Scenic Tent Camping @ Dark Hollow
Tent · With pets
Dark Hollow provided a serene escape, with phenomenal views, while also being quite easily accessible to adjoining highways and towns. upon arrival, we were immediately met by the host, who provided a detailed overview and layout of the grounds, as well as let us choose our preferred campsite location. the trails were windy, but a great adventure and well worth the trek. while staying, you wouldn’t have known there was anyone in near vicinity, but if/when there was any inquiry or “need”, the host was rapid to respond and provide above and beyond. you can see and experience a well kept and nurtured piece of natural escape at Dark Hollow.

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
