Private sites

98% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.

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 / 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!

Twin Poplar Farm / In the Field

Fabulous spot to camp!

We had the most WONDERFUL time staying on Stephanie's property. It was truly a gorgeous location. We enjoyed sitting by the fire for hours at night, and admiring the stunning stars. They truly were just remarkable. The property has lots to offer, and we enjoyed going on a hike to the creek + river on the property. Her site is also centrally located with a lot of fun things to do in the area. Stephanie was a kind and responsive host, had great recommendations, and went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Also- we had several little kids with us ranging from 12mo-5yo... the walk is very doable, and its a great spot for kids. Would highly recommend!

Twin Poplar Farm - By the River

River site

We booked the River site, and while it has a small trek to the site, it is beyond worth it. I must admit I turn into a child when I’m near water, and want to look at all the fish, salamanders, and all other creatures. We had a great time sitting around the fire, wading through the river and just relaxing. Stephanie and her son were also fantastic hosts and were very available should and issues arise. If I could, I’d book every weekend!

Twin Poplar Farm - By the River

Beautiful river camp site

Stephanie’s land by the Tye river is a gem! It’s a beautiful camp site right on the river-well maintained with a hammock and various spots to hang. Stephanie and her son Emmet are welcoming and knowledgeable about the river put ins and take outs if you want to tube and/or kayak. This is a very special place - highly recommend!

Twin Poplar Farm / In the Woods

This property is truly a dream spot. Be sure to upgrade to use the tubes to float the Tye because it is a magical experience. The host is extremely kind and has created a true country oasis.

Twin Poplar Farm / In the Woods

Magical weekend

Stephanie was an amazing host! Very communicative and generous with her time and resources. My friends and I had a magical time. The campsite is beautiful-- very private and quiet (heard several barred owls at night!) and is close to lots of things to do during the day (river, hiking, breweries). The river is a quick walk from the campsite and is great for swimming, fishing, and frolicking. The walk to the campsite is pretty quick, but it is downhill, so be mindful to only pack what you are willing to carry back up the hill. Gear carts definitely come in handy. Thanks for a great weekend, Stephanie and Emmett!
