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”!

For casual campers we have the Wooded Campsite which is easy to access, and for more experienced campers wanting a little more of a hike we recommend the Secluded Grove campsite. The land from bottom to top of the mountain is designed as a 5 part pilgrimage, and how high up the mountain you can get can be used to evaluate your spiritual and physical fitness. WLCC minister Aron. the campsite host is typically available for Guided pilgrimage hikes and if the weather cooperates, and if your party is tough enough, and doesn't mind a little scrambling and getting dirty, you can also see the mandala cliff cave which only maybe 1 in 5 groups make it to is true test of skill to get there to complete the final step of the pilgrimage. Most campers choose to self explore and there are many beautiful sights to see with trail going up the mountain, or you can just chill with the view of your campsite if you prefer. As you ascend Sand Mountain, the vegetation thins revealing spectacular views of Lookout Mountain especially in the fall & winter months after the leaves have fallen. At the very top of the property are 30+ ft high cliffs. There is a cliff cave that has a colorful collection of lichen growing in it and we have named it our 'Mandala cave', but access is subject to weather and requires Guide to access. If you enjoy bush craft, there is plenty of material for you to build a lean-to, tipi, or structure of choice. Trees range from poplar to multiple species of oak. Natural wildlife include deer, wild turkeys, scorpions, and ticks. Pets are welcome, and be advised we have a male cat who will likely hide if you bring dogs but won't bother you. If you need assistance minister Aron, campsite host lives on site in the custom earthbag parsonage, and is also available for earthbag building workshops and guided hikes for nominal donation of $5. All funds from hipcamp donations go to Whole Life Center Church s.s.m, the Freedom religion (wholelife.cc) for improving religious pilgrimage experience. Our church creed is Freedom is Universal. Through camping and nature you can experience God.

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 campground is very clean and well kept. The view was nice as well. It’s the perfect place to stop to break up a long road trip. I met one of the long term campers and he was extremely nice and spoke very highly of the owners.

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.

You don't register for a specific site, but upon arrival I asked which sites were the best. They were very forthcoming. I would recommend primative site #1 or #2. The 4th of July concert and fireworks were great! And everyone in the campgrounds were very friendly and most were long stay (which means they are respectful) or return guests (also respectful). The store was great as I forgot a few things and the staff was very helpful!

Exactly as described! We had a GMC SUV with AWD and made it up the hill just fine. (No mud while we stayed, thankfully or we would have walked up) Aron was very kind, and stood around in the 95 degree heat to answer our questions about the area. Great spot, can't recommend enough!

Overall loved my stay and will be back. Host was extremely accommodating and pleasant to meet. The site had level areas and room for multiple people! You can hear the neighbors and their dogs but I still found it very private. There's still plenty of birds to hear ☺️ The host has set up a beautiful gazebo with a large fan that my dog really enjoyed. I slept on the porch swing and it was so nice. The only real issue was that I barely managed to pull my truck into the site and had to get help getting out because it was a super tight squeeze. The host has an area right before you pull in that you can park at so ask him about it! I was going to stay longer but someone had booked - if it is available I would definitely consider booking this spot!

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.

We got to meet the hosts this time and they were wonderful and gave us fresh blueberries from their own blueberry bushes. :) we love this spot because are dogs can be (mostly) free to hang out and swim.
