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.

Cozy, quiet, polite staff
Two weeks in and the staff and people are so kind.

GuideNew York City North-Newburgh KOA
Pleasantly rustic and quiet for the area
We've only stayed overnight at this campground. Roads are all paved, and some sites as well. They stagger the campers so that you don't look right into another camper, which makes it feel like you are camping in the woods.
Lots of trees so watch DVD or OTA television as you likely won't get satellite TV in your rig. Large swimming pool and playground for kids. There is an activity center where you can get something to eat, and sit on the deck to enjoy the scenery.
Sites are level. Staff are friendly. The camp store is large and well stocked in just about anything that you could need.
Enough trees that if you have a large rig and are towing you need to use some care leaving your RV site.

Samuel F. Pryor III Shawangunk Gateway Campground
Quiet place with great location
Good, quiet place to spend the night, but there are a few things to keep in mind. This is primarily a climbers’ campground, so by around 9 PM most people are already asleep and the lights are off. If you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet night, that’s definitely a plus. Sites 8–15 were our favorite because they are away from vehicle traffic. Site #8 is probably the best of them. Site #15 is only about a 2-minute walk from the parking area at a brisk pace, but that’s without carrying gear. If you have a lot of equipment or heavy bags, these sites may not be the most convenient choice. The showers cost $0.25 per minute, and don’t be surprised if you end up sharing the changing area with another person. Overall, this is a simple, quiet place to sleep and rest for the night rather than a destination campground with lots of amenities

Tobyhanna State Park Campground
really clean and easy to get around, kinda crammed :/
we loved both of our stays here! it was mine and my partner’s first time camping and we had a great experience. the layout was really nice, and easy to get to. the bathrooms were really close to walk to and VERY clean! the only issue we faced was the closeness of the other campsites. we went during off season and during the week, so it didn’t really affect us but i can see how this place can get crowded and a little noisy during peak season. with all the being said, it was WONDERFUL!! we LOVED the late checkout (3pm) and loved the peaceful atmosphere! i would definitely recommend this place for beginner campers!

A Hidden Gem in the Woods: Edgemere Flag Ridge Site 11 Review
Pulling into Site 11 at Edgemere Flag Ridge feels like discovering a hidden campsite that most people pass right by. The site sits comfortably off the beaten path, giving it a secluded feel without being difficult to reach. Access was easy and any standard vehicle should have no trouble getting in. Traffic on the adjoining road was minimal, which added to the quiet atmosphere.
Amenities are basic, consisting of a picnic table and fire ring, so do not expect much beyond the essentials. That said, the surrounding woods made up for it with plenty of easy to gather firewood nearby, which was a refreshing change from some other public sites.
At night, the sky opened up nicely for stargazing and made for a peaceful camping experience. Cell service was intermittent, enough to occasionally check in if needed but spotty enough to still feel disconnected. If you are looking for a quiet, simple campsite with a sense of seclusion and easy access, this one is worth considering.

Edgemere Roadside Campsites — Delaware State Forest
Silver Lake near Little Bush kill Creek
Stayed at Silver Lake for a two night camping trip and overall had a solid experience, with a few drawbacks.
The campsite itself is decent in size and easy to set up on, but it’s located along a fairly active road. Expect a couple vehicles per hour, including louder trucks, which takes away from the secluded feel. There are also signs the area may have been used for roadwork dumping in the past, with some leftover blacktop visible.
That said, the site works well for a functional camp. Plenty of nearby downed wood for fires, and the area has a good “working camp” feel if you don’t mind putting in a little effort. We had no issue gathering firewood and keeping a fire going, even after rain.
Weather was rainy for most of the trip, but a simple canopy setup made it manageable. The site drains reasonably well and didn’t turn into a mess.
Wildlife wise, ticks were present, so plan accordingly with repellent and checks.
We also had a brief visit from a forest ranger checking on smoke in the area. Interaction was professional and quick.
Overall, this is a good spot if you’re looking for a straightforward, no frills campsite and don’t mind some road noise. If you’re prioritizing privacy and a true backwoods feel, you may want to explore other sites in Delaware State Forest.

Hiking trails: Promised Land State Park features several well-marked trails for day hiking. A visitor recommends "the Conservation Walk on the island is short, easy, and beautiful. Well-marked." Multiple trails provide varying difficulty levels suitable for different experience levels.
What campers like
Spacious sites: Narrowsburg Campground offers riverside camping with good site separation. A camper mentioned the area is "nice and clean, right on the water. Spread out just enough to feel like we had good privacy."

Family activities: Honesdale-Poconos KOA provides structured entertainment options. One visitor shared, "Activities for the kids like movies (it was Moana), a pool, mini golf and a bounce area. We had a fantastic first camping experience for the kids (and dogs)."
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: River conditions vary significantly throughout camping season. Early spring brings higher water levels while late summer might have low flow. Water temperature remains cool even in summer months.
Weekend crowds: Skinners Falls Campground experiences heavy weekend usage. A regular visitor advises, "Avoid the summer weekends and holidays at all cost if you are looking for some old school camping."
Noise levels: Some riverside campgrounds permit music and gatherings. Reviews indicate variable enforcement of quiet hours. Midweek camping typically offers a more serene experience than weekends or holidays.
