We had such a great stay! The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, and their sweet pup made the visit even better. The campsite itself was wonderful: spacious, private, and stocked with plenty of firewood, which made our evening around the fire super easy and relaxing. We also got to enjoy some beautiful fall foliage during our stay, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-kept spot to unwind!

Steve's property was beautiful! We were graciously greeted by Lucy and Steve's wife(I'm so sorry to be blanking on her name, she was very welcoming as well!). Our stay was shorter than we would've liked, but following a nice dirt path to get to our site, we came to a nice cleared out space, with plenty of firewood with some covered just in case of rain. I had my wife and 2 year old with me, and it was so nice to sit by the fire, with absolutely ZERO light pollution to see the stars, and nothing but the sounds of owls and other wildlife in the area. We're already looking forward to booking another trip sometime next year!

We loved camping at the Pine Tree site! It was beautiful, quiet and secluded while still being conveniently located between Watkins Glen and Ithaca. Steve and his wife Anne were lovely hosts and always available to answer questions. Their shop was full of all sorts of treasures from handmade soaps and beautiful cards to tinctures made from mushrooms grown on the farm. The bath house has a composting toilet, cold water sink and shower that is solar heated in the summer. It's beautifully built earthen constuction decorated with gorgeous repurposed glass. Thank you for the much needed get away, we hope to be back soon!

Peaceful and secluded campsites. Both existing camp sites seem like they would comfortably fit at least 2 couples if you wanted to double up. The property has great wilderness to wander, and the hosts, including Lucy the sheep dog are all wonderful.
The bathhouse is an earthen building with a cold water sink and shower, and a composting toilet. Beware of what you are getting into with that, and you'll be fine if you are used to those things.
Both sites have pull-through capability if you are pulling a micro camper like I was, and prefer not to back up with it.
Easy drive into Watkins Glen, moderate drive to Ithaca.

We rooftop camped in a hidden glen beneath the locust trees, the kind of place you don’t stumble onto by accident—it feels chosen. There’s unlimited firewood stacked high, waiting to set the mood, so the nights stretch long and wild under the stars. A toilet and shower are there if you want them, but it still feels like your own outlaw’s hideaway. You don’t run into people here—only the quick flicker of bunnies in the brush, and the slow, sinuous reminder that snakes still call this land home.
The air hums with locusts, the fire spits and cracks, and suddenly you remember what it’s like to live without distraction, to let the night take over. With my partner by my side, the fire’s heat on our faces and the sky wide open above, it felt romantic in that raw, unpolished way—the kind that sneaks under your skin and stays there.
This place isn’t polished, it isn’t fake—it’s real. It’s beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise with us Steve. It’s the kind of haven we’ll think about long after we leave. And we’ll be back—no doubt about it.

My fiance and I needed to get out of the real world for a bit and regroups ourselves with earth. Hawk Meadows was the absolute best place to do that. Not having to stress about bringing wood and water was a blessing. Their dog Lucy was the best dog greeter I think we’ve ever met. My first time using Hicamp was a success. I can’t thank Steve and Anne enough!

This was a great place to camp. Steve and Anne were excellent hosts. The farm is very cool and we felt we were let into a little bit of the history of intentional communities in the Trumansburg/Ithaca area. It was quiet and there was a ton of wildlife, especially birds! We also saw a ton of monarch caterpillars thanks to the abundance of milkweed. One thing to note is that the bathroom is about a quarter mile from the White Pine campsite. This is about a 5 min walk at an average pace. It is closer to Black Locust. Black Locust also has a potable well right nearby. There is also potable water at the bathhouse (which is very cute!).
Lucy the dog will great you at the entrance and maybe visit you if Steve is working nearby. She loves to play and get belly rubs.
We highly recommend Hawk Meadow and will be returning!

We had such a wonderful time here! The campsite was peaceful, private, and absolutely beautiful. The generous supply of firewood made our BBQ nights extra enjoyable, and having the water pump on site was super convenient. Everything about this spot made our stay relaxing and comfortable—we can’t wait to come back!

We can’t get enough of tent camping at Hawk Meadow. We love how secluded it is, how far the two camp sites are from one another and how close the car parking is to the tents. We can just pull the cars, short distance to unload and get a camp fire started. We’ll back again to listen to the crickets at night and see the bright stars!

We loved our Black Locust campsite! We were tucked in our own spot with a picnic table, fire ring and plenty of firewood. The bathhouse was a very short walk away - a very cool building and even had a shower. The farm is a great place to walk around, the areas where mushrooms are growing are fascinating. Lots of flowering native plants all around, we heard owls at night and the stars filled the sky. Our hosts were very welcoming. I suggest checking out their “store” - wonderful handmade soaps and beautiful art.
We highly recommend Black Locust campsite!p

We loved camping on Steve’s land. It was so quiet and a true oasis from the busy day to day life. His property was gorgeous and a perfect place to explore and walk around. He taught us so much about his mushroom farm which was so fascinating. It was close to all the popular hiking spots and he gave us some great recommendations for coffee shops and little towns to explore. We will definitely be back to the Pine site at Hawk Meadow Farm!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Hawk Meadow Farm. Steve provided a very informative orientation to the property. The cob-built bathhouse with it's solar powered shower was lovely. We enjoyed his explanation of his medicinal mushroom products. Our site was lush and very quiet. I dropped my reading glasses outside our van. Steve found them after we left and graciously mailed them to us! We are so grateful. Thank you, Steve!

I would absolutely stay on Steve’s farm again. The property is absolutely beautiful and just what I was looking for. There’s a magical quality about the land; the campsite is private, with ample shade. Plenty of woods to stroll through and lots of chopped firewood! The outhouse is charming and unique. You should camp here!

Beautiful spot. Stayed two nights. Steve met us and showed us around. Fascinating buildings and mushroom farm. Cold shower in the bathhouse a big favorite on our hot and humid days. Ton of firewood. Would highly recommended as a quiet, private site.

We absolutely loved our experience at Meadow Hawk Farm! If you’re on the fence about booking, do it! This was our first time using HipCamp and we were so pleased. The property was so peaceful and serene. We walked around and explored a bunch and had fun in the creek. The actual camping spot was huge. Their dog Lucy was so sweet and a great guard dog! Saw tons of cute bunnies, some snakes, salamanders at the creek. The hosts were helpful and friendly but gave you plenty of privacy. The site was very far from their house. The fireflies put on quite a show every night, I have never seen so many at once. It was like hundreds of cameras flashing at the same time all night long ❤️
My one suggestion is if there are women in your camping group who may need the bathroom overnight, bring a toilet setup of some sort because it’s a bit farther than to the real bathroom than you would probably want to walk in the night! And make sure you bring filled water bladders with you to have at your site 😊
This place is a true gem, I highly recommend it!!

What a wonderful camping experience! You will not find more gracious hosts than Steve and Ann. Their land is beautiful, and you can see how thoughtfully and intentionally they manage it. Steve was kind enough to share about his mushroom operation, which was fascinating for everyone, including our four-year-old. Our experience was peaceful, relaxing, and inspiring. We hope to return to Hawk Meadow someday soon, and we will never forget our experience there!

Absolutely beautiful! The property is stunning and the free firewood and use of a well were wonderful. It was interesting that when we left two other groups were also leaving yet we had no idea they were there. The property is so well set up that we felt like we had paradise all to ourselves. Beautifully maintained and really enjoyed our stay. The pictures do no do justice tomorrow how much beauty there is.

Steve is one of the nicest souls I’ve encountered in my travels. He’s created a beautiful little oasis that’s 100% worth checking out. He was very friendly and hospitable, the black locust camp site was nothing short of stunning. If you find yourself in New York and are seeking an unforgettable camping experience this is the spot!

This is our favorite hipcamp! The farm is peaceful and beautiful, and the spots are secluded and perfect for evening campfires. This trip we saw a yellow warbler and enjoyed the morning bird chorus!

We loved our stay!!! Steve was so kind and let us explore his mushroom farm. The campsite was well maintained and had firewood for us, which was a treat! It was great staying here at night and exploring wineries during the day.

Steve’s farm was a great find! The site was a nice size and we had a lot of privacy. Table, benches, and supply shelter were nice additions! Convenient to get to Ithaca and Watkins Glen.
