I slept like a baby. There wasn’t a sound to be heard from anyone after 10:00pm. It was just me and the crickets, and the light sound of a mildly rushing creek going alongside my camp site. I truly enjoyed camping here, and the biggest highlight of my visit was a large 16 acre mountain lake filled with big bass, crappie, bream, and catfish.

The perfect part was that I was allowed to sit out at this lake and fish at night. Being able to sit out at a lake and fish at night is a rarity in Georgia, it seems as though every small lake or reservoir in Georgia is day use only. So I sat out there till around 9:45 at night. I caught several catfish, and two really nice bass off of a night crawler. Sitting out on the lake with my Coleman lantern, a fold up chair, my fishing rod, and my mp3 player made this an extremely relaxing way to end the evening.

The bath house was just comfortable enough, the scenery with large open fields reminded me of when me and a friend use to go camping on his grandfathers farm pastures when I was a kid. You literally feel as though you are camping on a mountain farm.

The entire area at 90 acres was large enough and being surrounded by national forest secluded enough to really bring you close to nature. There is camping for RV’s and tents, and you can opt for a tent site with electricity. RV storage is also available. There are full RV hookups available.

The office has a small camp store that stocks many things you would need including fish bait, misc. supplies, and firewood. The campground also has a large pavilion available making this a perfect site for a family reunion, with plenty of open fields to start up a few games if desired.

The campgrounds are just a scenic ten minute drive to Helen Georgia, and just a few miles to excellent dining such as the Unicoi Lodge breakfast, lunch, and dinner all you can eat buffet. The campground is private, and managed by a very hospitable older couple that was quick to offer up a warm greeting to a new customer. Sleepy Hollow Campground is definitely on my list of repeat visits. The sixteen acre mountain lake makes it well worth the visit, trust me when I say, there are some ten plus pound bass in this lake, and needless to say it is not over fished by all means.
