1 night at Dark Hollow

We had a great stay at Dark Hollow! We parked at the bobcat site, the view was absolutely stunning.

1 night at Dark Hollow

Great spot with nice amenities and a wonderful view. Owner was extremely kind and helpful. The road is nearby, but seldom travelled so not an issue to me. Next time I would like to explore more of the trail which looked very nice.

3 nights at Dark Hollow

Absolutely loved this place. Enjoyed the views, the area, and the helpful and friendly host. We had to leave a day early because of extreme weather coming in, but we wished that was not the case. Hope to get back sooner than later.

1 night at Dark Hollow

Beautiful spot and affordable, not far from the interstate.

1 night at NW GA Farm Stay

Terrific site - very friendly host. Tidy, quiet, and inviting. We stayed at the water/electric site with a 35’ class A RV. Easy enough to get into, didn’t need to level out. Clean water, 50amp hookup (no 30 amp, so bring an adapter if needed). Grounds were impeccably clean and tidy. Lots of animals, each in their own penned in area. The hosts invited us to go see them, which was fun for us and our child. Very family friendly spot. 10/10, would stay again.

Weekend Trip to River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

This is a beautiful spot with multiple options for camping. We especially enjoyed the river, which though cold was wonderful for a refreshing swim. The hosts were extremely prompt with communication, and made sure we had everything we needed. Do be aware - as other campers have mentioned, there are multiple cameras around the property, but there is a campsite a bit further walk that feels more private if the cameras bother you. Overall we loved our stay and would certainly come back!

Weekend Trip to The Peaceful Palmer Retreat

We had another wonderful stay at Michelle’s property. We enjoyed hiking the trails to the river to cast a few lines, while listening to the turkeys and owls. We also saw a number of deer in the woods. As always, Michelle checked in on us to ensure that all was well with our visit. Hipcampers should appreciate these hosts that share their land for our enjoyment of nature and the outdoors. Get out and enjoy this retreat.

1 night at River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

Beautiful place. Nicely set up. I'd definitely stay there again and definitely recommend it.

1 night at Dark Hollow

This is a lovely spot with a very short hike to a creek with a beautiful little waterfall, lots of stargazing, and a wonderful heated, outdoor shower. Danny, Zed, and Deogee are delightful hosts.

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

Warm and friendly host, beautiful, quiet camping spot overlooking a green valley. Not crowded.

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

Absolutely beautiful property. Enjoyed the hike which was a challenge but well worth it.

Weekend Trip to River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

We loved this property! The owners keep it clean and beautiful! They are also super sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. Doni is very communicative and wants to help make your experience the best. My kids loved fishing, playing in the shallow parts of the river, floating on the family tube, and being able to see SO many stars at night. I high recommend this property!

Weekend Trip to NW GA Farm Stay

Loved camping at this beautiful farm. Hosts were so welcoming. Campsite, Adirondack chairs, and fire pit were great. We purchased meat and 2 types of cheeses to enjoy. Were able to pet some of the sheep and goats. Would definitely stay here again.

3 nights at Dark Hollow

This was such a great spot! Absolutely amazing views of the mountains and pastures from the sites and you can hear the wolves, lions and tigers at the Tigers for Tomorrow preserve less than 5 miles away! The hosts were more than great and the creek and waterfalls are just an awesome sounds to sleep to! We will be back for sure!! BINGO!! 😁🥰

2 nights at Dark Hollow

Dark Hollow was really nice. The camp site had a great view and was spacious. The host was very helpful too. There is multiple things to do around the area.

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

We loved the campsite! Beautiful views and very well kept. Our dogs were able to enjoy some time off leash as well. Camp host was friendly and accommodating. The GPS position from Hipcamp is spot on, and the gate was easy to find. Some campsites are immediately close to the main entrance, while a few others are at a higher elevation spot with more area for off-leash dogs to run around (where we ultimately stayed). We had a 4WD SUV able to make it up the unpaved road to the higher campsites with no issues, but smaller vehicles would likely need to stay parked in the lower parking area then carry up any camping gear. We paid the extra fee for firewood which was well worth it. The firewood is kept under a covered shelter to help keep it dry. They also have a wheelbarrow there to help haul firewood to your campsite. We stayed for one night, so the amount of wood we paid for was beyond plenty for our needs. The on-site outhouse was very well-maintained and well stocked with Toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Water Slickers were conveniently located and easy to use. The camp host mentioned more renovation was ongoing with putting in septic and other amenities. There is a lot of love and energy being put into Dark Hollow. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Peaceful Palmer Retreat

Beautiful land. We had a 26 ft vintage Motorhome and we're pulling a Jeep on our way to see family in Florida. Michelle sent us multiple messages to keep us updated and what spots we could choose. The areas along the treeline were Beautiful and out of wind and our space near the grapevine allowed easy entry and exit. I would definitely stay again!

Weekend Trip to NW GA Farm Stay

We had a great time a Twin Oaks Boondocking site - Farm the host was great and had great communication and the site was amazing and farm so beautiful and fun to see the Goats, Sheep, Ducks, Rabbits, Cats, Dogs etc. We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend staying here if you have the chance.

7 nights at Lake Paradise Camping

Quiet and peaceful location with helpful host. Spacious but could use more lighting for the night time.

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

We had the best time camping at Dark Hollow! The site was very peaceful and provided the perfect getaway! One of the highlights was the hiking trails that take you right to a beautiful waterfall. Zed and Strider were super helpful getting us all settled in for a great weekend. Highly recommend this site if you are looking to get away!!
