Six stars of perfection

Our layout for this trip - May 31 - June 2 - Tent camping with 3 kids ages 12, 10, and 8. 2 other tent campers and 6 RVs

The Good

1. Location - beautiful set right up against the Delaware river. You can paddle it right from the campgrounds personal launch or start up river and land at their launch. Wooded sites are just as pretty sans the water views. Near some amazing hiking, biking and kayaking.

2. Facilities - the bathrooms seem to be brand new, if they're not they are kept in immaculate order. EVEN THE PORTAPOTTIES were cleaner than most other campgrounds bathrooms.

3. Hookups and plenty of them - very RV friendly

4. Wide open spaces - volleyball nets, horseshoe pits, big open fields. Bring your own equipment though. Footballs, baseballs...whatever. Plenty of room!

5. Friendly - the people that run the check in and store are very friendly. Also the campground is within national park limits so it is policed by the park police. When a group of teens arrived on our last night there the police were down there several times just driving by to maintain their presence. It was good to see.

The bad

1. Price - We normally camp at national park run campgrounds which makes our camping pretty cheap, but at $52 dollars a night along the river it was a bit expensive. With that said this will still be a regular place for us. ( they honor the NPS senior pass and also the access pass, which get you 50% off your stay)
