Camping near Sleepy Hollow, Illinois
Sleepy Hollow sits in Kane County in Chicago's northwest suburbs, roughly an hour from downtown Chicago and within easy reach of the Fox River corridor and the Chain O' Lakes region. RV travelers use it as a base for family attractions, forest preserves, and lake recreation across McHenry, Kane, and Lake counties.
Campground options range from full-hookup private resorts to state park sites. Chicago Northwest KOA Holiday sits in a rural setting northwest of the city, within easy reach of I-90, and operates as a gated campground. Lehman's Lakeside RV Resort, Fish Lake Beach Camping Resort, and Sycamore RV Resort round out the private options, while Turner Lake South - Chain O Lakes State Park provides public camping near the water.
The 2,793 acre state park and adjoining 3,230 acre conservation area are located in the northeastern corner of Illinois in both McHenry and Lake counties, roughly 60 miles northwest of Chicago and 4 miles south of the Illinois-Wisconsin border. Turner Lake, a 44-acre lake in the park, allows electric trolling motors only. Between the state park loops and the private resorts, the area offers more than 230 sites for tents, trailers, and larger rigs.
Things to do near Sleepy Hollow
Water recreation drives most trips. The Chain O' Lakes system supports boating, paddling, and fishing, with boat and canoe rentals available seasonally through the park concessionaire.

Peak RV season runs late May through early October. Summer weekends and holidays fill fast, especially at waterfront sites. Reservations for Turner Lake Campground can be made through the ExploreMoreIL website, and the campground tends to fill up quickly on summer weekends, so booking in advance is recommended.
Shoulder seasons deliver the best value and lightest crowds. Spring brings wildflowers and steady rain, with late spring and early summer typically the wettest stretch in the Elgin area. Fall foliage peaks in October across the Fox River valley, with cool nights that call for a heater in the RV. The park is closed for all activities except hunting from the beginning of November through mid-December, and most private campgrounds close their water systems once temperatures drop consistently below freezing.
Winter camping is limited. Snow and hard freezes shut off hookups at most resorts, and the state park shifts primarily to day-use activities. The park is open every day except Christmas, with summer hours from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and shorter winter hours from 8 a.m. until sunset.

Very very helpful to have a sizable fridge and freezer. Microwave a big plus. Solar panels and Shore Power allowed us to use comfy air-connditioning. Thanks.

Bogdan is an incredible host. He patiently explained everything about the RV, was reachable and helpful when I needed some advice. Camper is well kept and is a labor of love. We really enjoyed the experience.
