Located in northern Durham County, Camp Riverlea’s 100-acre historic property includes the Little River, a pond, forests, grassy rolling fields, and a vegetable farm. We have two swimming pools, a tennis court with storage barn, a large children’s garden, gazebo, and several other buildings. Riverlea’s main buildings include the Shire (main lodge), Brandybuck for archery and athletics equipment, and the Hobbit House for arts and crafts. Please visit our Camp History page for more on Riverlea’s story and our Location page for directions.
