About Harmony Ridge Farm & Campground

Experience the harmony of nature on our 160 acre campground located in the heart of New Jersey’s Kittatinny Mountains. Easily accessible from all directions in the tri-state area, Harmony Ridge is open year-round for your enjoyment. Come sit a spell and join our family in front of the lounge fireplace and meet new friends to share camping adventures. The friends and memories you make here will last a lifetime. Ed and Dorin Ann Risdon purchased 160 acres in 1963. Harmony Ridge opened on July 4th 1966 with 10 campsites with the men still working on the bathrooms. Kerosene lanterns were put in the bathrooms and would last until sunup. Campers came and enjoyed swimming, fishing, and hiking. Family and friends all gathered around the campfires for song and story telling. Today we have over 200 sites and many activities to choose from; a large pavilion, playground, shuffleboard, bocci ball, volleyball, horseshoe, swimming pool, basketball court, and paddle boats. Our newest additions are the hockey rink, a baseball field, and a gaga ball court and our brand NEW playground. Some weekends, we host events for the community. Campers are invited to watch baseball games of local teams and our tractor pulls. Brittany and Sue run the office and Edwin Jr. and Trevor manage the grounds and the equipment. In 1992 Ed Jr. married Susan and in 2011 Beth married Frank. Ed Sr. passed away in 2020 and Doris passed in 2022 from Alzheimers. Our newest addition to the family, the 4th generation, is Jayden Risdon who is now 12 years old and new baby sister Raelynn who was born in December 2024. New generations will bring new ideas and new activities to the campground. The towers on the mountain are also owned by the Risdon family. Commercial radios and paging systems mix the modern fast-pace life with the slow, relaxing life of the country living on the campground.

My party has been enjoying 2 day camping outings at Harmony Ridge for 16 years when Ed & Doris ran the site. Our group of 7 to 9 guys are accustomed to a fun outing with access to power and facilities while roughing it in tents. We always use most of the seasoned split firewood. The next generation has taken over with the passing of Ed & Doris, keeping the place clean and we'll run, but pricing has quickly increased.

Stayed two nights with a variety of aged family. We rented a cabin which it was a step up from rustic and was nice to have a full kitchen and bathroom right in the cabin. The main building had a camp store which was nicely stocked with all those things you might have forgotten to pack. There was a game room and a community room for you to use. The pool area is very nice and well kept. I felt the other amenities could be a little better maintained. I was surprised that there weren’t any activities scheduled for kids/ families. Overall, it was relaxing but we would have not been able to sleep had we not thought to bring a fan. Close by is Space Farms which is a great activity to take up a portion of your day if you’re looking for something to do.

We had a nice stay here. It rained a bunch on our trip so we decided to explore the arcade and lodge area. They had some fun retro games my son really enjoyed and an indoor play area both of my kids liked. The grounds seemed very well maintained, they had just planted a bunch of rows of flowers. The staff were mixed. The lady and the young girls were nice. The old man seeme a bit grumpy lol but he'd fit right in with my work guys. Would stay here again if I was looking for a quiet weekend. No issues checking in or out.
