14 campgrounds with availability this weekend
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.
"I stayed on a lakeside electric/water site for 5 nights in August 2020. It was SO BEAUTIFUL. We had SUPs and kayaks to take on the lake and our sites were right next to the boat launch. "
"We didn’t have a view of the lake, instead we were in someone’s back yard lol. It wasn’t a big deal. The site was well maintained and flat which were the most important."
"This camp site is conveniently located by the river. Which is really the only reason it gets 4 stars."

"We liked this site and the one next to it the best out of all of the sites."

"This is a family campground right in the middle of everything there is to do around the lake and in the area ."
"Right on Lake Wallenpaupack. Boat slips available if you own a boat. Pretty quiet. Bathrooms old but well kept. Water and electric."
TravelerFree site ran by Peekemoose forest. There are supposed to be 12 along throughout the valley, this is the only one we were able to locate. Was able to access easily with a minivan and has a nice flat area. Can see the highway from the site.
ScoutOctober leaves starting to fall makes for a very quiet, peaceful midweek evening in one of the two dispersed car camping sites. Exactly what I was hoping for - private and empty and lovely. Easy to find - two dispersed car sites are to the left at the fork in the road before the trailhead.
GuideStayed October 14 without reservations because website showed lots of availability. Office was closed (M-F 8-4) so submitted honor system envelope with cash and stayed at Site 041 on Carpenter loop. Shower building was a short walk and was spacious enough. Water temp didn’t quite reach hot but was warm enough.
Electric kept on tripping breaker.
ScoutI stayed here in March 2026 for a night before going snowboarding at Belleayre Mountain. It was in the middle of a snowstorm on a Tuesday night, so I had the whole place to myself, which was nice.
ScoutNice campground, bathrooms are clean but dated, first come first serve for the sites.
Travelerbeautiful quiet space, great home base for the Catskills and small towns around here. note there's only a few spots. road conditions were fine.
ScoutThis clothing-optional campground has a highly toxic, intrusive, and vindictive environment. During my stay, the seasonal permanent residents('perms') subjected me to intense harassment, inappropriate sexual advances, and severe social retaliation/rumor-spreading when those advances were rejected. The situation escalated to the point where an employee had to intervene for my safety. Furthermore, despite management allowing my photo to be taken in costume at a party, I was intentionally blocked from the community group where the photos were posted, leaving me unable to monitor how my image was being used. Avoid this place if you value your privacy, personal boundaries, and safety.
RangerI'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.
ScoutPast reviews has mentioned that the office seems to be closed often, while I found that to be true I had no reason to contact anyone. This is definitely one of the cleanest quiets site I’ve ever visited
