    Ovid, Michigan

    Located just 20 minutes north of Lansing, Sleepy Hollow State Park is an idyllic getaway for anyone needing some time away from the city. The 2,600 acre park is situation on Price Road off US-27 making it easily accessible to people passing through. That being the case, the park still maintains its charm and accommodates campers and visitors every day without issue. The Little Maple river can be found winding in and out of the forested geography, with Lake Ovid situated right in the heart, thanks to the clever placement of a dam. Visitors come from all over to enjoy the scenic landscapes, birdwatching opportunities, and Winter Snowshoeing.

    During the Spring, camp rangers host the weekly Sleepy Hollow State Park Nature program, which educates campers about local wildlife and the history of the surrounding regions. This is a great opportunity for families to spend some time together, especially after a long day of hiking and camping.

    Surprisingly, it’s during the winter that this park is most frequently attended. In fact, Sleepy Hollow is most recognized for the miles of snowshoeing and cross country skiing trails that run through the land. The trails are well-traveled, however there’s no shortage of privacy to get out and find peace and quiet within the confines of a forest muted by snow.

    Camping here is easily accessible. Michigan Residents can utilize their State Park Recreation Passport to get in for free. Otherwise, entrance rates are $11 for residents, and $16 for non-residents. If camping, full-service campsites start at $25/night, while walk-in rustic sites are only $17/night. Furthermore, if camping in a tent doesn’t sound like your thing there are onsite cabins available for rent at $68 per night. If you want electricity and a full-service cabin, Deluxe Cabins can be rented for $101 a night.

What to do:

  • Fishing: Head to Bishop Lake Campground for some great fishing spots. A visitor noted, "I have not camped here but had a family member use the campground while visiting the area. They spoke very highly of it. Great fishing spot."
  • Beach Activities: Enjoy the sandy shores at Lakeport State Park Campground. One review highlighted, "The beach was rocky so don’t forget to pack some water shoes but the rocky beach comes with finding cool rocks to either paint or just collect!"

What campers like:

  • Friendly Staff: Campers often mention the helpfulness of the staff. A visitor at Bay City State Park Campground noted, "Friendly staff. Clean grounds."

What you should know:

  • Noise Levels: Some campgrounds can be noisy, especially during peak seasons. A camper at Lakeport State Park Campground remarked, "This is a noisy, crowded, smokey RV park with no privacy."
  • Mosquitoes: Be prepared for bugs, especially in the summer. A visitor at Algonac State Park Campground mentioned, "The mosquitoes were extremely bad this year."
  • Limited Amenities: Some campgrounds may not have all the amenities you expect. A reviewer at Bruin Lake Campground said, "The only downside was that there were only pit toilets."

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Levels: Some sites can be sloped, making it tricky to park your RV. A camper at McGinnis Lake Modern Campground noted, "I wouldn't pick site 93 however as the pavement is sloped and the whole site is sloped quite steep."
  • Bring Extension Cords: Some sites may require longer cords for electricity. A reviewer at Bay City State Park Campground suggested, "Recommend to have extension cord for some sites, as plug in can be far."
  • Plan for Dump Stations: Be aware of where the nearest dump stations are located. A visitor at Lakeport State Park Campground mentioned, "You get electric, period. Dump station available, potable water available there."
