The Farm is located on 65 private acres of Woods and Field on the Tye River. This is a place for people who love nature and want to be out in it. We have chosen to prioritize conservation over ease of access, so though the sites are all walk in only [or paddle in!] this means you will camp on the grass or leaves not the gravel of a parking lot. There are only 3 sites on the land so you can soak up nature without noisy neighbors. "Twin Poplar" refers to the Tulip Poplar's extraordinary tenacity, after being cut down, like the Phoenix who returns to life after death, a Poplar will often regrow as two "twin" trunks. A chance for a new life and growth! For more follow us on Instagram @TwinPoplarFarm

Twin Poplar Farm - By the River

Beautiful spot right by the river. Fire circle, level ground for tents, very clean.

Twin Poplar Farm / In the Field

We had a great stay. We ended up staying in the woods instead of the field because it was so hot the weekend we visited. Stephanie proactively reached out with options on how to make our stay more comfortable given the forecast. The site was lovely and the river was delightful on such a hot weekend. We were hoping to tune, but the river was low, so we just splashed and caught tadpoles and explored - still great. It's a walk from parking to the site, but doable even with our non-minimalist car camping setup with Stephanie’s cart. The site is very simple - no amenities like a picnic table, so be sure to bring whatever you need to be comfortable. Would stay again!

Twin Poplar Farm / In the Woods

Great weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend camping in the woods! The river is a 5-10 min walk from the site and it was great place to cool off on this very hot weekend. Stephanie was lovely and very responsive. I definitely recommend the extra of having your gear transported to the site.

Twin Poplar Farm / In the Woods

Beautiful and relaxing

We loved tent camping in the woods at Twin Poplar Farm. It was so peaceful and quiet- (except for all the wildlife which we loved hearing). We spent one day tubing on the Tye which was amazing, and another day exploring and enjoying where the stream meets the river. Stephanie is a welcoming and knowledgeable host, and we are grateful she and Emmett shared their space. Guests should be aware that you DO have to carry in all of your gear to the campsite. It is a well maintained path, but the wooded area is quite steep in places. The gear cart made the trip doable, and I was glad our cooler had wheels. The farm fresh eggs were a nice touch. All in all, we had a wonderful few days and look forward to coming back!

Twin Poplar Farm / In the Woods

Lovely Secluded Woodland

We camped at the woods site, such a wonderful private place. The border of creeks and river make it very easy to know the boundaries while hiking. Stephanie was very thorough which helped ensure a great stay. The amount of spring ephemeral flowers was outstanding. We had a bit of wind and thunderstorms which made the river our second day not as appealing but when we viewed it the day before the storms it looked like a dream to swim and fish. We will be back!
