ScoutChoose another campground unless you are certain you can arrive before 4pm. Otherwise, you'll not be allowed in. Owner is belligerent on this point, and from other comments, belligerent on other issues also.
We strongly recommend the nearby French Creek State Park campground.
ScoutThought it was super cool that the owner of the campsite came through to see if anyone needed anything and make sure everything was going okay, I also thought the 5 gallon jug of water was a nice touch. The site was nicely laid out and had a great view of the gorge. Loved that we were back in the trees for a little more privacy. My dogs had a great time as well.
TravelerThe camp site was amazing. Everything is neat and clean and really beautiful place so quiet.
Travelerwe 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!
GuidePulling 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.
ScoutThe campsite is beautiful and lovely to walk around, the outside campground cats are the best part though ❣️
ScoutWe stopped here overnight on our way down south. Very convenient location, nice large lawn with beautiful tall shade trees, bathroom was extremely clean and you can see were just recently renovated. They had a pool and some basic playground equipment. Pet friendly. You have to enter the camping area by driving through an RV and truck storage area first. We would stay here again .
GuideStayed 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.
RangerI've hiked the A.T. through New Jersey, and this is probably my favorite NJ A.T. campsite. The only downside is that there is no water, so depending on which way you come in (nobo or sobo), you'll have to collect water before you get here from either Sunfish Pond, or one of the streams before the climb up here. There are 2 privies, one newer, and also a great spot to watch the sunset. Plenty of campsites, and during peak season there is a caretaker on site.

Hike to see wolves: At Camp Taylor Campground, visitors can take a short hike to the Lakota Wolf Preserve. "There is a section of RV spots that are each cut out in the woods so very private. Once you have backed into the spot and leveled out it's a good time... You can take a short hike up the mountain there to see the wolves in the sanctuary. There are moments by the fire you can hear them howl in the distance," explains Julie F.
Strike the ringing rocks: Ringing Rocks Family Campground provides easy access to the unique geological formation. "Lovely trails and the rocks are something else," notes Gregg G., who advises to "bring a hammer" to experience the metallic sounds these unusual rocks make when struck.

Private, wooded sites: Campers consistently mention the secluded feel at Mountainview Campground. "Stayed at one of the primitive sites. Very clean and quite. Bath stalls and showers are basic but clean. Great spot for stargazing. Owners are very nice," shares Scott A. The campground's wooded sites provide natural buffers between camping spots.
Peaceful reservoir camping: Water access and quiet environments rank high for campers. "We did a family dry camp trip here. We had two campers, a 28 ft tow behind and a 38 ft mobile home. We stayed at sites 62 & 63. This place, and these sites, were perfect for a little disconnect from society and a little reconnect with our kids, parents and siblings," says Jamie A. about Worthington State Forest Campground.
Clean facilities: Many campers note well-maintained bathrooms and showers as important factors. "This campground is lovely. Very wooded. Some sites are more private than others but all have a wooded and private feel. The bathrooms/showers are clean and well maintained," writes Kathy G. about Camp Taylor Campground, adding that "The small mini-golf course is a fun distraction for a bit."

The park requires all food items be secured in vehicles or trailers when not in use.
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds fill quickly from May through September, especially on weekends. "We reserved two nights, but the first night we were not going to be able to arrive until after 9. After talking to them, they would not allow us to come late, but did refund the first night," explains Kyhlea D. about arrival policies at Mountainview Campground.
Bathroom facilities vary: Quality and type of restrooms differ significantly between campgrounds. "The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. I thought with COVID they were cleaning them more, but for the entire weekend, someone's #2 remained all over the toilet, floor, and corner wall," warns Jules T. about one facility, while others receive praise for cleanliness.
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas for children. "The campground has great playgrounds, several well-marked trails, and functional (if dirty and rustic) restrooms and showers," says Shayna about Hickory Run State Park, adding that "The visitors center boasts the most modern updates and a truly lovely interactive museum displaying the history and current wildlife of the park."

Hookup limitations: Many campgrounds near Tatamy offer only partial hookups. "The sites are large and many have nice mix of sun and shade. You can launch your kayak easily from the shore. I can not speak to the condition of the bathrooms, I stopped going into them 6 years ago as soon as I bought a cassette toilet to avoid them," explains Ruette W. about Spruce Run Recreation Area.
Access challenges: RVers should note the sometimes difficult approach roads. "PLEASE NOTE: if you are towing or have a motorhome, make sure you follow the directions on the website. Coming in from the wrong road could lead you to a hairpin turn and steep hill," warns Jim G. about Driftstone Campground, an important consideration for larger rigs.
Site selection: RV campers recommend carefully choosing sites based on size needs and hookup requirements. "Ok so let me start off by saying. If we still had our smaller travel trailer this review would've been at least 4 stars. However this place is not the place for you if you have a fifth wheel. The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed," cautions Brian C. about Colonial Woods Family Resort.
