgrounds, miniature golf, and corn hole.

Access to Holly Lake Resort is convenient from Philadelphia International Airport (about an hour by car) and Atlantic City International Airport (under an hour by car), making it accessible for visitors traveling by air. The resort is best suited for those who have secured longer-term stays or ownership arrangements, as rentals are seldom available for short durations. Several reviewers noted the private ownership and rental restrictions, emphasizing the appeal for families and repeat visitors seeking a quiet retreat rather than typical hotel accommodations.

Overall, the resort's 4.7 rating based on 65 reviews reflects a positive reception, particularly for its clean facilities and sociable environment. While some feedback underlined limitations such as the absence of campfires and the need for additional cleaning around poolside tables, it remains a favored destination for those looking for a low-key getaway within a gated, community-focused setting in South Jersey.

This is not a public hotel. It's an awesome place for kids. You need to buy a site, most over 150k and it's gated. If you find an owner to rent from it is a minimum of 6 weeks.

Visited family there. Had a wonderful time. Amazed at how clean bathrooms and laundry was. Only thing that needed scrubbing were tables around the pool. No crumbs or trash just needed a good cleaning

Holly lake is my happy place. My family has enjoyed a vacation home there for over 30 years. The only negative is the ban on campfires the board made years ago. Other than that, I love it at Holly Lake.

I played a show at Holly Lake over the memorial day weekend. This is a first class run operation. This resort is huge and features the pool, a lake, all kinds of activities for kids etc. Really friendly people and its kind of a chill party atmosphere. I have a friend that ownes a trailer at the park and loves it there. He has been there going on 3 years. The band did really well. We are back in August. If your looking to invest in a summer get away this is the place. In my opinion the best kept secret in South Jersey resorts!

This is a fantastic place, family oriented. Owners only, rentals limited to 5 weeks or more. This will save you so much over a corporate owned campground you won't believe it until you try it.

It is our home away from home. We live in Florida and spend our summers at Holly Lake. We own a place there. It is not a hotel. It is a seasonal mobile home community.
