  Jellystone Park Lazy River

  Great for beginners

  The camp is set up in a “blank slate, parking lot” type style, with a big field, center for tent camping or to be used for sports or other activities. There’s a “lazy river” at one side and a small RV village on the other, and tent sites with water or dry tent camping. Restrooms are available with hot and cold running water, showers and toilets.

  Jellystone Park Lazy River

  Great Campsite for Families and Kids

  Great first tent camping experience for kids. Lots of activities, clean restrooms. One thing to keep in mind is the tent sites on the opposite side of the road from the river has no shade. Site gets pretty hot on a sunny day. Sites by the river have some shade.

  Camp Taylor Campground

  Perfect for tent camping

  This is not one of those resort campgrounds. It has minimal amenities. However, if you are looking to tent camp at a great location, it’s perfect. The tent camping area is separate so no loud noises from RVs. The sites are spacious and separated by trees so you really feel connected to nature. I love hearing the wolves and being so close to great hiking trails. Highly recommended. It’s my favorite drive-in tent campground in NJ.

  Beaver Pond Campground — Harriman State Park

  Lovely campgrounds an hour north of NYC

  Drive-in tent campgrounds. Adequate restroom facilities sprinkled amongst tent sites. Some campsites have raised platforms. All sites have picnic tables and fire ring with flip-top grill. If looking for privacy, back end of campgrounds (#’s 1, 13, 15, 21, 23, etc) provide adequate quietness, a bit hidden and tucked away from the rest. Very near many trailheads and the expansive Lake Welsh. Alcohol prohibited... Uploaded photo/vid from off-season 2019.

  Swartswood State Park Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

  Great family campground with tons of activities

  I tent camped with my niece here in early July. We booked a campsite at the far end of the loop by the lake, which looked to be the right spot for some privacy, but a longer walk to the bathroom and water spigot.

  The campsites included a picnic table and fire ring, and flat ground for tents.

  The late was closed for swimming (lifeguard shortage at the time) but there were lots of smaller spots to tuck into for fishing and just relaxing.

  By the main swimming are there are canoe and kayak rentals as well.

  We did one loop hike which was mostly in the woods with a brief stop with a lake view. The better activities were around the lake.

  This campground was perfect for our weekend. The tent sites more in the open field area (

  Korns Campgrounds

  was amazing… now much less so

  We used to go here all the time. This season there are people living in RV’s in the tent camping area for the full season. That’s no problem, but their outside light decorations really are. The last time we were there, it was so bright at night from the lighting decorations that we didn’t need a flashlight to get around. I am seriously not exaggerating at all. It’s a beautiful campground with a lovely little river running through it. I really hope that the owners reconsider allowing all of the outside light decorations on the RV’s in the tent camping sites.

  Beaver Pond Campground — Harriman State Park

  Quiet, off-season, mid-week retreat

  We stayed here on a Thursday night in September prior to taking off backpacking. The campground was clean and quiet. RV hook-ups, tent platforms, and rustic tent sites were available. Our rustic tent site had a few good options for pitching a tent, as well as picnic table and fire ring.

  Ranger said that during summer weekends the grounds fill up and can be quite noisy, but mid-week during the off-season it was great. Expect to purchase firewood, although scrounging for kindling was possible. Facilities were clean and what you'd expect from a campground.

  Would definitely return!!

  Lower Lake Campground Beechwood Area — Promised Land State Park

  Peaceful and clean

  Went tent camping for 3 nights, easy to get to, bathrooms were clean and so was the site. Sites were a good size and not on top of each other. Firewood was available in the area. But not much for stores so pack everything in before.

  Delaware Water Gap / Pocono Mountain KOA

  Decent KOA

  We found this KOA to be okay. Some amenities need upgrades for the price. Staff very friendly and helpful. I don’t love the gravel pad tent sites. Some sites are much more private than others.

  Kymers Camping Resort

  Rustic and woodsy

  Been camping here for 4 seasons. The management is very helpful and willing to help with even the smallest of requests. Great for RV and tent camping. There’s a pond stocked with 2-3 types of fresh water fish. They offer seasonal camping and a game room with a small general store.

  Beautiful View

  Great campground! The owners were nice and helpful. Firewood was reasonably priced as were showers (25¢ for 5 minutes.) Tent sites were nicely leveled with fire rings and picnic tables. The view was incredible! We will definitely be back!

  Mills Norrie State Park Campground

  Decent state park campground

  This is an older campground with several options. Only 6 sites with electric. 50 & 51 are nice & private. Lots of large tent sites, some in an open area & others fairly private. 4 tent pads with obstructed river views. Assorted cabins, mostly above the river. Restrooms small but pretty clean by state park standards.

  Worthington State Forest Campground — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

  State Forest camping with large sites on the Delaware River

  There are two camping areas at Worthington State Forest - one area is tent only and the other area, separated by 3 group sites, has sites suitable for RVs and campervans. There are no hookups at any of the sites. Alcohol is not allowed. Facilities include plentiful single use bathrooms and showers.

  Site 10 is a spacious, private tent site. Sites 36 and 37 are close together but would be great waterfront campervan sites.  Many tent sites are wooded. Ticks and rattlesnakes are present in the area. Additionally, store food properly as this is bear country.

  Activities include water sports on the Delaware River as well as hiking. We formed a loop hike by combining the Douglas Trail (1.7 miles), a stretch of the Appalachian Trail, and the Garvey Springs Trail (1.2 miles). This route will climb about 1200 feet past Laurel Falls to a backpacker Appalachian Trail campsite, and onward along Kittatinny Ridge to Sunfish Pond - a 44 acre glacial lake designated as a World Heritage Site - before descending back down.

  Korns Campgrounds

  First time camping in awhile; great time

  We chose Korn's because it was close to home on our first trip in years.

  It was a great time from check in to check out.

  We had a nice tent site ( 92 ) along the river. I called myself captain planet because I fished a coffee cup from the river.

  Will definitely be staying again

  Jenny Jump State Forest

  Quaint campground.

  I was looking forward to a Worthington State Park campgrounds visit but that day they were all packed and I was suggested to Jenny Jump State. I enjoyed the overnight camp out with my kids and they had a blast. Nice size primitive tent site we had and was nice for beginner camping.

  Blue Wind Nature Camp

  Free unlimited fire wood!.Don't forget the s'mores!

  Ashley here from The Dyrt! It's been great working with this non-profit organization. They offer 4 private tent sites and 50 acres of scenic hiking trails. Campsites are spaced out, feel private, and offer all of the amenities (grill, chairs, picnic table). Restroom and hot water close by. Check them out and leave them some love!

  Camp Taylor Campground

  Excellent camping !

  My husband and I brought our kids and nephew to Camp Taylor. We did tent camping for the weekend and we had a blast. The camping site we originally had booked was rather small, the front desk was cordial and able to accommodate us by moving us to a bigger site. We had running water and an electric outlet. Our neighbors were quiet and respectful, the grounds are well maintained and staff is great!

  Worthington State Forest Campground — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

  Near Delaware Water Gap

  Nice park with some mountains to climb and waterways to enjoy. Excellent in the fall with the leaves, especially from the summit of Mt. Tammany. The campsites are all very close to the lake, especially the tent sites. The facilities are modern, basic, and clean. We heard about some bear incidents here recently but we didn’t encounter any or any evidence of them.

  Sohi Campground

  Quiet. Great for tents and RVs

  We’ve been to So-hi a couple of times - the RV sites are great - everything you could need not too close to your neighbors, wooded, and plenty of washroom facilities. There are some nice lakes and the wooded tent camping sites are gorgeous - nestled at the back amongst little streams. The “extras” - playground and fishing, have seen better days and could do with a fix up but our 6 year old loved them anyway. Nice people good place.

  Hunter Lake Campgrounds

  Great place

  Only place still run like a family campground should be run. Wonderful owners. All campers were kind. Very quiet place at night. I stayed 4 days and it was great. Yes I did have to mail a check for my reservation. Most of the sites are seasonal and there are very nice tent sites as well. Bathrooms and campground were very clean also. I will be returning to this great place.

  Jenny Jump State Forest

  Great primitive and cabin rental camping

  I really enjoyed staying at Jenny Jump. It is set up nicely for primitive camping and you are able to hike out straight from the campsite(which is always a plus!). Theres a great look out point as well. If you want, they have the option of renting a small cabin/shelter that you can stay in if you are not into tent camping. There is also specific areas for group camping but always good idea to reserve in advance to make sure you can lock it down.

  Delaware River Family Campground

  Friendly Family Camping

  This campground has a good amount of primitive tent and RV camp sites. I went for the primitive tent camping out a solo camp and was pleasantly surprised with how nice the river was and community turned out to be.

  They have kayak and tube rentals if you want to float the river. I enjoyed my stay here thoroughly and the rangers we very nice and felt well taken care of and left alone as well.

  Fire pits were provided and there’s a great campground store that came in handy for food and drinks.

  The river is beautiful in this area and worth the stay.

  Camp Mohican Outdoor Center — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

  Cabins, group sites, hike ins on the AT

  We hosted group camping trips here for years. Excellent spot! The lodge has bathrooms and a small store. You can rent kayaks and canoes and swimming is allowed on Catfish Pond -- plenty of fish, snapping turtles, and other wildlife. If you're there in the summer, I'd recommend taking a kayak around the lake and filling it with wild blueberries. Lots of hiking options as well.

  Tent sites are either on the ground have wooden platforms. Cabins come in various sizes.

  Jenny Jump State Forest

  Peaceful and Spacious

  My husband and I Tent camped in #34 with our dog. The space was reasonably priced, but we did have to pay an extra $5/day for our dog. However, we didn’t mind as it was so private we felt like we had the entire Park to ourselves. The bathroom/shower was only a few steps away which was convenient and clean. The only problem we encountered was that there wasn’t a store close by for ice or other essentials, although the main office does sell firewood. They close at 4pm, though, so be sure to get there before then!
