Great camp site and super kind host. My wife and I came to camp in 16 degree weather and the host made sure we had everything we needed to stay safe. He wanted to personally meet us at the gate. Will be staying here again.

Bates Farm was a great place to stay. I booked a site later in the afternoon and I had a response from Mary confirming the booking almost immediately. The hosts were super polite and very helpful. Bathrooms and shower were very clean and worked amazing. The archery range looked like it would be fun and I will have to return with my bow next time!

Great spot for a weekend get away! Camping in the bed of my truck with ease and while it did rain the whole time the view made up for it. friendly hosts helped us get settled fast. Dogs are super friendly and really close to Tigers for tomorrow!

Zed and Strider were amazing hosts! Our campsite was beautiful and the hiking trails on property were fun to explore. Zed and Strider asked us many times if there was anything they could do to make our stay better. They were very accommodating and attentive. We would definitely recommend dark hollow and if we are ever passing through Alabama again, this will be where we camp!

I liked that I got a notification that I could order ice and water (there were some items) and the water and ice were waiting when I arrived. That’s a really cool feature.
This my second time to over night camp on the way to the beach. I’ll be back.

Words can’t express how welcome I felt! They showed me around some of the different camping grounds. Made sure I had enough wood for the night. Very very nice camping area.
The views or a 10/10! The sound of the waterfall put me to sleep. The picture can express the beauty of the camping ground.
I’ll be back soon and this time I’m bring my family so they can enjoy the scene and relax to. I can’t wait!

Dark Hallow is, by far, the best Hip Camp experience my wife and I have had. The camp host was excellent in every way. There’s a reason this place is ranked very highly. Extremely friendly, accommodating, and personable. The camp sites were pristine, had all the views, stars, hikes, and amenities you would desire for primitive camping. Our dogs enjoyed the stay and especially enjoyed the quick hike down to the beautiful waterfalls and pools in the hallow. My wife and I will be returning in the near future to visit Danny and Zed.
