Discover the charm of Riddle Hill Homestead, an enchanting retreat located on 24 picturesque acres in the heart of the Smith River Valley. Our property is bordered by the Manfeltree Brook and Smith River, offering a serene escape with a variety of campsites to choose from. Whether you prefer the shade of the woods, an open meadow, or the tranquility of the marsh(bring boots!), we have the perfect spot for you. Indulge in our farm-fresh eggs and delicious baked goods, available on-site. Our small, honor-system camp store is stocked with those essential items you might forget while camping. Don’t miss our delightful cookie shop by the road, offering an array of treats, water bottles, and novelty ice creams. On weekends, you may encounter local artists showcasing their crafts, and if you're lucky, you might catch Michelle, one of the owners, demonstrating her glass lampwork skills live. We mentioned farm fresh eggs, we have about 20 hens working hard at laying those eggs for us. You will hear their laying ‘song’ throughout the day with an occasional crow from the rooster. Our location is ideal—just a quick walk to the town beach and the Northern Rail Trail, with hiking, mountains, and lakes close at hand. Plus, Ruggles Mine has reopened and is nearby! If you’re a rockhounding enthusiast, you might appreciate the convenience of camping directly at the mine, making your mineral-hunting adventures even easier. Reach out to Ruggles directly about their camping options! Upon your arrival, we’ll provide you with a curated list of our favorite local spots to explore.

Overnight Adventurer

We had a lovely stay at Riddle Hill Homestead. The campsite is well located on a flat opening under trees. This kind of campsite is superior to camping on grass - the pine needles are soft and dry and the tree cover limits dew from your gear in the morning. The campsite was cool and comfortable for sleeping on a hot August weekend and kept comfortable all morning until we come down to pack the car and realized how hot the day already was down in the sun. The site was quiet for sleeping at night. The tent location is nearly across the neighbors house through trees and was private, but we got the benefit of his outdoor lighting to provide difuse light that made it easier to find our stuff in the tent at night without needing to use our lamp. The roosters at the house and in the neighboorhood start talking to each other in the morning, and we enjoyed hearing them in the distance. We didn't need to use bathroom or shower facilities but saw there were options available. The hosts communicate well and provided a list of things to do in the area. She was friendly and greeted us when we came in. Canaan was close by for a BBQ dinner once we had our tent up, and the Danbury Country store was so wonderful with seating and hot food for breakfast in the morning. Thank you so much for hosting us!
