Tent camped here and had a great time. A quiet and small state park. No showers. Fairly close to Colonel Dennings SP.

This is a little hidden gem that I had mixed feelings about leaving a review – the more people that discover Fowler’s Hollow, the harder it will be to reserve a site. There are only 11 sites for campers, one of which is for the Camp Host, and they all have nice large shady areas with a little stream running behind the sites. Being such a small, intimate camp ground, everyone was extremely friendly. There are no shower facilities, but the bathrooms are nice and clean. There are plenty of trails right around the campground to explore. Some are a little overgrown due to not having a lot of campers using them, but there are also trails that are used for horseback riding. Upon entering the state park there is a large parking area for horse trailers. While we were camping we saw several occasions where groups were coming for horseback riding.
The campground is well away from any highways our big cities, so there was absolutely no highway noises and no light pollution at night to view the stars.
We camped over Labor Day weekend and had plenty of hummingbirds visiting as soon as we put up a feeder. We even had an owl greet us on our first day. Not too far from the campground are trails going through a hemlocks natural area – the trail goes along a stream with lots of mossy rocks, so trekking poles are suggested. There is a beautiful overlook of Fowler’s Hollow on the way up to the hemlocks natural area.
After our bad experience in Findley State Park in Ohio where an untethered pit bull attacked and nearly killed our little dog, it was such a relief to be back at a campground where we feel safe again. We will definitely be back – we’re guessing that it would be extremely beautiful in the fall.
If you are a tent camper without the need for an electric hookup, they also have a handful of walk in camp sites that looked nice.

This campground is quiet and small tucked in the Tuscarora mountains. The “sister” to Colonel Denning Campground acx the Tuscarora mountain range. There are awesome hiking opportunities and an impressive wild mushroom collection.

Had a wonderful couple days camping here. A very nice quiet campground. The bathrooms were fairly new and clean, no showers though. Nice hiking trails from the campground.

Great spot! A little meandering creek, a dog area, good hiking trails (except one Rising Mountain, take Hemlock or Perry Lumber, or watch the fork in the road). We couldn’t find showers. Otherwise, I would rate it at 5 stars. Many tent sites are right by the creek.
