Welcome to BEYONDER Getaway at Sleepy Hollow, a family-friendly RV park and campground in Oxford, Iowa. Just off Interstate 80, we're just minutes away from Iowa City.
We offer pull-through and back-in RV sites, private cabins, primitive tent sites, and golf cart rentals. Some sites are located by our relaxing catch-and-release fishing lake. Other sites are terraced sites, nestled on a beautiful tree-covered hill. And we're close to Eastern Iowa's most popular destinations, including Lake MacBride, Coralville Reservoir, Kalona Amish Community, and the Amana Colonies.
At BEYONDER Getaway at Sleepy Hollow, we go out of our way to offer our guests a comfortable, relaxing camping experience. Choose from pull-through and back-in RV sites with full hook-ups (30 amps or 50 amps) and back-in water-and-electric-only sites. We also have private cabins, perfect for families or couples. And, for folks that want to rough it, we have a number of primitive tent sites available.
When you stay at BEYONDER Getaway at Sleepy Hollow, you can have a great time without ever leaving the property. Enjoy our playgrounds, pool, fishing pond, beachfront, and more. For your convenience, we also have shower and laundry facilities and a stocked camp store. We even have soft-serve ice cream!

The renaissance festival is a great experience, with a lot to offer for kids and adults. Food and drinks are delicious and only slightly pricey at $5 a drink and $9 for a Turkey leg. So much to see and do you can't fit it all into a single day!
Order of Wrath live steel fighting was the best event, in my opinion. Where many of the other shows feel scripted, these warriors clash in a live, gladiator style arena that I felt was the most realistic and exciting show of the day! The joust was worth checking out as well, and interacting with the friendly characters throughout the festival really makes the experience unique.
I would say five stars, except that it cost sixty-nine bucks just for me and my Daughter to get through the gate. That left me with very little cash for vendors. Neither the event nor most of the vendors take credit cards. If the park took credit cards (or charged a reasonable amount at the gate) I could have used my cash to buy souvenirs. I have several Friends who bend at Sleepy Hollow and they didn't make much (partially because of the turn-out, probably due to weather, but also because they charge exhorbitantly for vendor space, too). Otherwise, it was a five star experience.
Suggestion: Let vendors vend outside of the gate in the space between the bridge and the entrance and/or in the parking lot just before the bridge, too & charge them like half the amount. That way patrons could shop on the way in and out...
Over all this place has some potential. The staff I engaged with was extremely nice. It was very once that they have everything you need there, including boots for a few extra dollars.
Only half the area had snow on it. I was told it's because it has been to warm and they needed it to be below 27 degrees to make snow. I found this odd because it has been below that temp for several days prior to visiting. They still charge full price even though only half of the place is available.
It seemed a little crowded because of the lack of snow, but lots of people. The slope was a little aggressive for young beginners and I seen a few people, including my son get hurt. If they had more snow and some beginner/learning slopes that would have been helpful.
Would I go back? Sure, but not anytime soon, maybe if we are back in the area next year.
Went for renn fair. Was a blast but I wish they would have it set up differently. Hard to make sure to go down every road to make sure you can see all the businesses. The ones I enjoyed the most were all the way off the the side . Great time great people and cool merchandise
To be fully honest, I've only been here for renfest, which you also have to time travel to get to so I'm not sure what the hollow is like in this century.
