1.3 acre property hidden in small town Glencoe, AL. Beautiful tall pines enclose this beautiful site in front of an old public cemetery plot that's rarely visited but has a pathway through the woods for exploring, a circle path we named Panther Path will lead you right back to camp. (The name Panther Path has a story. Basically keep an eye out for black panthers in these parts.) Our family and farm animals live on the property as well (Don't mind the rooster in the AM) but there's plenty of room to pitch a tent, bring your small camper or smaller skoolie (If rig is over 25 feet please message me after booking and we can figure out how to accommodate your rig best before arrival.) There is plenty of room for a couple tents as well if you are traveling as a group, amenities include: a brick fire circle, wood garden set for sitting with small table and some privacy from our family but a lot of privacy from the outside world, the graveyards are free to explore, but if you go in the gated one we ask that you relatch the gate.
Firewood can be ready at your campsite for an additional cost. We have seasonal events as well as a farm stand, a bus shop, and a greenhouse. (These are still projects in progress.)
We have two dogs, Boogie - a male and a very large dog, LGD - Livestock Guardian Dog, her name is Maple. Both dogs are very nice and kind. Maple's job is to protect our ducks and chickens from predators. She will bark but she will not hurt you. She will especially love you if you have treats or say 'Hello, Maple!" We will try to have her put away before bookings if enough notice is given. She will not hurt a human, she knows her job and duty on our homestead but she can be nosy as she runs the perimeter of our property often. If you have a fear of dogs or would like to make sure she is put up just send me a message beforehand and I will make sure she is put away secure. She also will not mind other dogs but please make sure if you bring a pet it is kind to other animals and we expect all pets are leashed at all times unless inside your rig.

Awesome new campsite! The hosts are lovely. They met us and let us pick wherever we’d like to go, plus goody bags and some wood! The hook ups are great, amazing view from the ridge off to the north east. Clear skies and bright stars. No blinding camp lights which is amazing! Most campsites have huge pillars that blast light into your tents, but this one was really serene. New bathrooms and showers, and only a couple minutes down the street from Cherokee Rock Village for climbing (no power there). Excited to have a good spot to base camp at for long climbing weekends!

The river right next to the site was so nice. It was great to have the deck and the covered area that we used as a camp kitchen. We put up two tents around the fire ring and had plenty of room. Access to the river is direct and easy. There was an area the dogs were able to use to get in and out as well. It wasn’t muddy and we didn't have any trouble getting to the site in our 2wd trucks. The provided directions were very clear and easy to follow. The neighbors do have a driveway that passes near the site, but they weren't disruptive or traveling in and out after quiet hours.

What a wonderful camping experience. My dog and I had the pleasure of staying at tent site C6 by the pond. Leigh was kind and helpful when checking us in and showing us to our campsite. The campsite itself was spacious, mostly flat, clean and very private. We enjoyed taking short hikes and kayaking and swimming the pond. I didn't take advantage of the service, but loved that there was a campsite delivery store. I also didn't take full advantage of the bath house but am so glad I stopped to check it out... very clean showers, bathroom stalls, dish sink and even a water bottle filling station.
The only dowside is that the property is VERY hilly, with a couple of steep grades on the way to the campsite that my front-wheel-drive car struggled with a little. Some of the hiking trails we took also had some steep hills that seemed extra taunting in the heat of summer.
All that to say, we had a wonderful time and I will definitely be back.

This is one of the most peaceful and well kept campgrounds we have been to. The bath house is the best when it comes to cleanliness and privacy. The catch and release pond has some decent sized bass. The trails are well maintained and lead to some beautiful views. The creek has some pretty sites and is a great place to cool off on these hot summer days. If you're looking for a place to relax and get away from reality for a few days, this is the place. We can't wait to be back!

My friend group and I had a phenomenal experience tent camping by the Pond at Bohamia. We enjoyed swimming and canoeing in the spring fed pond, which was incredibly refreshing as there was a heat-wave while we were camping. The Pond area has the feel of camping in a secluded area, it was lovely as we had the entire pond to ourselves (we were the only tent-campers braving the heat.)
We enjoyed learning about the property from the host/co-owner. She is super personable and friendly. Our pups enjoyed exploring and relaxing in the ample shade by the pond.
We were impressed by the cleanliness of the facilities. It was so nice to have access to a kitchen sink so we could easily clean up our cookware without wasting drinking water.
Overall Bohamia was by far one of the best campsites we’ve experienced thus far.

This campsite is so easy to camp at. Danny has Dark Hollow so well setup, maintained, and organized. The property has everything a tent camper looking for a creek spot to leisurely explore.
We tent camped for 2 nights. I have a small car, which allowed me to pull right up to the campsite we chose, named “The Ledge.” We had a fire pit, picnic table, immediate trailhead access, and a view I dream of waking up to always.
We spent hours exploring the creek, laying out in the sun, birdwatching, and more. The trails are easy to follow, however, you need hiking boots. I would say the trails we did were easy with moderate-difficult areas depending on how far you decide to go.
If you are someone who loves simple outdoor camping, book a few nights at Dark Hollow. There is an outdoor propane powered shower at the top of the campground, an outhouse toward the bottom/middle, a spigot for utility water, and trash cans. There is an option to add on firewood; I didn’t have to haul bundles of it in my tiny car.
Oh, man. We had the best time here.
I highly suggest Dark Hollow for tent campers who want to explore outside of public parks.
Thank you, Danny, for sharing such a special place.
