Spring and fall offer peaceful camping with fewer crowds and comfortable temperatures, while winter transforms the trails into cross-country skiing routes for cold-weather adventurers. Summer brings warmth and activity, though you'll want to pack insect repellent during the warmer months when bugs are most active.

About Sleepy Hollow Campground

Nestled along the shores of Lake Ovid, Sleepy Hollow Campground welcomes you to a tranquil retreat where sandy beaches meet shaded forest trails. Whether you're pulling in with a full-sized RV to one of our paved sites, pitching a tent in a secluded walk-in spot, or exploring miles of multi-use trails, you'll find the perfect balance of natural escape and modern convenience—all just a short drive from local amenities.

Modern campground serving tents and RVs with a mix of site types including paved pull‑through pads and rustic walk‑in sites.

Natural Features and SceneryLake Ovid sparkles at the heart of this scenic getaway, its man-made waters surrounded by gentle hills cloaked in hardwood forest and sun-dappled meadows. Your campsite awaits beneath a canopy of mature trees that offer natural shade and a sense of seclusion, while the inviting sandy beach beckons for afternoon swims. Four-legged friends get their own dedicated beach area, and an extensive network of trails winds through the woods, connecting you to the peaceful rhythms of the forest.
