The campground is located on a 9 acre farm that all guests are welcome to use. Steven and Barbara grow organic vegetables that can be used by the campers while they stay on property. There is also an area set aside for campers to enjoy the opportunity to grow there own garden on. Campers of all ages have participated in the homegrown gardens while camping with us. This is not only a fun activity, but also provides a wonderful benefit of having homegrown vegetables for suppers and cookouts. Riverhouse Acres also
maintains a greenhouse where we grow herbs and flowers during the
spring and summer months. We use the herbs
for culinary and medicinal purposes. Steven offers cooking
demonstrations on how to prepare and use fresh herbs in foods.
For the 2006 growing season we are planning the following herbs:
"We enjoy camping at Riverhouse campground. It is very
peaceful and quiet and serene by the river and convenient to the Great
Smoky Mountains. The owners are really nice and accommodating
and will make your stay enjoyable. Try it and you will like
it." |
Campers can enjoy swimming and fishing in the Pigeon River. The river is accessible from a short foot trail. There are large rocks that are easy to stand on and fish from. We can also schedule tubing trips down the river from 15 minutes to 5 hours. Please bring your own equipment.
In addition to the gardens, Riverhouse Acres also has a honeybee farm that guests are welcome to learn about and participate in.
Campers are welcome to use the pavilion for their own activities or events. We have a combined 50 years of experience in professional catering and events planning, and would be happy to provide our services and expertise for cookouts and picnics.
