SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
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.

TravelerLackawanna State Park Campground
Quiet getaway
The state park is beautiful. The site was very nice. The park itself is very big with many activities available such as boat rentals and a swimming pool. There's also an amphitheatre which hosts specials. During our stay the only activity we made it to was the pool. The main reason we didn't do more was the distance. We have a motorhome so we didn't have additional vehicles to get to and from places. We walked to the park which according to my Fitbit was 1.5 miles away. That doesn't seem too bad until you realize it's mostly hills in both directions! We are a fairly active young family who has no problem with a bit of a walk but after that experience we decided to just spend the remainder of our trip hanging out at our site. It's a good thing we only stayed 2 nights because our 10 year old might've lost his mind with boredom if we stayed longer. Overall, the site we had was great and I'd recommend it. My husband and I may come back for a couples date weekend.

Camp Mohican Outdoor Center — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
Great lodging options and trails!
I've visited the MOC a bunch of times, and have taken training classes here also. There are campsites for tent camping, cabin stays where you can rent a whole cabin or rent a bunk in a cabin with others. There is a store as well as food options. It's a great place to visit whether you grab a meal, a bunk, or just take a hike. The Appalachian Trail crosses through here also.

Deerfield Campground — Promised Land State Park
Nice for a quick stopover
Stayed for a quick weekday overnight at a primitive site—fine spot overall. Pros: Restrooms and showers clean and in working order. Pet-friendly. Nice surroundings (though nothing extraordinary). Easy access with a sedan. Cons: most sites are very close to one another with little privacy. Fair amount of road noise. Quiet hours didn’t seem to be enforced—some folks playing music until midnight.

Tobyhanna State Park Campground
Awesome lakeside camping 🤩
We were looking for a lakeside campground with a spacious campsite that could comfortably fit two large tents and two vehicles. We chose Tobyhanna State Park, and it turned out to be absolutely wonderful.
We stayed at Site 113, which had plenty of space on the right side of the campsite for two large tents, with enough room to park two vehicles as well. While the campsites are fairly close to one another, most visitors come here to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, and everyone seemed very respectful of each other’s privacy.
Just a one-minute walk from our campsite, there was a very clean restroom, hot showers, and a laundry facility. Right next to it, there was a volleyball court, as well as easy access to the lake with a boat launch and great spots for fishing.
On our very first day, the park rangers warned us that bears sometimes visit the campground, so they recommended storing all food in the car overnight. We followed their advice and had no issues.
Overall, I would give Tobyhanna State Park a perfect 10 out of 10. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back!

Happy Days Campground
Excellent campsite
We were looking for a campsite on our way up north and we’re so happy to find this one. While it is a commercial site. It is located in the woods. It has full hook up and portable water at the site. We couldn’t be happier with a warm welcome we received late at night and the cleanliness of the bathrooms and each site. I would highly recommend this campsite.

Tall Pines Campground & Canoeing
Sweetest Campground Around
This was the sweetest campground around!! They deliver fire wood right to your site along with anything else you need. Free delivery of amazing pizza on Friday nights(delivered by a 1969 pink beetle!!). There is a giant river, a dog park and the camp ground is close to town, but far enough away so that you still feel like your camping! Amazing bathroom/shower facilities and a clean swimming pool:)

GuideThe Pines Campground — Promised Land State Park
Good place
We had a great campsite 038, mainly because we booked the site right next to the restroom and hoped no one would reserve the one closest to it, which ended up being the case. The neighboring campsite on the other side also became vacant, so we had plenty of privacy. Otherwise, the sites would have felt a bit cramped. The beach is about a 5-minute walk through the woods. I highly recommend taking a walk there after dark to look at the stars. It’s absolutely worth it. Shower location only near the beach and be ready to pay for it with quarters The restroom is very close from our site and clean, but it’s surrounded by trees, so it’s well hidden and never felt like a disturbance. Our site was much more secluded than most of the others. I would also recommend site 032, as it seemed even more private. Verizon barely had any service, except early in the morning and late in the evening. T-Mobile worked much better. Overall, it’s a nice campground with a beautiful lake. We really enjoyed spending time kayaking, and if you don’t have your own kayak, you can rent one there

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.
