Dark Hollow Park is all that you could ask for—beautiful views, easy and accessible camping spots, a well-stocked fire pit, privacy, and a cacophony of wildlife sounds at dusk and dawn. We pulled in and set up camp, retiring to the back of our station wagon for sleep. It was perfect. And we’ll be back.

Troy was a great host. Put me right up by the barn and gave men hens’ and quail eggs. He even let me have a little fire in the evening despite other restrictions. The property was quiet and peaceful—beautiful branch at the rear of the property that was flowing out of its banks due to rain.
