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

Camping on the Farm
My partner and I really enjoyed camping on Stephanie’s land and exploring all the options. We ended up in the field since that was the closest to where we parked the truck and had a decent amount of gear. Next time we would love to backpack in to the woods site or river site and take in the beauty of the property even more. We were the only campers there and felt very welcomed from the start. It was relatively close to Crabtree Falls and The Priest summit so ended up being the perfect spot to land for a few nights.

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!
