    Several RV campgrounds surround the Upper Delaware National Scenic and Recreation River region, with options ranging from full-hookup sites to pull-through layouts built for larger rigs. Tri-State RV Park in Matamoras, PA provides big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Mountain Top RV Park in New Jersey features recently upgraded infrastructure with new 50-amp wiring and modernized sewer systems. Thousand Trails Rondout Valley in Accord, NY operates from April through November with spacious pull-through sites that accommodate larger rigs. Clayton Park RV Escape in Lake Ariel, PA offers full hookup sites from May to mid-October with level gravel pads. "Not cheap but well within area norms. Most sites have full hookups with 50 amp electric only so if needed have an adapter," noted one RV camper about the region's facilities.

    Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with AT&T coverage reported as particularly weak in some locations. Dump stations are available at most RV parks, though a few charge additional fees for this service. Summer weekends fill quickly, especially at popular parks like Skyway Camping Resort which maintains a perfect 5-star rating. Navigation to certain campgrounds requires careful planning as mountain roads can present challenges for larger motorhomes. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most RV parks, though specific restrictions may apply. Many campgrounds close for winter, with Thousand Trails Scotrun being a notable exception offering year-round RV camping. Camp stores at most locations stock basic supplies and RV parts, with firewood typically available for purchase at $7-10 per bundle.

      Lackawanna State Park Campground

      Car camping

      Stayed October 14 without reservations because website showed lots of availability. Office was closed (M-F 8-4) so submitted honor system envelope with cash and stayed at Site 041 on Carpenter loop. Shower building was a short walk and was spacious enough. Water temp didn’t quite reach hot but was warm enough.

      Electric kept on tripping breaker.

      Allaben Campground

      Great free spot close to Belleayre Mountain

      I stayed here in March 2026 for a night before going snowboarding at Belleayre Mountain. It was in the middle of a snowstorm on a Tuesday night, so I had the whole place to myself, which was nice.

      Neversink River Resort

      Cool Riverside Campground

      I'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.

      Black Bear RV Park

      Super clean and quiet

      Past reviews has mentioned that the office seems to be closed often, while I found that to be true I had no reason to contact anyone. This is definitely one of the cleanest quiets site I’ve ever visited

      Little Pond Campground

      Nice quiet lil campground

      We went the 2nd week of October and seems like we had just missed the foliage peak but it was still beautiful.

      Everyone minded their business and most sites were 2-4 people, showers were clean and warm but the kind where you gotta push the button every 30 seconds. Toilets were clean and running smoothly (we were in the southernmost loop, closest to the camp office)

      No cellphone reception but we could get satellite signal to text our loved ones that we were alive and well!

      We loved the hiking and especially kayaking on the pond

      Catskill/Kenneth L Wilson Campground

      A little rowdy

      We were in campsite 20 with lots of room. The first night we were there we were near very loud groups which was difficult to sleep through. The next night everyone cleared out and we had a peaceful crowd. Bathrooms are nice, the park has great hiking trails and a nice day use area! There is also an area where we can rent canoes. I would definitely return, just wish there was a little more crowd control.

      Tri-State RV Park

      A place to stay in an area lacking campgrounds.

      This area seems to be devoid of campgrounds except for this one. It’s basically just a large parking lot with hook ups. Completely open, which is great for Starlink. Bathrooms were slightly above average; fairly clean and places to hang clothes for your shower. Has a laundry but be sure to bring quarters. It is about 100 yards from the interstate so you’ll get a lot of noise and diesel exhaust fumes.

    Guide to Upper Delaware National Scenic and Recreation River

    The Upper Delaware National Scenic and Recreation River region spans nearly 73 miles of river between New York and Pennsylvania, with elevations ranging from 600 to 1,300 feet. The area's mixed hardwood forests create a varied camping experience with moderate summer temperatures typically between 70-85°F. Fall camping is particularly popular when oak and maple trees display vibrant colors, though evening temperatures can drop significantly even in summer months.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: The Delaware River contains over 60 fish species including smallmouth bass and trout. At Soaring Eagle Campground, campers have direct river access. "Nice campground right on the Delaware river great for fisherman, hikers also great for tubing down the Delaware or canoeing," notes Mike S.

    Water recreation: Canoe, kayak and tubing are popular activities during summer months. Water levels vary seasonally, making some periods better for specific activities. "The sites are larger than most campgrounds and well spaced out. I have been there on busy holiday weekends where it was full but still peaceful and private with a great community of campers," states Nichole P. about Soaring Eagle.

    Hiking trails: Multiple trail systems connect to campgrounds throughout the region, with varying difficulty levels. Keen Lake Resort Campground offers access to several nearby trails. "My family has been going there for years... My boys absolutely love it and always have something to do. They have activity coordinators that make sure there is something to do for all ages every hour of the day," explains Mike H.

    What campers like

    Large, private sites: Many campgrounds offer spacious sites with good separation. At Skyway Camping Resort, "Very nice and clean... It large with nice size sites," according to Ron H. The campground has well-maintained facilities and organized activities for families.

    Lakefront camping: Several campgrounds feature lake access with boat launches and swimming areas. "This is a very nice park with a beautiful lake. Clean bath houses and very friendly staff. They have activities for all ages. My kids love going here and I also enjoy coming knowing I can relax and not worry about them," writes Dawn T. about Keen Lake Resort.

    Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathrooms and showers. "The bathrooms were the cleanest we've ever experienced at a campground," notes Emily Z. about Keen Lake Resort, though she cautions that "The showers are coin operated."

    What you should know

    Cell service limitations: Service varies significantly by location and carrier. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, "Cell service is ok. Verizon is 25 down 10 up. Tmobile is unusable," reports Don C. Many campgrounds have weak or no service in wooded areas.

    Seasonal availability: Most campgrounds in the region operate from May through October. "Simple Campground - nice lay out albeit as with many campgrounds, the spaces are quite close together. With a sparse population in the winter, it made for a great spot for a work stay," says JL about Timothy Lake South.

    Reservation requirements: Holiday weekends and summer book quickly, often 3-6 months in advance. "We came in at end of season, so pretty much everything seems closed. But, it's a beautiful campground and the part of PA is great too," notes Kasey M. about visiting Thousand Trails Scotrun in fall.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly activities: Many campgrounds schedule daily organized programs. At Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort, "Lots of seasonals and lots of cabins, many RV sites I think all with full hookups... Plenty to occupy the kids. Playground, hayride, animals to feed (goats, chickens, donkey and pony)," reports Janelle G.

    Swimming options: Both pool and natural water swimming are available at many locations. "My kids really loved having a pool to swim in, in addition to the lake," says Emily Z. about Keen Lake Resort, which also has "a beach for swimming with your dogs."

    Bike-friendly campgrounds: Several parks have designated biking areas and paved roads. "This north western NJ campground has fantastic scenic views and plenty of planned activities to keep you occupied," writes James V. about Pleasant Acres Farm.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: Choose sites based on length and hookup needs carefully. At Thousand Trails Rondout Valley, "My first stay at any TT campground and I wasn't sure what to expect with this campground as the reviews are so mixed... The only problem I had was that my Starlink didn't work at the first site (372 - full hookup) but they let me choose another site (435 - no sewer) and I was happy as a clam," explains Inez W.

    Leveling considerations: Many sites require additional equipment for proper leveling. "The site was level with good power and water. Camp was pretty well maintained and very full," says Jim G. about Timothy Lake South.

    Road navigation: Mountain roads can be challenging for larger rigs. "When you leave you have to drive the wrong way in the campground because of the low hanging trees the correct direction," warns Bill B. about Pleasant Acres Farm, highlighting that proper route planning is essential.
