The History of Holloway’s Marina & RV Park
It started with a nurseryman from Corona. Charles Holloway loved to fish, so in 1914, he hauled boat parts up the old Clark Grade to assemble them in Big Bear Lake, and he was approached by someone wanting to rent it before he even got it in the water. Charles knew he was onto something. He built a camp with 16 cabins, 30 rental boats, a general store and a barbershop.
In 1971, two couples — Marge and Don Hafen and Betty (Marge’s sister) and BruceTurner — bought the property from the Moores, ending a 57-year era. The Hafen/Turner family expanded the business a few years later with the purchase of three additional acres of land.
Holloway’s Marina has been one of the leading businesses of the community in Big Bear Lake since 1914 and still serves the community and guest from around the world.
Where Holloway’s Marina is Now
Loren Hafen currently runs the family business with his brother and cousins, and says the the Hafen/Turner operation started their new chapter by developing a first-class marina and RV park that now has 10 acres of land, over 350 boat slips and moorings, 116 full hookup RV sties, two convenience stores and more.
