28mi from Wiscasset · 8 sites · Tents, Lodging · Pownal, ME

Highland cattle graze at the forest's edge on our Celtic-heritage farm: a gentle retreat with options for woodland wandering, farm-fresh breakfasts (weekdays only, must be requested one week in advance), and campfires complete with traditional Gaelic music! Our 40-acre farm includes heritage-breed animals, organic gardens, and over 30 acres of conservation woodlands. We favor scythes over tractors--your stay will be quiet and fume-free! Bradbury Mountain and several trail networks are nearby, along with rivers, ocean beaches, and an excellent locavore food scene. Since the early 1800s, this land on the edge of Chandler Brook has nourished bodies and spirits alike. Sloping pastures meet well-managed woodlands, making this a haven for both humans and wildlife. Since the 1980s, we have worked to restore the soil and make a "hand-built" life as farmers using pre-industrial organic methods. We maintain pollinator habitats, tend an orchard of heirloom-variety fruit trees, and conserve rare heritage-breed animals, including Tamworth pigs and Scottish Highland Cattle. Our shared love for Celtic folk culture has blended naturally with our love of sustainable agriculture to create Tir na nOg Farm. Today, the work of restoration continues with the help of farm partners, family, friends, WWOOFers, and other volunteers. This land is already better than we found it, but we hope it will remain a gathering-ground of culture and agriculture, tradition and innovation for generations to come.

My Equine Inn was established in 2012 to welcome fellow horse enthusiasts and trail riders to enjoy the trails accessible from my property. While we do not offer rentals, we do offer guided trail rides to those bringing their own horse. Hip Camp seems to be a perfect way to expand! We're looking forward to welcoming campers who would love to have the opportunity to spend a bit of time getting to know our equine companions. Sorry, strictly BYOH (bring your own horse) for trail riding options. Very happy to help you plan your itinerary while you're here!

The folks at the farm were super kind and it was so incredibly peaceful there! We got to watch the baby highland cow get bottle fed which was such an awesome surprise! Very easy to access from Portland too! I highly recommend going to Elevensies too if you're there on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday!

This place was perfect! Truly a campers dream, the owners are welcoming and it is exactly as advertised on the app! I loved how quiet it was and secluded it felt! The farm animals added an extra dimension to the whole experience I really enjoyed waking up to them. The well water was amazing! Will definitely be back next year for the same event I was attending this year! -Woolly Runner

Holly's farmstead hipcamp spot will be a place we will always have fond memories. Holly was very welcoming and accommodating showing us around when we arrived after dark. The night ski was beautiful and falling asleep to the sounds of nature was soothing. In the morning my teen son and I walked around the Farm and visited and watched the animal. It is a a spot where kids and adults can unplug from media and be immersed in nature.

Weekend Trip to Tir na nOg Farm

Me and my friends had an awesome time camping here! The campsite was super quiet, and the farm was fun to be around. They sold us some amazing meat and veggies and we did a cookout our last night there. Everyone was super kind and the vibes were immaculate. It is important to keep in mind that the hosts run a working farm here, so being respectful of their time and keeping things quiet during quiet hours is important. Wasn't an issue for us, but just wanted to let future campers know. One of the fears I had while booking a campsite at a farm was that we would be disturbed by animals and farm stuff going on. That was 100% NOT the case for us. The campsites are super out of the way and tucked into corners of the farm. The farm itself is super pretty (think forest homestead, not cornfields)

My girlfriend and I stopped here for an overnight on our way up to Acadia. Holly was an incredible and informative host, and the farmhands were friendly and went above and beyond to give us a great experience. The Woodland Den was exactly as advertised, tucked away in the trees but a very quick walk to the bathroom. We loved being able to spend time with the animals, especially the pigs and the newborn piglets! I highly recommend this HipCamp to anyone who appreciates sustainability, community, and care for all living things. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Staying at the hobbit hut was truly such a special magical experience! Our hosts have created such a beautiful place and were very helpful and kind. We were lucky enough to be there to see some baby piggies and watching the family of pigs was such a joy! We hope to visit again!

Weekend Trip to Tir na nOg Farm

Holly is a great host. We felt welcome and at ease on her farm. We also enjoyed the drive to her camp site on the back roads of Maine. We were a short easy 20 minutes from Portland where we ate at Luke’s Lobster ($$$). We visited Yarmouth’s clam fest, Sandy Point for some beach time, and Clayton’s for yummy sandwiches. Holly’s sky filled with stars was one of the best parts of our trip. We would definitely return (if we lived closer).
