Iowa is home to 947 cities (thanks to the fact that everything here is a city!), and more than half of them have fewer than 500 residents. In fact, some of our favorite towns (Balltown, St. Donatus, and Silver City) have fewer than 250 residents! That means that it’s not hard to find Iowa campgrounds that are bigger than many Iowa small towns… but how many campgrounds could exist on their own, with enough entertainment and amenities to keep your family happy without having to leave the resort? We can think of one that’s certainly worth a visit - Sleepy Hollow Campground!
Sleepy Hollow Campground near Oxford, Iowa is a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere.
This beautiful lakeside campground features sites with full hookups, so you can bring your RV and not have to worry about "roughing it".
If you don't have an RV, you can rent one of the park's beautiful cabins! They include electricity, A/C, a mini-fridge, and a microwave. You'll need to bring your own linens.
Sleepy Hollow Campground prides itself on being a family-friendly spot where you'll have an amazing vacation. Swim in the pool...
... or splash in the lake! You'll also find some fine fishing in these waters, so bring your rod and reel.
Every weekend, the staff at Sleepy Hollow Campground put together a slew of activities and events to entertain all of their guests.
Kids will love their creative ideas, like this tie-dye slip-and-slide!
Occasionally, Sleepy Hollow even lights off Fireworks above the lake.
Kids and adults will both appreciate the air-conditioned, indoor picnic and arcade area. It's perfect for relaxing and socializing in the heat of the day.
Most camp stores are just a few rows of often-forgotten essentials, but the store here is a full-fledged market! You won't have to leave the grounds to restock during your vacation.
Plan your stay at Sleepy Hollow Campground but be prepared to book well in advance, as this super campground fills up quickly.
