Its only 15 minutes from the city, yet its out in nature with a bit of indigenous forest growing along the Maitland River flowing through the valley in which Sleepy Hollow is situated.

Sleepy Hollow caravan and camp site

Sleepy Hollow caravan park truly is one of Port Elizabeth’s best kept secrets. It is situated in the Maitland River Valley and is a real get back to nature spot. That is if some idiot doesn’t play his music loud enough for the whole camp to hear. But them you occasionally find in all camping [...]
