Best Campgrounds near Milanville, PA

The Delaware River corridor frames most of the camping options near Milanville, Pennsylvania, with several established campgrounds situated along the waterfront. Soaring Eagle Campground in nearby Equinunk offers tent sites, RV spaces, and cabin accommodations with riverfront access. Skinners Falls Campground, just across the New York border, provides waterfront camping with boat-in access options. The region includes a mix of privately operated campgrounds like Keen Lake Resort Campground in Waymart (about 25 miles southwest) alongside more rustic options. Most campgrounds in this area support multiple accommodation types, with several offering cabin rentals alongside traditional tent camping areas.

Campground operating seasons vary significantly throughout the region, with most facilities open from late April through mid-October. Seasonal closures affect availability, particularly after Columbus Day when many private campgrounds shut down for winter. River access points may become limited during early spring when water levels rise. Reservations are strongly recommended for summer weekends when riverfront sites fill quickly, especially at popular destinations like Narrowsburg Campground. Many campgrounds provide amenities including electric hookups, drinking water, and shower facilities, though primitive sites with fewer services can be found at some locations. Several campgrounds rent equipment for river activities. As one visitor noted, "This campground was nice they offered river activities (for purchase) tubing, kayaking, rafting. They had a small camp store and friendly staff."

The Delaware River represents the primary attraction for most campers in this region, with numerous reviews highlighting water activities. Riverfront sites typically receive higher ratings, though they may experience more crowding and noise, especially during summer weekends. A camper observed that while Skinners Falls offers great riverside camping, "this camp site has became a go to place for City folk looking to party...avoid the summer weekends and holidays at all cost if you are looking for some old school camping." More peaceful experiences can often be found midweek or at campgrounds farther from the main river corridor. Several campgrounds feature large, well-spaced sites that provide reasonable privacy despite high occupancy. Bathroom facilities vary considerably between locations, with cleanliness being inconsistent at some heavily used campgrounds during peak season.

    Russell Brook Campsites

    Clean, Friendly, and Right on the Water

    Loved this place! It's clean and well-maintained - even the restrooms. Every site is well-equipped with its own water, electricity, fire pit, and picnic table. The best part is the waterfront sites. We were right next to a small brook, and falling asleep to the sound of the water behind our tent was amazing. Everyone we met was super friendly. We will definitely be back!

    Dingmans Campground — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

    Beautiful, wooded, campsites

    I’m stopping through for the night and so grateful that I did. This campground is lovely. The spots are wooded so you have a bit of privacy. And you are so close to activities throughout the park. I’m changing my schedule to enjoy the campground and park a bit tomorrow.

    Salt Springs State Park Campground

    Worked for me

    I stayed in late September in one of the drive in spots. There were no other campers bc of the season- and it’s mid week. I love this park and it’s close to my house so I just wanted to crash there and wake up early to hike. It was quiet all night. The bathrooms are very far from tne sites and it was visible where some people had relieved themselves in the bushes. There is no potable water anywhere so bring some. I enjoyed it but during the on season or busy times tnere is zero privacy between sites other than sites 13 and 14. Def wouldn’t stay here during summer for that reason.

    The Peekamoose Valley

    Not all sites open

    Despite current info posted online and even at the Lower Field site, not all sites are open. Only the Lower Field site is open. We walked down the hill, across the bridge, and looked at a few sites in each direction. It was walk-in only and about a 5-10 minute walk to the first site. The setting was nice, close to the creek, with a stone fire ring at each. You can see the folks in the next site but there’s quite a bit of privacy. There wasn’t much wood laying around to make a fire, so plan ahead. The ports potties are in the parking lot so it’s likely that you won’t make the trek up to them. Make sure you know the rules about how far away from the water you should pee and whatnot. I believe it’s on the info sign nearby. We have a roof top tent and we were stopping in the middle of a long drive so we just waited until dark and popped it in the parking lot and then left in the morning but I don’t think you’re supposed to do that. FYI they empty the dumpsters at 4am on Monday and then do the ports potties at 7am. Yay.

    High Point State Park Campground

    Relaxing and Well-Maintained

    Stayed 2 nights and it was really nice. Camping for summer is pretty limited to Sawmill Lake, as the other locations are for groups or winter camping. Camps are secluded from each other and most if not all have an elevated space to put tents or chairs. Each place comes with a lamp hang, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Bathrooms are spaced out. No running water except for pump founded outside of the bathrooms. Toilets are pump flushed. Showers are only located INSIDE High Point State Park, not throughout the campsites, but entry is free for campers. One hiking trail is accessible in Sawmill campground, 3 others are accessible on the road outside of the campground and the rest are located inside the park. When you arrive you have to check in with the park office for your campsite tag. Hours are 8-4. Park officials come through the campsites pretty regularly, a few times a day which is nice. Areas are clean and well maintained.

    Cranberry Run Campground

    Don’t Stay here!!

    It’s not a campground. It’s where people stash their rvs, some of whom seem to live here permanently. Caretaker was rude. Sites were all rocky and many on steep inclines. Complete waste of our time. Plus, the site looks nothing like the pictures they post, which is an area you can’t camp at. Don’t stay here.
