There seems to be a confusion in English language between the far side of the moon (the side not facing towards earth) and the dark half of the moon, the part not illuminated by the sun as earth and moon revolve around a common center about 1/7th of the way from Earth to Moon.
The far side of the moon has been photographed and cartographed by both manned and robotic orbiters. It undergoes the same changes from light to dark as does the visible side of the moon. When we see a new moon, the far side is practically fully lit, when we see a full moon, it is practically dark.
There are lots of myths about places we know that exist but which we cannot see, like the far side of the moon or earth orbit behind the sun. Apparently such unseeable places attract mystery theories and urban myths. Treat any such information as probably mythical.

Pink Floyd's super secret hideaway clubhouse
Oh, and Jimmy Hoffa, Marilyn Monroe, Jim Morrison, Elvis, and JFK, all alive and well.
PS- No, Uatu the Watcher does not live there nor does he have a building there. He actually lives in Toledo, Ohio near the north end dairy queen.
The Inhumans are not there either, they lost their lease nearly 30 years ago, so they packed everything into a groovy purple and orange van and moved to Nepal.
There is nothing on the dark side of the moon that is not on the visible side. Just rocks and dust.
Don't believe the conspiracy, don't believe the hype- it's all designed to take focus away from the real story!

The far (not visible) side of the moon is not really dark. It's lit for the same amount of time as the side that we see.
The far side of the moon looks very different and is much more cratered that what we see. This is theorized to be caused by the gravitational forces of the Earth affecting magma outflows when the moon was formed.
Here's a picture of the far side: http://www.morehead.unc.edu/Shows/EMS/image%20pages/far%20side%20of%20the%20moon.htm

The Russians are the best source of pictures of the moon, as they were the first to do recon of the moon's surface and of the far side of the moon.. I did find an archive supplied online with some of the pictures they took.

The side of the moon that we never see isn't dark all the time; it's just that it's always turned away from us. But like the side we can see, it gets two weeks of sun followed by two weeks of darkness. You can easily see photos of it; the first ones were taken by the Russian Lunik probe in 1959. It looks like the side we can see, except there are more craters.

the dark side of the moon is just tahe part of the moon. the reason we cant see it is because the dark part is earths shadow on the moon.
