Best Time to Camp at Sleepy Hollow Group Youth Camp

Summer brings warm days ideal for lake activities—just pack insect repellent to keep the bugs at bay. When winter transforms the landscape, those same trails become cross-country skiing and snowshoeing routes through a snowy wonderland. Since seasonal conditions can affect trail access and amenities, it's always a good idea to check current conditions with the park before your visit.

Best

4.5 / 5

Summer ideal for swimming, paddling, fishing; many recent positive summer reviews.

Fall(Sep-Nov)
4.0 / 5

Spring(Mar-May)
3.5 / 5

Spring offers trail access and quieter visiting, though bugs and variable weather are noted.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
3.0 / 5

Trails used for XC skiing and snowshoeing, but lake activities are limited in winter.

Planning Tips

    About Sleepy Hollow Group Youth Camp

    Nestled within the beautiful Sleepy Hollow State Park on the shores of Lake Ovid, this rustic group youth camp offers the perfect blend of woodland adventure and lakeside fun. Your group will enjoy a semi-wooded open space that puts you steps away from scenic trails, sparkling waters, and all the recreational activities the park has to offer.
    Group/youth campground classified as 'Rustic (basic facilities)'; typically an open group space rather than numbered individual pads.
