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 rolls from sancuary to battleground over the years. There are numerous activities with in 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.

Dark Hollow brightened my Day!
Camping at Dark Hollow was such a great experience! It began with a lovely greeting by Danny, who showed me how to use the shower and explained the hiking trails. I had a blast on the hiking trails and enjoyed a lovely sunset with a fire. The drive into the property is almost as beautiful as the stay at Dark Hollow. I cant wait to come back. Slight road noise, but not a very busy road at all.

We tent camped for two nights and loved it. The views were great and the host was very helpful.

We had a wonderful time at Dark Hollow! We were able to let our dogs go off leash and ended up with a really great spot with plenty of room for our rooftop tent.

Happy in the Hollow
Dark Hollow is an amazing property! Danny was great to communicate with and Zed was a superstar when we arrived. He was so helpful getting our van into the perfect spot. The trail down to the creek at the bottom of the hollow was perfect. The creek itself is a magical place where our dog had the best time exploring and running free. The camp site had a very nice picnic table and large fire pit. The view is second to none. We can’t wait to visit again!

Our favorite camping spot
Another great stay at Dark Hollow! Camp was full for a perfect fall weekend, but we had plenty of space, privacy, and quiet. The views are incredible, and listening to the nearby big cat sanctuary never gets old. I highly recommend. Thank you, DH friends!
