I grew up around the corner from Sleepy Hollow and it is such a beautiful and serene place. Great for kayaking and fishing. My first school was actually at the corner of Shepardsville and Price Road.

I will also add - I have a lot of fond memories from Sleepy Hollow growing up. One of my friends dad was a DNR officer there!

Our first time there. We were surprised how nice the park was!

We totally need to spend more time in Michigan. We're embarrassed to say that we've only spent 3 nights at the Soo Locks. Who goes to the U.P. for only 3 nights? We'll get there again... We loved the coffee footage at the beginning. We use a percolator as well.

We love coffee! I'm debating taking a small roaster with us so I can custom roast green beans. We will be in the UP in June - Indian Lake and Palms Book area. Kitch-iti-kipi spring in Palms Book is amazing! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Yeah only three days in the Soo is just a little taste of things to see and do up there! 3 days is better than nothing, hopefully you at least got to see Tahquamenon Falls and Point Iroquois lighthouse!

@@airstreamerwe spent a week around Munising and Pictured Rocks in May 2021 then a beautiful fall color tour week in the Keweenaw Peninsula in October 2021. We loved both those long trips, and for the Keweenaw trip we actually rode the S.S. Badger car ferry from Ludington to Manitowoc WI across Lake Michigan to shave off 4 hours of the 9 hour drive to get to the Keweenaw. Copper Country is so interesting and beautiful in the fall color season. But a winter vacay up there would be too cold for us 😂 You just can't beat Lake of the Clouds in fall colors....

I need to start exploring Michigan, very neat and clean. Nice overview, well done.

Thank you. We’ve stayed at many Michigan State Parks, and most are like this one. There’s plenty to explore in Michigan.

This is a great video Jim! It gives you all the info that you need to determine if this would be a good place for people to stay at. Great look around. My mom and stepdad used to camp at this state park, it's only about 60 miles away from Jackson.

Thanks, Paul. This was our first time to SHSP. We were really impressed! Definitely worth the stay. Take care!

All kinds of wildlife in this park, much of it nocturnal. Keep a pair of earplugs with you when nature gets too loud.

We have walked the trails at Sleepy Hollow, around the lake and through the prairie lands near the rental cabins. It's a nice small State Park and I don't think it ever gets as crowded as the big parks like Ludington State Park or like Mackinac Island is packed all summer long

@airstreamer Жыл бұрын

Michigan has some truly great state parks. We avoid Ludington, Holland, and other crowded parks. Tawas is a favorite, and we just discovered Otsego Lake. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@georgekn3mp Жыл бұрын

@@airstreamer I agree Ludington State Park can be hard just getting into the park in the summer, just waiting to pass the main gate. Holland State Park is like that too. We have visited almost every state park but our favorites have been Wilderness State Park, Straits State Park and our closest local State Park, Seven Lakes in Holly. Lakeport and Sleeper and Port Crescent are great parks too up in the Thumb. We also love Tawas State Park, that's about a two hour drive from where we live in Macomb County. It's shrinking fast, half flooded half the time.

@airstreamer Жыл бұрын

@@georgekn3mp if you didn’t know, we’re based in Port Huron through August, then we hit the road full time. I grew up in Holland, and got sunburned at that beach every summer. 🌞 The west coast of Michigan is so beautiful!

@georgekn3mp Жыл бұрын

@@airstreamer definitely the Sunrise Side and Sunset side are so different, there are some nice beaches along Lake Huron but definitely a lot more on the west coast. For us, the rocky beaches along Lake Huron are even more fun for rock hunting compared to the sandy beaches on the west side. We love a day trip to the Mighty Mac and back, we just need to get to Rockport State Park someday. The only park we haven't been to along the east coast.

So, I live in Michigan, in fact, not far from sleepy Hollow. It has been my experience that this is one of the not so nice state parks. It’s ok and a great place to camp for your first time with a camper or whatever gear you use. But there are a lot nicer camping options throughout the State.

Life long Michigan residents ourselves... well, we're now South Dakota residents since June! 😁 The great thing about Michigan State Parks is their variety. Our favorites include Higgins Lake, Indian Lake, Tawas, and Metamora Hadley. We recently discovered Otsego Lake, what a gem! This was our first time visiting Sleepy Hollow, and it was a much better park than we expected. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

@@airstreamer we will be moving to NC soon. But our favorite Michigan State park is young state park. Or Grand Haven.

@airstreamer 10 ай бұрын

I don't think we have stayed at either of them. Lakeport SP (just north of where we have lived for over 30 years) is one of our least favorite, and it's incredibly busy! Best wishes on your move.

Leave it to a Democratic voter to bring politics into a camping video. Go camping see the wilderness and leave CNN, MSNBC at home. 😂
