Dark Hollow Park provides beautiful, private, and secure primative campsites. Potable water and a composting privey are available. The camp host is on site if there are any questions. There is a one-mile hiking trail, a small stream and waterfalls located a short hike down into Dark Hollow. The Hollow is rich in history. There is a small Amphitheater in the bottom of the hollow where permanent water remains year-round. Dark Hollow has played many roles from sanctuary to battleground over the years. There are numerous activities within a short distance.Dark Hollow is a beautiful property with plenty of tenting options. We have eight named sites that each accomdate several tents. Only four are occupied at any given time. Small trailers and rv's have several options depending on size. You may reserve a specific site if you message me in advance. Children under 12 stay for free here. Campers often hear lions, tigers, or wolves from the sanctuary located in Sand Valley below. The terrain is rugged with a steep hike down to the creek. There are many hiking trails throughout the 14 acres. The more primative campsites require a hike to the farside of the property. Dark Hollow has a rich history of use due to the year around water sources and the terrain providing a defensible position. The Amphitheater located in the bottom of the hollow is unique and gives a glimpse into the past. The camp host "Zed" or "Strider" will meet you to help find your campsite and give a brief orientation upon arrival. A firewood bundle is a wheelbarrow full. The quietest day of the week is Sunday. Happy camping.

Quiet and clean. Convenient to the interstate for someone just moving through the area. Danny and the host were great. The dark skies we really loved with no light pollution.

Could not have asked for a better experience. Incredibly friendly host, gave me a quick tour upon arrival and even checked in on me on thanksgiving day just to make sure I didn’t need anything. Truly a kind dude. I happened to have the place to myself which was BEYOND awesome as my dogs got to roam free. This is just a remarkable property. The view is out of this world. I came up here from Miami and cannot stress how well worth it the drive was. I hope to be back soon. Thank you

Great Experience!
We absolutely loved our experience at Dark Hollow. Easy to find and the hosts are wonderful! All campsites are clean with fireproofs and plenty of space. They all offer great views of the valley below. I would 10/10 recommend! Me and the family will be back!

Beautiful view and host was very friendly! The hike down to the creek is challenging but worth it.
