Reservations are available at Camp Taylor Campground, a privately operated site in Columbia, New Jersey, running from mid-April through October with nightly rates between $33 and $42. The access road draws consistent attention in reviews: the hills leading in are steep, and campers towing trailers are advised to bring a capable tow vehicle. Sites run up to 40 feet for RVs, with full hookup options including electric, water, and sewer, plus a dump station near the exit for easy departure.
The layout gives the campground a spread-out feel. Many sites back up to a creek, and tree cover between sites provides a degree of separation that reviewers consistently mention. Tent camping areas are kept apart from RV sections, which reduces generator noise for those sleeping in canvas. Quiet hours are enforced, and multiple reviewers note that the combination of distance between sites and that enforcement makes nighttime noticeably quieter than at comparable campgrounds. Cell service is limited, and WiFi reception has been described as weak, though some campers consider that a feature rather than a drawback.
The on-site Lakota Wolf Preserve is the most frequently cited draw. Tours run on weekends and depart from the campground, with discounted rates for campers. Even without a tour, wolves are audible from the sites after dark. Nate & Erika L. describe "hearing wolves howling from our campsite" as something they will never forget. Beyond the preserve, the campground connects directly to hiking trails leading into the Delaware Water Gap area, including a route up Mt. Tammany with open sightlines toward the river and Mt. Minsi in Pennsylvania. The swimming pond, paddleboat and kayak rentals, mini golf, and a small arcade round out the on-site options. The store skews toward gifts and basics rather than full camping supplies, so stock up before arrival.
Campers exploring the region can also find places to camp near Pahaquarry, including Worthington State Forest Campground — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area to the north and the Appalachian Trail- Designated Backpacker Campsite 2 to the northwest for those continuing on foot. Firewood must be purchased on-site at $5 per bundle; outside wood is not permitted due to spotted lanternfly restrictions. Book early for summer weekends, as creek-side sites fill quickly.
