Quiet after 10
I got there late in the afternoon and the place remained busy with people coming and going until well after dark. By 10, it finally settled down and no one bothered me the rest of the night.

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds near Erwinna, Pennsylvania range from full-hookup RV parks to rustic tent sites along the Delaware River, making it one of the more varied camping destinations in Bucks County. Ringing Rocks Family Campground in Upper Black Eddy offers tent, RV, cabin, and glamping accommodations with full hookups and operates from April through October. Colonial Woods Family Resort, located about 5 miles from Erwinna, provides similar amenities with access to boat-in camping opportunities. The region includes several state parks with camping facilities, including Nockamixon State Park Cabins and Tohickon Valley County Park, both within 10 miles of Erwinna.
Many campgrounds in the area require advance reservations, particularly during summer weekends when sites fill quickly. The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, approximately 20 miles north, offers primitive boat-in campsites along the Delaware River. "The campsite in this review has two major points to express beyond the actual review. First, this site is only accessible by canoes or kayaks. There is no public road access to the campsite," notes one review of Tom's Creek Boat In Campsites. Road access varies throughout the region, with some areas requiring high-clearance vehicles during wet conditions. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from April through October, though some private facilities remain open year-round. Cell service can be spotty in more remote areas, especially in the valleys and gorges along the Delaware River.
Campers report high satisfaction with waterfront sites, particularly those along the Delaware River. Several visitors mentioned the peaceful setting and proximity to hiking trails as key highlights. The Appalachian Trail passes within 15 miles of Erwinna, providing access to primitive camping opportunities for hikers. A review of Worthington State Forest Campground noted, "The tent camping area was right along the river, some sites with direct access, some you'd have to walk a little more to the larger access areas." Family-friendly amenities are common at many campgrounds, with swimming pools, playgrounds, and organized activities widely available. For those seeking more solitude, the state forests and recreation areas provide a more natural setting with fewer amenities but greater privacy and connection to nature.

"Store has most, if not all you essentials. ( had to get an extension cord because I forgot one of mine) so, if everything was positive, why did I give it four stars??"

Great off season camping
We camped here in our pop up for our Anniversary in November. We were impressed with the cleanliness and available amenities for the time of year we were camping in! Close proximity to DWG and PA AND NJ attractions.

Large sites & friendly staff!
Another great experience. Sites were large. Staff was friendly with many different things for kids to do. Great base camp for local hikes.

Snow Hill Roadside Campsites — Delaware State Forest
Great spot!
Our travel trailer and our friends' pop up both fit on this site with no problem. The only issue we had is that there is a bit of a ditch that turns to mud after a rain. We were off the beaten path so very little traffic. There was a bathroom with pit toilets down the street. Plenty of places to hike and fish also. We loved it here!

Just ok
We came here to ride our ATV's...since it is more than 3 hours from home, we decided to book this spot for the night. We have stayed in a bunch of the DWSF sites. This one was kinda meh. Nearer to the road so traffic at all hours. Picnic table and fire ring, and as always, evidence of people chopping down live trees for firewood. Ugh! We set up our tent and had a nice fire, albeit there was broken glass on the ground. Biting flies worked overtime on us. Not a terrible stay, but we prolly won't book this one again. And these sites are no longer free. As out of state-rs, we paid $21 for one night. Still a good deal.

First time camping
As far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.
Adeline M.GuideWorthington State Forest Campground — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
Nice but noisy
Two night stay, large loud parties make it hard to enjoy but once most of them left it was nice to walk down to the river. Bath house with toilets and showers, not all lights working. No swimming access but boat access and trails for hiking.
Coll G.TravelerCamp Taylor Campground
Privacy & quiet hours are king
We’ve been to Camp Taylor twice now for tent camping: September 2021 and May 2023. We stayed at the rustic tent sites both times, and there was room for 2 cars and 2 tents. Depending on how you want your setup, there are some that are more secluded and others that are close together and would be great for group camping.
The staff are all lovely and take the time to explain the rules both in-person at check-in and on the forms they provide at the time of booking. They are not hiding how seriously they take rules like quiet hours, and it will keep campers like me coming back. If you are respectful of the folks around you and especially during the posted quiet hours, you will have no problems.
The office and shop keep supply of snacks, firewood, and gifts. There are flush toilets mapped in spots of the tent sites (SUCH a pleasant surprise! I was expecting a porta-potty or vault toilet), and hot showers are available at the same complex as the office.

Wonderful stay at Evergreen Lake
We had such a wonderful stay at Evergreen Lake and Fishing with our 43’ fifth wheel. From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm, welcoming, and well cared for. Having WiFi, electric, and water included in the cost of our stay was a huge plus and made settling in completely stress-free. The grounds are meticulously maintained—you can tell there’s a lot of pride and care put into this place. It’s incredibly peaceful here, the kind of quiet that actually lets you breathe and relax. On top of that, we met so many friendly, kind people during our stay, which really added to the experience and made it feel like a little community rather than just a campground. If you’re looking for a serene, well-kept spot that feels welcoming and comfortable—especially with a larger rig—this place is a gem. We’re so glad we stayed here and would absolutely recommend it.
