1. Twin Poplar Farm

99%

(87)

41mi from Brookneal · 3 sites · Tents

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

Weekend Trip to Twin Poplar Farm

This site was great to stay at. Just a few steps from the river in the woods. The hike down into the river isn’t too long, but i’m glad I packed in a ruck backpack. Stephanie’s son did a great job leading us down to the site and answering our questions.

Weekend Trip to Twin Poplar Farm

My partner and I really enjoyed staying on Stephanie's land. We loved camping by the river and hammocking there. It was very peaceful. It's a bit of a hike, but we're both up for the challenge. Totally worth it if you don't mind carrying your stuff for about 20 minutes. Also, the extra basket of goodies was delightful. Stephanie was a great host.
