Best Campgrounds near Cochecton, NY

Campgrounds near Cochecton, New York line the Delaware River and extend into both New York and Pennsylvania, providing a mix of tent and RV camping options within a scenic rural landscape. The region includes established campgrounds such as Skinners Falls Campground and Narrowsburg Campground that offer waterfront sites directly on the Delaware River. Most developed campgrounds in the area support tent camping and RV hookups, while select locations like Keen Lake Resort and Soaring Eagle Campground feature cabin accommodations. The campground distribution follows the river corridor, with additional options extending into nearby towns like Honesdale, Waymart, and Roscoe.

The camping season in this region generally runs from late April through mid-October, with many campgrounds closing after Columbus Day. Road access to most developed sites accommodates standard vehicles without specialized clearance needs. "Lots of community green space in the center of a circular campground," notes one camper about Skinners Falls. While riverside campgrounds provide excellent water access for fishing, swimming, and paddling, they tend to fill quickly during summer weekends and holidays. Most established campgrounds offer amenities like potable water, showers, and toilet facilities, though primitive sites with fewer services exist. Campers should verify seasonal availability as several facilities don't operate year-round.

Waterfront camping represents the main draw in this Delaware River region, with numerous reviews highlighting direct river access as a primary attraction. Campsites at Skinners Falls and Narrowsburg provide opportunities for fishing, swimming, and water recreation directly from camp. Some campers note the party atmosphere that develops at certain river campgrounds on summer weekends. According to reviews from The Dyrt, "This felt like a music festival. Loud music playing till 4am" at some locations during peak season. For quieter experiences, campers recommend mid-week stays when sites have significantly lower occupancy. Several campgrounds rent water equipment, with tubing, kayaking and canoeing options available directly from the facilities. Wooded sites provide ample shade throughout the camping areas, creating comfortable spaces even during hot summer days.

    Russell Brook Campsites

    Clean, Friendly, and Right on the Water

    Loved this place! It's clean and well-maintained - even the restrooms. Every site is well-equipped with its own water, electricity, fire pit, and picnic table. The best part is the waterfront sites. We were right next to a small brook, and falling asleep to the sound of the water behind our tent was amazing. Everyone we met was super friendly. We will definitely be back!

    Dingmans Campground — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

    Beautiful, wooded, campsites

    I’m stopping through for the night and so grateful that I did. This campground is lovely. The spots are wooded so you have a bit of privacy. And you are so close to activities throughout the park. I’m changing my schedule to enjoy the campground and park a bit tomorrow.

    Salt Springs State Park Campground

    Worked for me

    I stayed in late September in one of the drive in spots. There were no other campers bc of the season- and it’s mid week. I love this park and it’s close to my house so I just wanted to crash there and wake up early to hike. It was quiet all night. The bathrooms are very far from tne sites and it was visible where some people had relieved themselves in the bushes. There is no potable water anywhere so bring some. I enjoyed it but during the on season or busy times tnere is zero privacy between sites other than sites 13 and 14. Def wouldn’t stay here during summer for that reason.

    The Peekamoose Valley

    Not all sites open

    Despite current info posted online and even at the Lower Field site, not all sites are open. Only the Lower Field site is open. We walked down the hill, across the bridge, and looked at a few sites in each direction. It was walk-in only and about a 5-10 minute walk to the first site. The setting was nice, close to the creek, with a stone fire ring at each. You can see the folks in the next site but there’s quite a bit of privacy. There wasn’t much wood laying around to make a fire, so plan ahead. The ports potties are in the parking lot so it’s likely that you won’t make the trek up to them. Make sure you know the rules about how far away from the water you should pee and whatnot. I believe it’s on the info sign nearby. We have a roof top tent and we were stopping in the middle of a long drive so we just waited until dark and popped it in the parking lot and then left in the morning but I don’t think you’re supposed to do that. FYI they empty the dumpsters at 4am on Monday and then do the ports potties at 7am. Yay.

    High Point State Park Campground

    Relaxing and Well-Maintained

    Stayed 2 nights and it was really nice. Camping for summer is pretty limited to Sawmill Lake, as the other locations are for groups or winter camping. Camps are secluded from each other and most if not all have an elevated space to put tents or chairs. Each place comes with a lamp hang, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Bathrooms are spaced out. No running water except for pump founded outside of the bathrooms. Toilets are pump flushed. Showers are only located INSIDE High Point State Park, not throughout the campsites, but entry is free for campers. One hiking trail is accessible in Sawmill campground, 3 others are accessible on the road outside of the campground and the rest are located inside the park. When you arrive you have to check in with the park office for your campsite tag. Hours are 8-4. Park officials come through the campsites pretty regularly, a few times a day which is nice. Areas are clean and well maintained.

    Cranberry Run Campground

    Don’t Stay here!!

    It’s not a campground. It’s where people stash their rvs, some of whom seem to live here permanently. Caretaker was rude. Sites were all rocky and many on steep inclines. Complete waste of our time. Plus, the site looks nothing like the pictures they post, which is an area you can’t camp at. Don’t stay here.

    Salt Springs State Park Campground

    Adventures!

    3 couples all ventured to Salt Springs and split the largest cabin for a few days. We electricity from a few outlets in the cabin if needed. Let me tell you that we spent very little time inside. We enjoyed the trials, waterfalls, and firepit cooked meals outside! Hemlock Grove, Penny Rock, and the saltspring kept us entertained! We cooled off under a waterfall :) I'm looking forward to visiting again! Bring some hotdogs/burgers for a yummy meal after a good day in PA!
