About Sleepy Hollow Campgrounds

Campground in New York.

Nestled in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, Sleepy Hollow Campgrounds offers RV travelers an authentic escape into one of New York's most enchanting regions. Located in Phoenicia, a charming village steeped in history and natural beauty, this public campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the stunning landscapes and attractions that have made the Catskills a beloved destination for generations.

Phoenicia itself is a gateway to some of the most picturesque scenery in the Northeast. The Esopus Creek, famous for both fly fishing and tubing, flows right through the area, drawing outdoor enthusiasts from across the region. Whether you're an angler looking to test your skills in pristine waters or someone seeking a leisurely float down the creek on a warm summer day, the opportunities for water-based recreation are exceptional. The creek's cool, clear waters provide a refreshing escape during hot months, and the surrounding forests create a verdant canopy that keeps the area feeling cool and inviting.

The broader Catskill region offers endless hiking opportunities for campers of all skill levels. Trails ranging from gentle riverside walks to challenging mountain peaks are accessible from the Phoenicia area. For those seeking shorter outings, the village itself features walkable streets lined with local shops, galleries, and restaurants that reflect the area's artistic and cultural heritage. The community has attracted musicians, artists, and craftspeople, giving Phoenicia a creative energy that's palpable throughout the village.

This location appeals particularly to families seeking a mountain retreat with easy access to both outdoor adventures and small-town charm. Retirees will appreciate the slower pace and scenic drives through the surrounding countryside. Anglers will find themselves in paradise with world-class fly fishing opportunities. Adventure seekers can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and exploring the natural wonders of the Catskill Mountains. The moderate climate and four-season beauty means Sleepy Hollow Campgrounds welcomes visitors throughout the year, each season offering its own distinct character and activities.

We camped here for 2 seasons. The campground is always kept immaculate, bathrooms are always spotless and attended to often during the day. Wyatt and his wife were always friendly and accommodating to all our requests and need for assistance.

The campground is always kept immaculate, bathrooms are always spotless and attended to often during the day. Wyatt and his wife were always friendly and accommodating to all our requests and need for assistance. Nestled on the bank of the Esopus Creek and just 1 mile from the quaint and quiet little town of Phoenicia. This campground is like an oasis. There are seasonal sites, group sites, and available riverside sites. The creek is a great spot for trout fishing and swimming when the water is high enough (which is often). The only thing I would change, is for them to be open all year round. But due to state and local regulations they can't. Also everyone needs a break after a busy summer season at Sleepy Hollow. I look forward to the day I can bring my grandkids there to enjoy what I and my children enjoyed.

Was there, extended, due to tire problems, while working on that, Wyatt made me leave campground. In converter, Wyatt insisted must sleep outside, at night, irregardless of bears, (just came from a place with a rattlesnake at site), weather, personal preference or threat or recovering from injuries. Attempts were made to reason with Wyatt and Wanda, this forced leaving, at a paid site, and a local for 40 years, neat, clean, organized, working remotely on huge issues, this action caused impedment of reunification with my children, caused such significant damage to my suv, in addition to towings, the suv was totaled. Lost all electrical, no ac/no heat, all blew out from forced "leave now". And a local for 40 years, do the math on age, and injuries, causing disability. So the "leave now" impeded an older, disabled, neat, clean, local (2 states) paying woman, from fixing the tire, to avoid issues. I'm sure an ADA advocate would see the multitude of issues here, at this flawed area.

I had a seasonal site for two summers and this was probably the best campground I have ever stayed at. Ken the owner, was always super helpful and his family was always willing to help out with anything you needed. I has a riverfront site (28) and it was so peaceful. The campground is located directly across the street from the Phoenicia diner and only two minutes to the quaint hamlet of Phoenici...

I'm a full timer now and look forward to spending a summer there again.

Warning: If any campground is private call ahead and make a reservation.DO NOT ENTER PRIVATE LAND without prior notification and reservations. What's wrong with y'all! In addition there are no cabins in this private campground. Security for campers and their belongings is paramount for all campground owners. If your visiting or exploring any private campground do it in a sensible hr and follow the signs to the office and introduce yourself. It's common sense. Take your loved ones, friends and family camping. Bring your fishing poles and water toys for the Esopus River. Perfect spot. But Please, don't forget your common sense.

We have been camping here for the past 5 years and it is truly our favorite place. Very quiet, clean , beautiful sites by the stream, full hook ups, Wi-Fi and dog friendly! The owner Wyatt is the perfect host. Always very accommodating and will even deliver firewood to your site..
