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!!

Fun weekend in the woods
Tent
We loved tent camping at Dark Hollow! There is a fun little trail to hike on and the bathrooms were the best campsite ones I’ve seen in a while. We didn’t use the shower, but that is awesome that they have one. It is a little close to a bigger road for those of you with wandering dogs, keep an eye on that. We had no issues and everyone there was very nice!

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.
