Best Glamping near Delaware Water Gap, PA

I really enjoyed this campground. Primitive, has bathrooms and water spigots. Good hammocking trees and wasn't crowded at all. Plenty of privacy from other sites. Close proximity to good hiking and kayaking at Delaware Water Gap but without the crowds of their sites.

Camp Taylor Campground is located on the Delaware Water Gap Mtn. There are miles of hiking trails and direct access to the Appalachian Tr. The Lakota Wolf Preserve is located on the camp and offers discounted tours for campers. Small swimming pond with paddleboat and kayak rentals. Clean Bathrooms. We walked to the point at Mt Tammany for a great view of the river

Beautiful Family owned farm at the foot of Kittatinny mountain along the AT. Very easy drive to hiking in Delaware Water Gap. Owner was super nice and helpful - let us set up anywhere we wanted in the 20 Acre field. Porta-Potty was immaculate! Fire ring and bear hang provided at that site - could easily accommodate a large group. Incredible star gazing! He also has a TENTRR Signature on site for people who like more luxury!

 Our 4rth state in our 5 state trip is New Jersey! We wanted to see Delaware Water Gap NRA & I found a campground by Newton called The Great Divide. This is a private campground. Very scenic with a small lake, a pond & surrounded by woods. This is also the most expensive campground on our trip at $96.11 a night.

     Lots to do for families- they have kayaks for camper use. Horseshoes, tether ball, volleyball, a pool, a playground, a dog park. There's a swimming beach.

 One strange thing is there's a lot of tent sites & they seemed popular. For the amount of tent/popup sites they only have 1 shower per loop. They are very clean & checked often, but they're used heavily during the weekend. I had better luck Sunday evening. A bench outside the bathroom would have been nice to sit & wait. 

 The rv sites were all full hookup on our loop.

   We came in on a Friday & found out this campground ROCKS!!! They have live bands every Friday & Saturday night during the warm months. This might explain the higher rates. Party on!

I stayed at the Gren Anderson Shelter in Stokes State Forest while Section Hiking the Appalachian Trail from the Delaware Water Gap to the NY State Line in November. This shelter offers more amenities than many shelters on the AT including an actual privy. The shelter is your typical structure with three walls and a roof. The site has a bear box, a picnic table, a composting toilet ~100 yards uphill, and a water source ~150 yards downhill (this is a stream and needs to be treated). The shelter did not seem to have a rodent problem but I stayed there in the winter which may have limited their activity. Although the shelter is a couple of miles North of Culvers Gap, there is a road a little to the west and I heard cars drive by every 5 to 10 minutes. The one caution I can offer is that I hiked into camp late and the sun had already gone down. I walked past the shelter and turned around when the trail seemed to disappear. The shelter is to the right while hiking down the spur off of the AT.

We enjoyed staying at Keen lake resort. Loved the lake and glamping.

The minute we arrived at Camp Taylor we knew we were in for something special. Our campsite was very spacious and backed up to a creek, and we appreciated the effort the owners made in keeping all of the sites private and spread out from each other. We booked this trip based on the wolf preserve that is on the grounds (separate fee and reservation), and not only was the tour fantastic and informative, hearing wolves howling from our campsite is something we will never forget.

We expected the tour to be the highlight of our trip, but we were so wrong. We spent four days at Camp Taylor, never left the grounds, and filled our days with the perfect amount of activity and relaxation. The kids immediately took to exploring the creek and woods behind our campsite and of course they loved the small arcade and playground. There is a cute 9-hole mini golf course on the premises, and after renting clubs and balls, had one of the best times of our whole trip laughing and competing for top spot. There was also a lake with a swimming beach, but we did not partake this trip.

We did some fantastic hiking here. One day we headed up past the wolf preserve to the Wildlife Lake. Another day we took the Mountain Trail up the side of Mt. Tammany (the trail goes 500 ft straight up the side, but our four kiddos under 10 were able to manage ok) and took the Fire Road Trail out to the Mt. Tammany overlook. Here you are afforded a great view of the Delaware Water Gap and Mt. Minsi across the river in PA. The whole hike was about 7.5 miles round trip and took our slow moving crew around 5 hours, but the views and wildlife were well worth it. We didn’t see any bear, but saw lots of bear scat, and passed a super chill doe and her two fawns casually grazing next to the trail.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The camp store had a few necessities and importantly for us, frozen treats (which we used as a bribe for some of our less enthusiastic mini-hikers) and chocolate for s’mores (which we somehow forgot). The facilities were clean and well-maintained. We very much appreciated the separate family/handicapped shower with its own toilet and sink for helping our little ones. Quiet hours were strictly enforced, which we appreciated, but we also found that being so far away from other campsites made everything seem quieter and more secluded in general.

We felt like this was family camping at its finest. We’ve done a lot of great camping this summer, from state parks to privately owned campgrounds, and this was by far our favorite trip.

Keen lake is the most cleanest friendliest family environment campsite you will ever find. Beautiful lake great fishing. Activities all day long for the children. Great general store that has everything in it that is open from sun up to sundown. The nachos and ice cream are the best. Super friendly staff. It's big they have tent sites right along the lake the lake is huge there's so much I could say but I would run out of room. I started coming here when I was four and I am now 46 years old and it is just the best place ever. It will always have a special place in our heart. Look forward every year to coming here no matter what age my kids are they all have a blast. From tent sites to RVs to cottages to glamping you name it they have it highly recommend it. Recently went camping to somewhere a little bit closer to home and it's nothing compared to here. It's like comparing Macy's to Walmart. You will never regret coming here. So pack your family up and have a great time.

This is the first time we decided to forgo tent camping and reserve a shelter at a state park. We had a much better experience than we were expecting! The "shelter" is what we would describe as a "cabin"; four walls, a roof, locking door, locking windows, large picture frame front window, four beds(two bunks), a wood burning stove, and a porch. Even compared to our glamping this was luxury!!

There are eight shelters at Jenny Jump State Park. Shelter 2 is a minute walk from the restroom with sink/shower and water. Shelters 7 & 8 are even closer while 4 & 5 are the furthest, may an extra 5 minutes walk? The dead end means there isn't too much traffic, though the road is right there so you can wave to the other campers heading to the restroom or for hikes. There is a trail head at one of the parking lots. During the day the parking lots filled up and there was some overflow parking for day-hikers across the road. We got to see their dogs, so that was a bonus for us! Otherwise, this shelter is not situated too close to the other shelters and feels very private.

We brought battery-powered lights since there is no electricity. There were coat hooks and a built-in shelf for our snacks, games, and other supplies. There was a picnic table and benches inside. We brought camping chairs for relaxing on the porch. We spent most of our time on the porch; cooking, chatting, and crafting while enjoying the sunshine and breeze.

Oh, this shelter is wheelchair accessible. Some of the others are not.

This campground is nestled in rhe mountains of Pennsylvania. This campgound is family oriented, it has a pool, a store, a game room. They also do things for different holidays. There is showers and bathrooms a crick goes through the campground. Therebis pull thru sites, tent sites and cabins.

Mt. Pocono Campground in the Poconos, Pennsylvania is a very active and fun vacation vacation destination! There are lots of amenities for every family member and the staff is friendly and welcoming. There is a huge swimming pool and a toddler’s pool. There is an on-site store with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The game room has pool tables, ping pong, arcade games, library, gym, and so much more! The location is lovely and you are surrounded by the forests of the Poconos. The campground is adjacent to a nature preserve which has beautiful hikes, a river, and lake. The park has FHU 30/50 amp sites with gravel sites. We have really enjoyed our stay here. 👍🏻😉

Small (13-site) Bucks County Pennsylvania campground. The entrance and loop road, along with the campsites are all gravel. Some sites appeared to be more defined than others. Each site had a picnic table, fire ring, and garbage can. No hookups. 

The restrooms were dated and passable; I did not use the shower. 

The lake is separate from the campground and there did not appear to be defined access from the campground to the lake, although there was a sort of path from site 13 that I followed as far as I could. While I could see the lake from this path, there did not seem to be any way to get into the lake (and there was a lot of algae and water lilies). We checked out the lake the next day. There is a (dirt) boat ramp but there was a red flag warning, and the lake had a lot of algae bloom. 

This campground did not appear to be a very popular one; on the Thursday before Memorial Day, only two sites were occupied, and I only saw a few reservation tags for the upcoming holiday weekend. It felt a bit neglected, but it was very quiet. If you are looking for a small, uncrowded campground with no amenities, this would be a good choice, but we were just passing through.

We stayed here because it was the only dog friendly campground in the area. We would have loved to see the wolf preserve at the camp, but dogs weren’t allowed in that part of the camp so we missed it. Campground is close to the AT.

I love this place! Plenty to do, plenty to see and plenty of privacy if that’s what you want. Our campsite was lovely and the people who own this place are so down to earth and friendly. They over extended what it means to be a host in my mind. They were knowledgeable about the surrounding towns, their campground, and basically everything nature related. This was our very first night camping in an RV (we were renters at the time). They helped us with leveling and allowed us to use their phone when we had issues with ours. They removed all garbage at a decent time and the garbage cans were located near the campsites so we didn’t have to walk far at all. The campground is beautiful with a lake, playground, miniature golf course and access to a ton of hiking. The wolf preserve, which is next to the campground, is in walking distance though I believe they will drive you if needed. We didn’t do a tour, will save that for next time. We stayed on a partial site with water and electric. The dump station was easy to access on your way out of the campgrounds. Trees were trimmed and our campsite was mostly flat and easy enough to maneuver (as first timers we did it without much of an issue but we needed some 4x4s and the owner delivered them to our site). Great place to stay with or without children. Other campers were all respectful. We stayed during Covid and everyone was following social distancing guidelines. One downside for some may be the WiFi access. Very poor signal however, we didn’t mind, it actually helped us to let loose and not be so attached to all things digital. I will 100% be returning and likely it will be a yearly go-to for us.

This campground is my absolute favorite. The WiFi is a bit shotty but it brings our family back to nature like no other. The kids are kids!!! They play in the creek, get dirty, build fires and hike on the premises. We have stayed here twice, once with the kids and once without. The family that operates this place are the friendliest and most accommodating hosts I have encountered. They go out of their way to make sure their guests are happy. We went during August the first time and October the second. They had a Halloween haunted house set up. It was wonderful. The kids had such a blast we’re going to make it a point to come annually. We are already booked for this coming October. We even met a group of friends here and planned to return when they do as well. Thank you Camp Taylor!

This was a great campground! We loved walking the trails everyday and then going to see the wolves of course. Our spot was a bit muddy and hard to maneuver due to it being a shorter spot but it worked out great. We ended up being next to a creek in which our kids played in all day.

We had everything we expected for a camping trip. Water, electric and plants of woods. Bathrooms were very clean and shower area as well. Staff was polite. Neighbors were very quite and there was plenty of space between the sites. Make sure if you’re towing, you have a good tow vehicle because the hills on the way there are epic but all so beautiful. Some reviews crack me up. Please don’t expect the Ritz Carlton when you’re camping on dirt. It was all dirty and wonderful. Enjoy your trip!
