We only stayed for a short weekend so we didn’t do too much exploring. Sleepy Hollow State Park Playground Pavilion.Sleepy Hollow State Park Secluded Sites.As you’ll see in my photos it was empty the day we visited because of the less-than-great weather. The beach area is big but since its open to the public I imagine its rather crowded on warm summer days. There is a public beach located in the park but it was at least a 15-minute walk to the water (I didn’t time us so don’t quote me!) and much of the walk is through a parking lot that I imagine may be a bit dangerous to navigate with kids during peak season. We really liked how the playground was separate from campsites so you didn’t have to worry about the kids bother others campers and so they were kind of contained in the space. The playground was AMAZING! Our kids would have spent much more time there if it hadn’t been so rainy. The campground offered newer, clean restrooms in both the North and South sections. Our favorites are the sites on the outer edges. We walked the entire campground looking for sites we’d like to try and found there are plenty of great sites. The South loops are a bit more open but most have more vegetation/privacy between sites than we’ve seen in other campgrounds. It was one of the most private campsites we’ve ever camped on! Most of the campsites in the North loops offer the same kind of privacy. The campsite was very private with lots of trees and leaves making it feel like our own space tucked away from other campers. We camped on site 25 in the North section of the park. We hope we’ll have better weather for our next trip because it rained almost the entire weekend! Sleepy Hollow State Park Campsite We’ll definitely be back to this park but have decided this park would be best to visit in the Spring and Fall.
