The sound of the Delaware River sets the rhythm at Driftstone Campground, a family-run operation on the Pennsylvania bank that has been drawing repeat visitors since the 1960s. River Road runs alongside the property, quiet enough that campers use it for morning runs and bike rides. Sites along the water go fast, and as Luis B. puts it, "Riverfront is the way to go." The campground sits within easy reach of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and nearby options like Camp Starry Night at Gulyan Farms and Hamilton River Primitive Campsite give groups with mixed preferences additional choices in the corridor.
Sites are large across the board, with water and electric hookups included. Reviewers consistently single out the bathhouses as a standout feature, with showers described as notably well-maintained. The camp store carries groceries and supplies, the pool was open during recent summer visits, and organized weekend activities give families a structured option alongside the river access.
On the water, Driftstone has a boat ramp suited to small watercraft and kayaks available to rent. Tubing and rafting outfitters operate nearby on the Delaware. Fall visits bring views of the hillside foliage from the riverfront sites. Easton, Pennsylvania, about thirty minutes south, provides restaurants, a farmers market, and the Crayola Factory museum for day-trip variety.
A few practical notes before booking: RVs and tow vehicles should follow the directions on the campground's website carefully, as approaching from the wrong road leads to a hairpin turn and a steep grade. The dump station can be tight to navigate with larger rigs. Sites in the back west section offer more seclusion but run slightly uneven, and a feeder road behind that area generates some traffic noise. AT&T signal tested well in at least one recent visit, and the WiFi drew favorable comments. Those planning a trip to places to camp near Mount Bethel will find Driftstone among the more fully equipped options in the area.
The season runs mid-May through mid-September, and reservations are available, which matters for anyone with riverfront sites in mind.
