Site 1 - OneRiver Farm: A Mountain Retreat
We will be back!
This place truly felt spiritual and peaceful to recharge. We camped at site 1. It was tucked in the woods behind a large beautiful field and sat next to a babbling brook. Stunning views everywhere- Even the parking lot was surrounded by wild flowers and had great views of the mountains. The swimming hole was just a short walk across his property and had a rope swing for the brave. It was tucked under a bridge which had inspirational quotes and cartoon friends painted along the concrete walls. It warmed the heart.
As far as practicalities for camping, Tommie provided a wooden hand cart to bring our gear to our campsite which was helpful. However, we learned quick that heavy/full cart loads that were very manageable going downhill were nearly impossible for the uphill haul. Just a few extra, small load trips solved that “problem”. The campsite isn’t far at all from the parking lot, but you do have to manage the hill. The site was big enough to comfortably fit two 8-10 person tents and had a small fire pit with metal grate for cooking. The pit toilet was tucked away about 20ft from the campsite which provided great privacy. But the pit toilet is as rustic as camping can get, so those who need a little more polished place to poo may not do well. We didn’t personally mind but that was probably our bottom line for needs. It did its job.
We truly enjoyed our stay even though it rained our entire weekend but it gave us more reasons to came back and maximize our experience!

A Vermont Gem
Beautiful, brookside spot in bucolic Vermont. My wife and I came down from Burlington to unplug and Tommie’s land was just what we needed. Quiet, private, and just a short walk from an awesome swimming hole it has all you need.

This place is magical! Surrounded by mountains, hills, creeks and rivers- all a short walk or drive from where we camped. We camped at site three- beside a beautiful crystal clear creek (which lulled us to sleep every night). There's a swimming hole a short walk away. It was perfect for a cold dip- especially at sunset.
Tommie was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He shared his passion for the land and shared so many gorgeous hidden gems with us. Every place he shared was breathtaking. There is so much to do, see and explore all within a short drive of Tommie's land. We are in love with Vermont and can't wait to come back to Lincoln to tackle some of the longer hikes and to swim in every swimming hole we stumble across.

Great Place to Explore!
Want an amazing trip! One River Farm in Lincoln, VT was everything we had hoped for on our long weekend camping trip and Tommie was a great host. This camp site has it all, ample space for a few tents tucked in the woods adjacent to a cold water stream on a picturesque New England farm. Waking up to watch the sunrise over the hay fields with the mountain range in the background while enjoying am the first cup of camp coffee is enough to have me coming back again. The more you are willing to explore the more you will find. There is plenty of great hiking throughout the nearby Green Mountains, it’s a short drive to the towns of Bristol or Stowe if that’s your thing and don’t miss the Lincoln General store. It’s just miles down the road and they have all the essential you’ll need for a great trip. Oh yeah, bring some swimming trunks, there is an amazing swimming hole a short walk from camp. We spent the weekend exploring the area on motorcycles. There’s endless amounts of amazing riding in the area. Ride the gaps or explore the local gravel roads, you won’t be disappointed! If you’re in the area and looking for a secluded place to remote camp with lots to do nearby I would highly recommend giving this spot a try. Cheers!

Such sacred and beautiful land and water! And such kind hosts. We loved being there, so private, beautiful views. Just a note that if you have a lot of stuff, it’s a bit strenuous getting it back to the car (the three minute walk is downhill and then flat getting to the site, but flat and then uphill going back to the parking area). Still definitely worth it and the cart they provide is a huge help! Would love to come back, was sad to leave.
