This campsite provides a great location to use as a base for day hikes. The tent site is situated beneath a canopy of two large Red Oak trees. This property was formerly a farm and has since grown back to a pioneer Hardwood Forest. There are stone rows throughout the farm and some areas that have been cleared of invasive vegetation and planted with native grasses to enhance the deer population. We suggest day hikes such as Catfish Fire Tower, Van Campen's Glen, and Buttermilk Falls. Here's a list of our recommendations for hiking, fishing, and just plain old exploring: The Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area (DWG) and nearby Walpack Fish and Wildlife Management Area in Layton have many hiking trails (See the National Park Service's website). Great areas for sightseeing, hiking, biking, fishing, hunting. Buttermilk Falls, (trailhead on) Mountain Road in Layton. Hike to the top of the beautiful waterfalls near Walpack and take a 6.8 mile loop trail to Crater Lake. Walpack Inn, National Park Service Rd 615, Layton. A beautiful restaurant with an entire back wall of windows with a view of the Kittatinny Valley. The Walpack is open on weekends for dinner only. Appalachian Trail (AT). Check out the AMC Mohican Outdoor Center located along the trail in Blairstown. The AT runs through the DWG. \ Long Pine Pond amp; Crater Lake in Walpack. Both are spring fed and great for swimming and boating (clear water). Van Campen's Glen, Old Mine Road, Hardwick. The 2.1 mile loop trail features several cascades and waterfalls, a narrow stone valley, and a lush hemlock ravine. Catfish Fire Tower, Millbrook Road, Hardwick. A rocky 2.0 or longer 4.4 mile hike to the top of the ridge. Great views on NJ and PA.

We loved camping here (even in the rain)! Our kids had a blast climbing the big rocks around the firepit, and the trees on the land were beautiful. The campsite provided the perfect amount of privacy while containing everything we needed (flat spot for our tent, a picnic table, and a pit toilet a short walk away). Thanks for a wonderful stay. We hope to be back soon!

Staying at this glamping site right on the Delaware River was an incredible experience. Totally gorgeous and private. The hosts were so kind and gracious; they went out of their way to make us comfortable and even surprised us with a thoughtful little anniversary gift when we arrived. The site is easy to find and has good cell service. Highly recommended for a peaceful and romantic getaway.

Weekend Trip to Riverhouse Farm

Our stay at Riverhouse Farm couldn’t have fallen on a more perfect weekend. We enjoyed how conveniently placed and framed everything was. From the view of the river from the tent, sitting around the fire as the moon rises between the trees, or where the sun and moon sit perfectly when they’re at the peak and the trees that frame it. We slept comfortably in the canvas tent and using the wood burning stove was easy. Conveniently, there’s a grill which made cooking a lot easier. The fresh eggs cooked over the fire were superb! We arrived later than we had hoped and in the dark so we missed the tent off to the right when we got there but were able to find it. I would love to visit again this time next year! Such a memorable trip.

I loved tent camping on Steven's property! There was a perfect space cleared out to set up tents. The fire pit was already partially lit and the site had plenty of chopped wood for us to use. Water for cleaning hands/dishes was provided. The outhouse was clean and provided just enough privacy. There was a large cozy hammock and trees for us to hang our own hammocks. The property was large enough to walk around and explore. Although the owners had a house on the property, it was far enough away to not feel like you're in someone's backyard. Would camp here again.

It was exactly what we needed. It was peaceful. It was beautiful and it was everything that was promised. It seems like we had a fire going the whole time that we were there. Stephen couldn’t have been nicer. He came by one day mid morning to check on us and to restock the area. Had a very nice conversation. He was genuinely interested in our trip and wanted to make sure that we had a great time. At the same time while we had a full and complete conversation with him, he didn’t stay too long nor did we feel that his visit was ever unwelcome. We’ll definitely be back.

Nice view of the campsite from our tent.

Really great campsite and having wood included was an extra plus! Stephen was very kind and showed us exactly where to go upon arrival as we got in a little late. The other reviewers are correct as long as you have AWD (or 4WD), you’ll have no problem heading up the hill to camp. Loved the firepit area - it was just my boyfriend and I, but would be really nice for a group of people sitting around the fire. We chose tenting in the dry, dirt area so if you plan to do that instead of the grass, make sure you have some padding as it’s very rocky. Pit toilet area was well maintained too. Would definitely visit again!

We loved the space, it's secluded and private in a beautiful, serene clearing. The fireplace is large and everything is set up for a nice bbq session. The surroundings are worth visiting, there are great trails for hiking and biking, a winery and great shops for fresh groceries. A lot of things we didn't have time to explore, so we'll be back.

A perfect mini weekend getaway! Richard met us on arrival and gave us a wonderful tour. He was also super communicative leading up to our stay which was great. The picnic table/ cupboard came in really handy for prepping and eating meals. During our stay the river was on the shallower side, but that didn’t deter us from getting out on the river to fish and explore. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to unwind and spend some time on the river!
