Hidden Hollow Camp features a beautiful one-acre woodland pond and two nature trails. In geographical terms, a “hollow” is exactly as it sounds – a small valley or basin in the land. At the bottom of Hidden Hollow is the West Fork of the East Branch of the Black River. The rich soil of its floodplain is home to towering sycamore, black willow, and black walnut trees -- along with a diverse array of wildflowers. The trees and thickets here provide ideal habitat for migrating warblers. Visitors should plan on bird-watching during spring and fall migration.
The enclosed building at Hidden Hollow Camp offers the perfect amenities for an “indoor camping” experience for up to 75 people, including a wood-burning stove, scenic wraparound porch, movie screen, electric range, food preparation tables, and a refrigerator. Alcohol is permitted inside the enclosed building only when reserved for day-use or camping.
Although there is no indoor plumbing, the frost-proof water spigots with potable water are easily accessible at two outdoor locations. A gray-water pit for disposal of dirty dish water is located adjacent to the toilets. The site includes a campfire ring surrounded with plenty of flexible bench seating and a parade ground area with a flagpole for scout ceremonies. There are turf areas for outdoor recreation activities and a team-building challenge course.
The general public has the option to overnight camp at Hidden Hollow Camp on Friday and/or Saturday evenings only. Neither RVs nor travel trailers will be allowed. Tent camping is permissible in addition to the use of the enclosed facility. Only one reservation is permitted per day.
I go there and I’m 15 and it’s my 5th year and it is the best place ever I love it and I have made so many friends
Wonderful camp experience for kids up to 15 years old. They offer 6 weeks per summer of traditional camp experience in cabins. Kids enjoy the counselors, activities, and food and come home happy and tired. 👍😄
I give this star 5 stars as years as a camper, of several years and many weeks of camp. However, as a strict Christian Conservative, as an employee, as both a K.P. (Kitchen Helper/Person) and a Camp Counselor for one summer…I give this camp an honest 2 stars. I was not hired back as a Camp Counselor, even after being voted as a Camp Counselor Camper Favorite. The reason being by Camping Directors Thelda Dillon and others was that I “refused to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance to a Flag” with an idol (a Golden Eagle) with my hand over my heart. To me, this is direct idol worship.I follow the bible. I respectfully stood by our Country’s Flag quietly but refused to worship a false idol, a Golden Eagle, and continue to not worship false idols to this day. I never preached my beliefs to campers. I am absolutely heartbroken over Hidden Hollow’s decision to not rehire me, to this day.
I love this place❤ My son has been going to camp here for years. He always has a good time. Staff are amazing! He does horse back riding, archery, crafts, swimming and so much more. It's a great camp for any child.
