Sleepy Hollow State Park Campground accepts pets at all campsites with spacious, wooded sites that provide privacy for camping with dogs. Located near Laingsburg, this 180-acre park offers electric hookups, drinking water access, and clean shower facilities for campers traveling with animals. The campground features both drive-in and hike-in options, with pet-friendly accommodations including tent sites, RV spots, and cabins. Leashed pets are welcome throughout the park, including along the trails and designated pet swimming areas. Campers note the park's dog-friendly beaches, though some reviews mention the small size and seasonal algae at the dog beach. Firepit areas and picnic tables at each site provide comfortable spaces for campers and their pets to relax together. Campgrounds R Us and Walnut Hills Family Campground also welcome pets with similar amenities and access to water recreation.
The extensive trail system surrounding Lake Ovid provides multiple pet exercise options with miles of hiking paths where leashed dogs can accompany their owners. Rangers actively patrol the grounds and strictly enforce quiet hours, which helps maintain a peaceful environment but means barking must be controlled. Winter camping options exist for cold-weather enthusiasts with pets, as Sleepy Hollow remains open year-round. Nearby disc golf, fishing docks, and a playground offer additional recreation while camping with dogs. Pet owners should bring extension cords for electrical hookup access, as several reviews mention outlets being positioned too far from some campsites. The beach area requires a half-mile walk or short drive from the campground, something to consider when planning activities with pets. Campers frequently mention the clean facilities and well-maintained grounds that make for comfortable pet-friendly camping experiences.

GuideNice Park Nice park for full timers. Large spots to accommodate big rigs and kids. Full hook ups. Cell service great with Verizon hotspot(22u, 20d, 38ms and AT&T cell(27d, 20u, 27ms). Playgrounds everywhere for the kids. Giant dog park and ponds. Pool was closed. Just needs more grass. Our spot was really patchy and resulted in a lot of mud. Great campground with polite and helpful staff. Don’t pass this one up.

TravelerGreat opportunities for winter sports. Pools, lakes, mini golf. Designed for young families. Pet friendly but has restrictions on the type of dog.
TravelerQuietly tucked into Clinton co Michigan. Sleepy is easily accessible. Its close to Lansing. There are shopping centers nearby. Country party store is closer!! Very large lake....Ovid is her name! Offers many species of fish for catching!! There are fishing docks, ONE IS NOT VERY ACCESSIBLE TO NON AMBULATORY PERSONS !!! THIS ONE'S IN THE CAMP AREA! The path is nicely groomed. The bea h is a long way from the parking lot a d there is no beach access from camp. The park is usually a clean family place...but for really young children or elderly persons it may. Ot be your first choice. I live nearby and have camped there zillions of times. I love it and shower bouses in camp are clean! Friendly staff a d they ate SERIOUS about quiet time! Bug spray required !!
ScoutThis is a quiet, friendly and family campground. The staff is very willing to help any way they can. The sites are level and spacious.
A great place for the kids! With a beach, playground and paved roads is nice but the frosting in this cake is the petting zoo. Animals from bunnies, peacocks & cats to horses, goats and of course Milton the burro, get it? Milton Burro, LOL
The store has stuff for the kids at very reasonable prices and the ice cream shop across the street is a nice walk after dinner. There's a light there for safe crossing, too.
Try this place, you'll add this to your good memories.
No credit or debit cards. Cash and checks only.
RangerA fun little campground with a nice bunch of petting zoo type animals! The beach is clean and the lake is warm! Very nice layout with walking trail around the lake. The only complaint was not nearly enough trash cans around (like, none easy to find) and the bathrooms were nasty for our 2 day visit. Price per night for full hook up was $40 :-)
