Convenient stop for the night or a few days for RV’s or Tent campers and a good place to get a hot shower - only a easy mile a half from I-20 exit 173 ( Eastaboga - Talladega Superspeedway Exit ) also a good base camp to see Cheaha State Park - bike at Coldwater Mountain- see the Talladega Superspeedway , Combat Park Flea Market , Oxford ballgames or other area Activities - I reserve one RV site and two tent sites for hipcamp and rent the other five RV sites at the top of hill on a monthly basis - these hipcamp sites are wooded, shady with woods between the other sites to give some privacy while still not far from the unique showers made from the old chicken house feed bins -these showers are very functional and I have been complimented that they are the best showers on the east coast

High speed, Nascar style outdoor adventure is so abundant at Talladega National Forest, we’re pretty sure Ricky Bobby spends his days here. Feel the wind in your hair on the Kentuck OHV or Sylaward Mountain Bike Trails. If you’re wanting more solitude, try hiking the challenging Odum Point where dwarf trees dot the landscape. Stunning laurels and huckleberry bushes will greet trail riders in the spring, and camping is as perfect as it gets with fall foliage greeting you in the autumn. Waterfalls, rugged ridgetops, and shady hollers ensure there’s no need to get hopped up on mountain dew; Talladega will have you hopped on adventure before you can say “shake and bake”!

The host was very nice and made us feel welcome. We really enjoyed the campsite and had a blast. The hiking trails off of the site were just challenging enough to make it exciting, but not impossible for people with little experience. I’d highly recommend the zoo near the site. We were at the bobcat tent site and could hear the lions and hyenas at night from our campfire. Highly recommend!

We decided to camp here last minute, and we loved it! The view was great, we were secluded and it felt like we were in our own little place. It was very relaxing, and the owners were very kind to not only us, but my kid too. ( Bonus points for Zed for tricking my fiancé into running to beat his lawnmower 🤣 ) we try to camp at a new location every trip, but we are already planning on being back here! We were the first campers there, and were able to choose our spot! You can also purchase wood and they will bring it to the spot of your choosing!

It was a great time camping at Dark Hollow. Danny met us right when we arrived and showed us around and since we were the first ones there for the day he let us choose the exact site we wanted. Zed was also great and was there whenever we had a question or needed anything. The views were great, the hike to the creek at the bottom was easy, and the add on firewood extra was definitely worth the $15. Would stay at Dark Hollow again!

Danny was an amazing host, he met me when I arrived to show me around despite it being late in the evening. The camp area is neat and orderly and the composting outhouse was extremely clean and orderly. Each campsite had a great fire ring, picnic table, and a stack of firewood. But the show stopper was the propane heated outdoor shower! It was amazing and an absolute experience in of itself. I'll definitely be staying again when I next visit the area! I would have to say that it was the best hip camp experience I've had to date!

Dark Hollow is an absolute gem! Danny is an amazing host and welcomed me to the campground and showed me around the beautiful property and let me pick my site (first come, first serve). I stayed at Bobcat which has a beautiful view and is just off the trail down to the creek. Great stargazing! The campground is close to High Falls and Bucks Pocket and a short drive to Little River Canyon and other great areas to hike. Will definitely be back!

We loved camping at Dark Hollow! It was quiet, clean, and the host and other campers were very friendly. It's located in a beautiful area and the campsites are spaced out well. The firewood bundle is a great deal and we were able to purchase more wood through the app once we got there. Keep in mind that it is a bit of a steep hike to get to the little waterfall and creek, although it isn't very far. Our dog had a blast exploring the woods and we loved not having to keep her on a leash the whole time!

Beautiful view overlooking Northern Alabama. Host is very friendly and made sure we knew the areas of the campsite. The trail was fun, but was a quick reminder we need to do that more often. Definitely a light workout. There is also a tiger sanctuary close enough we could briefly hear them at night. You can visit them during the day, it’s not too far a drive. Was my daughter’s first camp. She’s already asking when our next adventure will be.

What a dream experience this was! The owners were incredibly friendly and made us feel very safe and cared for. We stayed at the Bobcat site - what a view! The accommodations were exactly what we needed. The campsites were all spaced out enough so we had privacy but didn’t feel completely alone. Also, can’t beat the firewood bundle deal. We will be back very soon!!

This was our 2nd trip to Dark Hollow, and both times me and my family had a great time. The camp grounds are always well maintained, and the host Danny and Zed are very accommodating. From meeting with you to show you around when you arrive, to promptly responding to any questions we had. Dark Hollow is a great place to just relax and disconnect from the busy day to day, and enjoy some quality family time.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Dark Hollow and will hopefully be back soon. We live in Florida, and miss camping, and Dark Hollow is the closest and best camping without heading up into Tennessee or north Carolina. Beautiful camp grounds and amenities and still felt so secluded. My kids loved the trails.

This camp was amazing! The hosts were so nice and the amenities are really cool. The river is about a mile away down a marked path, but beginner-hikers should be cautious. This place is INCREDIBLE! 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, will be returning next year for sure ❤️
