WELCOME BACK!
From the Board
We all share this beautiful campground, and with bonfires, music, and fun happening throughout the park, it’s a great time to enjoy the season together!
As we kick off a new season, let’s take a moment to remember the values that make our community special: kindness, respect, and consideration for one another. Every co-owner matters, and everyone’s rights are equally important.
With over 500 unique personalities calling Sleepy Oaks home, there’s always someone new to meet—or someone to reconnect with. The start of each season can bring a few growing pains, but together, we can make it a smooth and enjoyable time for all.
Here’s our annual friendly reminder list, inspired by past feedback and shared experiences:
-
Please respect quiet hours.
-
Drive safely and stick to our 10 mph speed limit.
-
Keep dogs leashed at all times.
-
Clean up after yourself, your pets, your kids, and your grandkids—especially in shared spaces.
-
Follow posted pool rules.
-
Use pool equipment and furniture properly.
-
Be courteous and mindful of others in all common areas, including the clubhouse and pool.
Did we forget anything? Oh, yes—HAVE FUN! RELAX! ENJOY TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS!
We’re all lucky to share this little piece of paradise. Let’s make the most of it together.
Welcome back to Sleepy Oaks!
