Delaware River Family Campground

Delaware River Family Campground

Tucked away in the northwestern corner of this private riverside RV park are 50 grassy tent-only sites. Don’t be deceived by the rows of trailers you must pass to get there, and don’t be put off by the clambakes, barbecues, or bingo. There are two secluded, wooded state parks nearby for those who prefer more scenic, wilder experiences. But for families with children, for those wishing to bring along the family pet, or for those who like to consume a beer with their freshly caught fish, Delaware River Family Campground is a reasonably maintained, friendly option. It’s also one of the rare private campgrounds that does not give short shrift to tent campers. In fact, the best sites in the campground—those right on the river—are reserved for tents. Many of the RV sites are closer to the main road, which make them noisier than the tent sites. The campground does try to control the noise; no motorized scooters, motorbikes, or chainsaws are allowed. The Delaware River is the star attraction here, and the camp offers rafting, canoeing, tubing, and kayaking in addition to allowing fishing from its banks. You can launch boats from the campground along with sitdown Jet Skis. Stand-up Jet Skis are not permitted on the Delaware. Swimming is allowed in the pool only and is not permitted on the beach or near the boat launch area.
