Big Hollow Recreation Area

We stayed in the off grid cabin over Memorial Day weekend. What a wonderful experience it was! We chose the off grid cabin because there weren't any camping spots open but wanted to stay here. One of the things I love most is that this cabin was far away from the campground so it truly was like having a cabin in the woods experience with no one around. We couldn't hear any park activity... at all! Some notes: *Bring a thin air mattress or foam. The mattresses provided are hard. They are regular height beds so if you bring a really thick air mattress, you'd be up really high off the ground. *The solar lights work in every room and have light switches *Bring gallon jugs of water for dishes, etc. There is a cistern with hand pump but the water that is gathered is rainwater from the gutters and was a little brown. *Porta potty is provided and clean-yay! * There is firewood for sale right near the Porta potty. 2 sticks for a dollar and they were good size! You can find kindling in the woods. * There is a gate that you can close to keep cars out. There was only one person that accidentally drove back and they quickly turned around. * There is enough parking room for a few vehicles and a boat. * The rental of the cabin comes with a Canoe, paddles & life jackets. It looked dirty so be prepared to do a little cleaning if you want to use it. It is parked at the end of a trail near the cabin. *There are 2 ponds on either side of the cabin-we caught fish in both of them. *Bring gnat / mosquito repellent *Relax and have a great time

Awesome place to get away from the house. They have hunting, fishing, shooting range, swimming, an observatory and a model airplane field as well as camping. Plenty to do for the whole family.

A very friendly and helpful camp host lots of things to do there fishing kyacking canoeing trails

Beautiful park and campground. Very well maintained and very clean. We loved our stay there and would definitely go back.

DMCC & the Aldo Leopold chapter of Pheasants Forever held a beginner shooting class for ages 10 and up. I took my youngest grandson, and he had a great time & also learned some firearm safety. I also didn't mind the refresher on safety for myself.

I like this lake, the death trees emerging from the water give me a good opportunity to take good pictures, a little challenging for kayaking, just be careful.

We had a nice time watching the kids catch fish that had a lot of fun it was a good experience
