Disappointing Experience at Kittatinny Canoes River Beach Campsites Crowd

If you're looking for a relaxing weekend with space to stretch out, Kittatinny Canoes River Beach Campsites may not be the right choice. The campground is very crowded, and there's little space between campsites, which can make it feel cramped. On top of that, you’re charged per person instead of per campsite, which feels unreasonable given the conditions. 

The restrooms are outdated and could use some maintenance. The staff wasn’t helpful and seemed uninformed, which added to the frustration. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this campground if you’re hoping for a peaceful, enjoyable camping experience.

Relaxing Riverfront Camping with a Few Downsides

A few of my friends stayed at Kittatinny Canoes River Beach Campsites recently, and while the location is fantastic for river enthusiasts, there are some areas that could use improvement. 

The highlight of their stay was the easy river access—perfect for kayaking and swimming. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the camp store was well-stocked with essentials. However, the campsites are quite small and very close together, which takes away from the overall tranquility, 

Especially during weekends when the campground gets busy. 

Noise from the nearby roads is constant and noticeable no matter where you are on the grounds. The lower riverfront sites offer amazing views and are great for tent campers, but RV sites closer to the entrance have obstructed views and no direct river access. Facilities like bathrooms were clean, but not as clean as bathrooms designed by my kid in a game Toca Boca but it’s clear they could benefit from some upgrades. 

Overall, this campground is worth considering if you’re here for river activities or need a convenient base camp. However, the cramped site sizes and road noise might not make it ideal for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

River Access made easy

The perks of this campground is the easy river access.  Besides Dingmans camp nearby or others on the NJ side of River, this is the only riverside campground before reaching NY.  The river access alone makes it worth a visit if you plan on kayaking a long stretch and need a home base, like we did. Friendly and attentive staff, clean bathrooms, full camp store, swimming allowed at your own risk.  They offer kayak tours with shuttle service. Small campground stretches up river side with several site options. The sites are very very small and close together.  The lower river front sites offer the best views for tent campers.  The upper RV/camper sites near entrance have some water views but most are obstructed by trees and sit high above river.  You cannot access river from here but it’s an easy short walk down to river access area.  The rest of campground is very cozy with a few sites near a small creek.  It was very quiet during the week, hardly anyone there.  We enjoyed the river almost to ourselves.   The weekends get very busy as most come to swim and bbq. Overall still a very nice spot for a weekend. Our reason for 3 star rating is the size of camp sites and road noise 24/7 due to two busy nearby roads.  We could hear it from anywhere in the campground, and some tents sites sit right along the side of the road.  But, we would stay again for the convenience of river location and accommodating staff.  We stayed in site 130 with 34’ trailer.

Room for improvement

I have been camping at Kittatinny (Barryville) for over 20 years.  I have noticed that the campground has progressively gotten more urbanized as the years pass. 

Since covid, more people have taken up camping, thus making every campground more crowded, but Kittatinny has gotten to the point that it's pretty much one person on top of the other. 

I wish they would enforce "quiet hours."  Loud music everywhere, the people screaming take away from the camping experience.

Also, this is a request.  AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile do not have signal at camp.  Once you're at Kittatinny you might as well be in the middle of the desert. 

Last but not least, the bathrooms really need to be modernized.

Great for camping

Not much to do around the park except walk around. We went on opening day so there weren’t many campers- maybe like 4 or 5. The people in the store were very friendly and the grounds were clean. There was Wi-Fi available but it did not work at all- so be prepared to use your satellite or go off grid since cell service was unavailable or minimum. We had a beautiful view of the river though while camping and enjoyed the trip. The river sites were gravel and level which was nice to not have mud when we got out since it rained all weekend. Electric hookup was good- we did not use the water hookup, but it was available. They have cable boxes, but no cable offered.

Just don’t! Not unless you have to…

Look, I know that it takes all types… but this place is a no go.. Falsely advertised full hook ups to find out the sites are electric/water only. The facilities are completely trashed and moldy with no sign of up keep… They make you wear these ridiculous are bands that get you nothing… They just mark you separate as a camper vs the people coming for water sports… This place is marketed toward tent campers so there are minimal spots for RVers, and yet they allow tent campers to set up in the few RV sites. First night we had a family of 10 show up at 10:40pm to start setting up their tent campsites in an rv spot, and they partied way into the wee hours of morning… Second day was a Friday and it just became significantly worse. No one holds campers accountable to quiet times here, and please don’t take it the wrong way because my husband and I love to have fun, but at 2 am, it’s a little excessive… every site is completely trashed when everyone leaves and they’ve only got one real employee that seems to be busting his butt around the campground… my last complaint would have to be that the park services and EMS kept showing up to try and apprehend these fanboat people in the river. Otherwise it has the potential to be one of the most beautiful parks we have stayed this far.

Good Overall Campground

We stayed here twice, in 2020 an 2019. Our first trip we were on the road side, not near the river, but right next to a stream. In 2020 we got two sites right on the river. Both times I liked the campground. It was clean, quiet enough but they weren't overly policing the place so you could have a good time and listen to music. The bathrooms are porta potties unless you go to the main bath houses, which are reasonably clean and maintained. The wait to go rafting last year was ridiculously long, they need new computers. But, the prior year it was fine. There's some wifi access around the main store, away from that there is zero wifi and near zero cell signal, so offline access for music and other stuff.

Overall I liked the place and would definitely go back.

Dirt & Gravel

Route 15/209 was beautiful! We enjoyed driving through the quaint town, outdoor restaurants, and mountain views!

Upon arriving to the campsite, we were welcomed by a young teenager who held the door for us, a very nice way to start the weekend.

Our site was just across from the welcome center, at the beginning of the camp, in the middle of the gravel parking lot, 100’ from the highway... a sure disappointment. When asked if there were other spots closest to the lake, I was told, “Its a river, and there is a back-in spot.”

A quick look around told me that sites were packed tightly and for our maiden voyage, did not want to get stuck in the mud. We decided to keep our spot in the lot.

We were glad to see there were water and electric hookups and a dump site. There was even propane, should we need it. There was wifi, but it wasn’t working.

After unpacking, we took the dogs and started out to explore the grounds. There really was no place to walk, other than on the roads, all other areas were packed with tents, even home-made tarp tents. Most dogs, even though tied up, barked as we passed... which was a bit stressful for us and the dogs... One path took us along the highway, our views were dumpsters and highway traffic.

We found the river, and wow, it was beautiful!

As we walked toward the river, we noticed all the sites with river views were residents. Aside from maybe 5 other trailers/RVs, the remaining occupants were in tents.

If you’re looking for a place to sleep, eat, and party with your friends with your focus of water play, this could be the site for you. We were hoping for grassy fields, river views, and water fun. The amount of gravel, mud, and weeds did not provide the atmosphere we were looking for. The small area for river wading or fishing was crowded with others and their barking/lunging dogs, not peaceful. We left after one night and will not return.

I didn’t appreciate the lack of consideration due to COVID. Seemed like they went ahead and booked every spot they could. It was my first time camping so I was happy to be out but people shouldn’t be on top of each other like that. They need to rent every other site. I heard complaints about noise but only encountered a little noise. I did like the river rafting and also it was just fine being outdoors and everyone was enjoying themselves.

If your looking for a relaxing weekend an space to stretch, this is not your place. There is no structure an everyone is literally on top of one another.

It’ll do

My family has been coming here to tune for years but this was my first time camping here. The sites were close together and everyone was super loud which didn’t bother me. I enjoyed hearing other people’s music and laughter. What did bother me was the fact that their website said they don’t allow fireworks but there were plenty, which terrified our dogs. It wasn’t particularly clean and the staff weren’t super friendly. Not sure if the site is always as busy as it was or if it’s people wanting to escapee their homes during COVID quarantine. They have showers and bathrooms but they weren’t very clean and we avoided them as much as possible. We ended up having a good time and we’d return but it’s not our first choice.

Noisy, obnoxious, crowded

A great place if you're a college kid looking to blast music and party into the late hours. Loud music blasting until 1-2am (ie: reggaeton being blasted by loud car speakers) and it picks back up by 9-10am. Nobody wearing masks in communal areas, not a place I'd call a campground. We showed up to our reserved site occupied by another group. The employees offered us a prime river spot due to the inconvenience only to find that spot being used as overflow parking for the giant party going on around it. When told to the employees I was told "it happens." We ended up staying a third, equally unimpressive spot. Imagine taking a slice of NYC and planting it off the side of the road in a picnic area.

The worst!

If I could give it ZERO stars, I would. Trust what you have read out there on social media, this site is the worst. Firstly, this is more like a picnic ground on the side of the road than a campground, and I have been to many others. Sites are on top of one another (see photo). The green tent is from our group. All the other tents are from 2 camp sites combined...11 tents on 2 sites! We wanted a site with electrical and water because we had our sons with us. There were many other families there as well. The site directly next to us (in the picture) had in excess of 15 people there! They were young (late teens/early twenties). As the night progressed, the massive fireworks began. Okay, seems like fun. Then, they continued into the late evening. At 12:40, the gentleman who patrols the camp caught them in the act. He told them to stop. Mind you, this was not the only site lighting fireworks. Then, AFTER that, the party stared. We understand being young and partying. There was music, loudness, drinking, etc. So, 12:40, okay. 1:00, eh, alright. However, around 2:00, yes 2:00, the yelling and fighting (literally) began (yelling included racial epithets-as they were able to refer to themselves in those terms). A fist fight ensued. We decided it was most prudent to not interject ourselves into the situation as we had children with us. I went to find a cell signal, as there is none almost anywhere there, by the office. I happened upon the camp“security” and told him to put a stop to it or I would call the police. He listened and did. Then, he patrolled several more times. Eventually, he stopped and, here we go again! Another yelling and fighting match breaks out. All this eventually dies down at 3:30!!! Great! No one slept. The office responded to our complaints the next morning by telling us that they were leaving and blackballed. We cut our experience short. Do NOT camp here.

Loud, no rules

No pool, play ground, dirt sites. This campground caters to river rafting. If you want a prime tent site (one near the river) you need to pay for river rafting packages. There is no enforcement of noise, and it seems no limits to people per campsite (larges parties on the sites.) Only two bath houses so they can get pretty overwhelmed when the campground is busy. Security is a big concern, gates are open along the campground from the road so anyone can enter and leave all hours of the night. Will not be returning.

Party zone

We stayed here the summer of 2019. We brought our pop up camper and two teenage kids. They didn’t have any activities and no pool so the girls were bored plus the site was so loud at night with parties and loud music. The music started back up first thing in the morning so sleep wasn’t an option. We were able to move our site but it was not enjoyable. The bathrooms were filthy and lots of traffic coming in and out for their rafting business. I do not recommend if you are looking for relaxation.

If nothing else is available

We stayed at this site mostly because this was our only free weekend and there werent any other places available. It was nothing special but every site has a good amount of space for a tent, a parking spot, and a pit for a fire. We had a great time but mostly because of the company. The people who work there are very friendly but other than a short walk up the road there isnt much to see. We also were there at a time of year where the mosquitos were really bad and we even had to change sites because of that. The advantage to staying here is if you use their other resources such as their boating trips but that was not our interest.
