Riddle Hill Homestead is a family-run property on 24 acres in Grafton, New Hampshire, bordered by the Smith River and Manfeltree Brook. Our campsites are tucked into the woods, along field edges, and in the meadow, with a mix of open skies, tree cover, brook sounds, and quiet places to sit by the fire. We are a working homestead, not a traditional campground, but we try to make off-grid camping comfortable and welcoming. Campers have access to a community picnic and BBQ area, non-potable water, an off-grid shower area, and a real port-a-potty near the movie and community area. We also provide one gallon of drinking water when you arrive. Most individual sites include a portable camp toilet inside a small pop-up privacy tent. The Meadow sites do not, so please check the individual site description before booking. Most sites also have their own fire pit. The Meadow sites and Overnight Adventurer use community fire pits instead. Your first bundle of firewood is included, and additional bundles are available for $5. Our roadside Cookie Shop carries fresh-baked cookies, cold drinks, novelty ice creams, local products, eggs from our hens, snacks, and a small honor-system selection of camping basics and forgotten essentials when available. In October 2025, the shop was featured as the first stop on NH Chronicle’s Cookie Crawl. During normal rainfall, the brook is a nice place to wade and explore, though water levels depend on the season and weather. Nature provides most of the background noise. You may hear hens announcing a freshly laid egg, Mister the rooster crowing, peepers, frogs, birds, crickets, the brook, or an occasional owl. We also have dark skies and quiet country evenings. The town beach and Northern Rail Trail are a short walk away. Hiking, lakes, mountain views, Ruggles Mine, and Haunting Whisper Vineyard & Spirits are also nearby. Please remember that Riddle Hill Homestead is a working rural property. Wildlife, farm animals, uneven ground, tall grass, changing weather, bugs, and country sounds are all part of the experience. Come for a quiet campsite, a creative weekend, or a fresh cookie by the campfire. We are glad you found us and hope you feel at home here.

Brookside Camping at The Point

(6)

Tent site · Sleeps 6

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.

Located near one of the property's wetland areas, The Marsh Edge offers a peaceful camping experience with a mix of open sky and nearby tree cover. In spring and early summer, many guests enjoy falling asleep to the chorus of peepers and frogs calling from the nearby marsh. Situated at the far end of the camping area, this site provides some distance from the property's busier gathering spaces while remaining within easy walking distance of shared amenities. Another campsite is located nearby, making this a great choice for campers who enjoy a quieter setting without being completely isolated. Included Private campsite Private fire ring Private picnic table Private camp chair Access to all community amenities Optional Furnished Package May include: Large family or glamping-style tent Outdoor entry rug Solar shower bag Air mattress or cot rentals Guests are welcome to enjoy the community fire pit and brook wading area (water levels permitting), while still being far enough away that activity in these areas is unlikely to disturb your campsite.

Guests may rent one of our solar-heated gravity shower bags or bring their own. Chairs and hammocks are scattered throughout the property for guests to enjoy. Feel free to use any that are not located within occupied campsites or the owners' fenced yard. Riddle Hill Homestead is also home to our whimsical roadside Cookie Shop, where guests can often find fresh-baked cookies, cold drinks, novelty ice creams, and locally made products available during operating hours.

We had a great time here, the point was a beautiful and relaxing spot. Everything was clean and set up for us and exactly as promised. We had to leave a day early because of the weather unfortunately but we enjoyed the time we spent here. Michelle had great communication as was an excellent host to us.

Beautiful area. Had a great spot to set up our tent. Quite, clean and very accommodating.Our kids had a blast running around and exploring. Was able to rent an air mattress package, after realizing it wouldn't fit in my vehicle. We will be back next season
