Discover the charm of Riddle Hill Homestead, a peaceful retreat tucked into 24 acres in the heart of the Smith River Valley in Grafton, New Hampshire. Our property is bordered by the Smith River and Manfeltree Brook, with campsites scattered throughout the woods, meadow, and marshy edges of the land. Whether you prefer open skies, tree cover, or a quieter tucked-away spot, there’s a little something for every camping style. Riddle Hill is a small family-run homestead centered around simple comforts, creativity, and slowing down a bit. Our roadside Cookie Shop offers giant fresh baked cookies, cold drinks, novelty ice creams, local products, and farm fresh eggs from our flock of hens, with the occasional crow from Mister the rooster throughout the day. One of our favorite summer traditions is our free Friday Night Movie Nights. Campers are welcome to bring a chair or blanket, grab cookies, popcorn, donuts, or fresh-squeezed lemonade, and spend the evening watching a family-friendly movie under the stars. Many movie nights also include a small community market, free kids activities, and a chance to meet neighbors and visitors from around the area. Our small honor-system camp store carries a handful of camping basics and forgotten essentials. On many weekends, you may also find local artists, handmade goods, demonstrations, or seasonal community activities happening around the property. The Craft Cottage at Riddle Hill Homestead is our cozy creative studio space where we host workshops, open studio time, and occasional demonstrations. If timing lines up, you may even catch Michelle working on glass lampwork beads or another project in progress. The town beach and Northern Rail Trail are a short walk away, and hiking, lakes, mountain views, and Ruggles Mine are all nearby. Whether you're here for a quiet campsite, a creative weekend, a fresh baked cookie, or a movie under the stars, we're glad you found us and hope Riddle Hill Homestead feels like the kind of place you'll want to come back to.

Brookside Camping at The Point

Tent site · Sleeps 4
This site is our favorite spot on the entire property. We debated for quite awhile on whether or not to share this spot with campers. This spot is surrounded on 3 sides by our little brook. Even when the brook gets low late in the summertime, you will fall asleep to water bubbling over the rocks. The site includes a table and chairs, large waterfront fire pit and even a few singing hammock style chairs. In this section of the yard we do NOT own both side of the brook, so we ask that you stay on our side of the brook.

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!
