Mashipacong Island Campsite — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

River campsites are for boaters on trips where the distance is too great to be travelled in one day. See below for the required minimum distance you must travel on an overnight trip.

• Camping is limited to one night in each location, first come first served. There are no fees, and no reservations are required. • Fires are permitted in existing fi re grates only. Keep fi res small. Use a campstove rather than a campfire. Use dead and down wood only. Do not cut standing trees. • Do not leave food that will attract wildlife. • Use soaps sparingly; even biodegradable soap is a pollutant. Soap and food particles should be dumped on well-drained soil away from water sources. • Respect the river and those who follow you. Do not urinate or defecate within 100 feet of any river or stream. Fecal material, including pet waste, must be placed in a hole at least 300 feet away from water. The hole must be at least 6 inches deep, and be covered with at least 6 inches of soil. • Observe quiet hours from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Loud audio devices and fi reworks are prohibited. • Carry out leftover food and garbage.
