There is no literal "dark side of the Moon"; both sides get light when they face the sun as they go around the Earth every 29 or so days. Most people mean the Far Side of the Moon. That can't be seen from Earth. The last humans to see it were the Apollo 17 crew. I am not positive but I think the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter was the last piece of NASA gear to see it. The LRO could see so sharply that you could see the Apollo landers, sometimes so clearly you could see the LM footpads and the trails the astronauts left in the lunar dust. Even some of the gear could be identified. So much for the "they never went" crowd!I am posting some links about this, below.
