89 wooded acres nestled between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes! Off grid property with no light solution and incredible star gazing! Walking distance to the Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) and Texas Hollow State Forest. A short drive and you can be wine tasting along the lakes. Plenty of activities nearby kayaking, biking and waterfall hikes. Only a few very spread out sites on this acreage. Veteran owned and operated. No fireworks allowed. Well behaved kids and dogs welcome.
The hosts were very friendly and the place was very clean and well groomed. We however prefer a more rustic type of camping with good site privacy and shading. Here we were out in a field.
Cute spot we went up for Happy Hallow Weekend as my fiancées family has for the past 30 years. UNFORTUNATELY the owner has an awful passive aggressive attitude problem. As long as you don't need to ask her anything you should be good! I was VERY upset that Christy thaught it appropriate to "punish" my 12 year old for bringing a small puppy into the rest area without first speaking to her parents or nicely reminding the CHILD that animals weren't allowed in the restrooms. She handed our daughter spray cleaner and told her to clean it, without ever checking the bathroom before or after the punishment was enforeced. To top it off when we went to use the restrooms that night they were trashed garbage overflowing, toilets not flushed... I mean if your that concerned over a 3lb puppy in the bathroom maybe the staff should show a little more attention to it. We also had a friend call to ask for directions and see if there was swimming and a fee for coming to visit... She was told a dollar to visit be out by 11 and hung up on... Ridiculous! As a business owner I'm appalled by their lack of customer service skills. Thanks for making us uncomfortable! We will not be back anytime soon.
Sad to just be passing thru... Absolutely loved our large, secluded tent site. They've put the tent-specific (no hookups, etc.) sites together in a grove by themselves and it's the coolest little drive to get to them. There's also a walking trail that heads out into the woods from the end of the road/beginning of our site. We could only walk a few minutes but it seemed extensive. If you are tenting and looking for solitude (and ok with possibly no internet - it dropped after the main area for me), I highly recommend requesting site H7 or H8!
I must say I was planning a quick 3 day trip and that was the place to be. I was so impressed by how family oriented it is. Happy hollow was truly a place where the owners were very kind, and they have So many things for children to do, I must add all free and with all the equipment you can use. All I have left to say is I saw old time value's, polite people, friendly reminders if you were unclear on a beach rule Breath of fresh air in these new times.

Grew up going here, under different ownership but started a reunion coming up on 9 years now. Great turnout and great support every year by the owners. Can’t wait for this upcoming reunion!
