Cow Hollow Park

It’s located on a dead-end road and is very peaceful. It’s about 15 minutes from the nearest city and about 15 minutes from Snively Hot Springs. The pictures with water are at the Hot Springs. Bathrooms with a shower. The grounds are well-maintained, the bathrooms could be cleaned more often. But there is plenty of hot water.

Unique, old park with tons of grass and swings, teeter totters, tennis & basketball, baseball fields. Cost is $5...whether you use water & electricity hookups or just park. There are bathrooms with shower! The sites are gravel side by side and like I said, not pretty but the grounds, however unkempt, make up for it. You both see and smell cows, owls, doves and magpies. The camp hosts are lovely elderly people. From a stop on the Oregon Trail, to CCC camp, to Japanese Internment camp and now a privately run park...loads of history.

The hosts were kind enough to let me stay the evening anyway because it’s so far off the beaten path and I’m self-contained in my car with no need for amenities. But their season doesn’t officially start until April.

It cost five dollars a night according to the host I spoke with, and there is somebody on site at all times. It does feel a lot like just a standard city park but it’s quiet, and peaceful, and it’s about the only thing out in this area.
