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.

The Black Locust site was super beautiful and Steve was very helpful. We really enjoyed some of his dried Shitake mushrooms too!

We loved tent camping at Hawk Meadow Farm! The site was beautiful and clean and there were tons of little trails to walk around. Steve was super kind and dropped off some fresh mushrooms for us for a fair price. The bathhouse was also very clean. We will definitely be returning in the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Steve and Anne's. The location was far enough from the main property that I couldn't see anything but trees while at camp. Unfortunately, it rained more than not while there but FORTUNATELY, I was able to keep a fire going! THANK YOU! The ample firewood saved my trip! My plans were to explore the Finger Lakes region but w wet boots, it turned into a solitude in nature at camp. Tent, fire, and a few books. Heaven
A few things to be aware of, the drive to the campsite has some foliage that will run down the length your vehicle. No scratches for me but I was a bit worried. Also, occasionally, you can hear some road noise, but honestly it becomes white noise after a short bit and it didn't distract from the feeling of being alone.
I loved my 3 days there. I unplugged, disconnected w the world, and just sat w myself. Loved every second! Will visit again.

Steve's land is an excellent place to camp! The owners are kind and accommodating, and the shower is a great addition. We had a great time seeing the farm and would absolutely camp here again.

Had a wonderful time camping at The Pines site. It was a very private spot with fire pit and picnic table, nestled well into Steve's beautiful property. The shower in the super cute cob house was perfect for a hot day. Had a lovely chat with Steve about his mushroom growing operation too! Already talking about coming back someday soon!

Hawk Meadow Farm is our very favorite Hipcamp! We usually stay at the Pine Tree site, but tried Black Locust this time and it didn’t disappoint. Both sites are quiet, lovely, and private. Black Locust feels even more secluded, like you’re tucked away in a little grove. If you’re a hammock camper, the Pine Tree site is a better pick— if you’re a tent camper, both are great but we liked Black Locust.

Staying at Steve and Anne's magical forest farm truly changed my life! My time with them has inspired me to want to manage forests with an eye towards wildlife habitat and mushrooms. Getting to eat fresh shiitakes, lions mane and oysters along with taking medicinal tinctures grown and made on their farm is a healing and joyful experience I hope everyone can enjoy. Don't miss an opportunity to spend some time with them in their forest sanctuary!

We loved the privacy of the black locust site! The tree cover gave great shade and we appreciated the firewood. Steve and Anne are fantastic hosts and they grow the best mushrooms I’ve ever had. I hope to visit again soon!

We loved our stay at Pine Tree! My boyfriend and I spent the day in Ithaca and this was the perfect retreat after exploring the farmers market and wineries. There are only two sites on Steve and Anne’s property and they are far away from each other. If there were other campers at the property, we didn’t hear or see them. The site was perfectly tucked away with huge pine trees that offered a nice bit of shade. It was plenty large enough for our pop-up camper and truck. Steve and Anne offer soo much dry firewood right at the site and it’s included in the price which was great! The bathhouse is in a beautiful building but we didn’t end up using it since it was a bit of a walk from the site and the deer flies are very bad this year. Luckily the flies weren’t bad at the campsite, only when we’d walk around in the sun. That has nothing to do with the site or the property, it’s just been a bad year for them so we didn’t risk the bites! We really loved how private and secluded Pine Tree was. It’s how camping should be!

Had a great stay!! I stayed in the Black Locust site~ it was beautiful and very private.
The new bathhouse was definitely a highlight for me!! I’m dreaming about it now 2 weeks after my stay! It’s gorgeous—gaze into the forest and listen to the birds as you cool off after a day in the woods<3.
Visit Creekside Cafe, where mushrooms from the farm are served!!
I absolutely enjoy my stay, I can’t wait to come again!

Wonderful stay! Very peaceful and quiet. Nice secluded campsite. Short walk to outhouse and shower. Wish I could have stayed a bit longer. If my travels bring me to the area again, I would definitely stay again.

We loved camping here! A beautiful farm with plenty of firewood to burn at our campsite. My boyfriend was having allergy issues and we were able to get help from Steve’s wife who sold us homemade allergy tincture made of mushrooms and other herbs but they make there on the farm.

We loved our time at the White Pine campsite. Steve was an excellent host.
Great views. Plenty of firewood readily available. The firefly's put on a show for us.

This was my second stay at Hawk Meadow Farm, and it’s becoming our favorite place to camp! The property is giant, lovely, and peaceful. Steve is a great host, and even recommended some good local spots for food and coffee. We’ll definitely be back!

Whether you want to hang at the campsite, learn about shiitake, visit a winery, or explore downtown Ithaca, Hawk Meadow gives you the opportunity to see it all. Steve’s care for the land is evident, and we learned so much from him about the world of mushrooms and forest management. Truly a beautiful site. We will definitely be back!!

This was the best camping site we have had since getting our little trailer. It was private and surrounded by a wild forest. For birders there was a wide variety. Steve and Ann were great hosts. Steve took time from his busy day to teach us about his mushroom production. What an honor!

Really liked this spot! Steve was great communicating details for trip. There's a fire ring, plenty of wood and a foldable grill to place over the fire for cooking. Plenty of room for both shade and sun - whatever your preference. At night the sky was decorated with tons of stars, perfect for winding down after a long day. With an outhouse just down the road, this is a perfect spot for a camping experience with just the right amount of amenities. Highly recommend! Thanks again Steve!
