Sleepy Hollow Farm vs Scholler

[malexander]

Sleepy Hollow sounds like a great spot; water & electric, lower cost, you won't be living out on 41, and you will actually have some trees around. I imagine the only two negatives are the Beer Tent noise, and that you'll get ridiculed on this forum for not being a true EAA member/supporter.

I actually think the beer tent shuts down at midnight, because it gets pretty quiet about then.

Thanks for all of the replies! Sounds like it will be Sleepy Hollow for us.

Cost isn’t so much of an issue, but it is nice not to spend it needlessly. This is the one time that my brother, myself and our Dad will be able to do this trip together and we would do whatever it takes to make this a great trip. What we would spend on the extra 20 something nights to secure a water/electric site will sure buy some fuel for the trip in a 182 from California. We are renting a trailer and having it delivered, the nice thing about Sleepy Hollow is that if for some reason we aren’t there at delivery, they can still drop the trailer.

I’ve also read that to purchase the extra days in Scholler that you must be present but have not been able to confirm this with EAA. That’s a challenge coming from so far out. I wish there was more information from EAA as to what the actual rules are. I know for certain that we must be present for trailer delivery, which I’m fine with as long as we don’t run into weather or any other issues on the trip out. When I called Member Services to ask about purchasing extra days, the girl I spoke to was unsure of whether we had to be there to do that or not. Just advised me to start calling on June 27^th when they start selling the sites and see how many are left, and to call every day until the number of sites left gets low.

Thanks again for the replies, I can’t wait to get there.

Can you pass on who you are renting the trailer from. I have a old junker I keep stored outside down the road, but given this past winter that they have had there, not sure if the roof will still be there! Maybe Hal would volunteer to drive by Barr Storage behind the Planeview Truck stop for me and see if it is still standing! Would like to have a plan B. Thanks!

I've rented from Von Boxtel in Green Bay before. Several other friends have rented from firms in Madison, but I don't recall thier names. There was several companies in the Fox Valley renting that have had problems the last couple of years with ownership changes, etc. You can also find private rentals on Craigslist, but that's caveat emptor. I know of both positive and negative stories, but that all depends on the character of individual you rent from.


As it stands now, I plan on camping in HBC next to my RV-10 this year.

Sounds like what you are doing is the exact same thing I am doing. Going to OSH with my brother and dad. Also will be staying at SH and renting a trailer.
