This is a "boondocking" campground open once yearly for EAA's yearly convention and airshow, Airventure. Thousands camp there in 20x30 foot campsites with tents, campers, and even airplanes for the convenience of being near the airshow, forums, and displays. The hot and cold water showers are near-military style: numerous large buildings divided by shower curtains with kitchen sprayers as the showers. Sinks are troughs that 25-30 can use at the same time. Bathrooms are trucked in and well maintained/clean portable toilet units. Potable water supplies are centrally located for campers as are several "camp stores". Portable hand cleaning stations and diaper changing stations are strategically placed. If you are an aviation buff, want safety for your family and children, don't mind the lack of any hookups, love crowds and getting to know others with similar interests, and want to look at new technologies at a minute's notice, Camp Scholler IS the place to stay! Otherwise, you might want to avoid it. We've camped here in tents and travel trailers each year for the past 12 years. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed a week during EAA airventure this year. No AC allowed this week as campground is filled to capacity. this was detractor as temps were high several days. Site was entirely shaded with full hookup. Water extremely hard with iron. Not campground fault, just the water. Excellent store on location, laundry is fair at best. Had to back in site but had full hookup rather than just power. Folks operating are very nice and outgoing. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Sleepy Hollow is a "specialized" private campground/RV park that primarily caters to the gigantic annual EAA Convention/Fly-in, and is located immediately outside the function's main entrance. They also open for other summer "happenings" in the Oshkosh area or on-demand for group functions. Unlike the EAA's adjacent Camp Scholler (see reviews), Sleepy Hollow provides 50-amp electric (a life-saver in the hot humid Oshkosh summer!). There is water hookup, but no sewer. Pump-outs can be arranged. Sites are quite tightly packed but most are fully shaded and overall the facility is very pleasant, certainly more so than the EAA open field alternative. "Semi-portable" bathrooms and showers are provided and while not fancy are kept quite clean. Most clients are RVers but there are tent sites and a few very basic "cabins" that are air-conditioned. Reservations well in advance are essential and for the EAA function you must book multi-day, either full week or first half / second half. For RVers, this is by far your best bet at EAA Oshkosh. We camped here in a Motorhome.
