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.

This was a really lovely location for our quick, one night getaway. We enjoyed the beautiful view and being able to hike the trails right from our campsite. This property is very well cared for and lots of thought/planning has been taken to give you a wonderful experience.
