Just finished our third trip to Dingman’s, this year and back to back weekends. We really like this campground. It’s close and easy from Northern NJ. Secluded sites, at least when the leaves are still on the trees. Huge difference between this weekend and two weeks ago.

Only complaint this trip was that the bathrooms were a total mess. Normally they are quite clean.

• Full general store.
• No cell or WiFi service anywhere on the campground but you can find it about 10 min or less away.
• Easy access to Delaware River.
• Large field for kids to run around.
• Dogs allowed.
• Fire pits at each site but no grates to cook on.

We’ve camped along the Delaware several times before and it’s always been hit or miss with all of the different campgrounds. Dingman’s Campground was by far the best. The reservations and check in went as smooth as can be, staff are super helpful and friendly. At check in you get a lot of area information which was a big help. The camp sites are nicely separated overall. Picnic table and fire ring at every site. Wood is available at the general store but it’s expensive at $8 for a small bundle. The bathrooms / showers are the cleanest we’ve ever seen at any campground. They are newly built or refurbished and spotless. Noticed lots of tent sites that have electric and water for small pop ups or RVs. Dogs allowed. Dingman’s is federal property and patrolled by federal park rangers. By day they cruise around in their SUVs and by night on foot. They are no joke so it helped keep the noise down from the larger groups as well as offering some security. Highly recommended and we even booked another stay while checking out of this past one! Hard to even come up with a negative comment.

No WIfi or cell service anywhere in campground but about 5 min down the road you can find it.

Waterfall in pic was a 5 min drive from the campground and then a 40 hike. Worth it!

Take this review with a grain of salt because it was during Covid so the place was practically empty, which we were happy about. That said, the sites are not very private and there is a very large area that are open sites with no natural dividers. This promotes large groups that tend to be loud. We had one such group last weekend. I’m sure we got them back when our kids starting running around as soon as the sun came up! When running under normal circumstances there is a pool and mini golf. The pool looked ok, forget about the mini golf, it has fallen into disrepair. I can say that the grounds were clean and everyone was friendly. We ended up with a dead battery and the campground came and jumped it for us. There is no swimming allowed in the river at all. Dogs allowed. Drinking water & garbage very accessible but only one place for recycling. Porta Poties also throughout the grounds.

First, it is a state park so it has many of the things you would expect like a beach area, picnic areas, playground, volley ball, pavilion, etc. We went out of season so there were no lifeguards, or anything “open” at the pavilion. We are always after campgrounds with as little going on as possible other than the nature so this would not be a place for us during the summer when I imagine it gets quite packed. There are about 50 camp sites but many of them, from 1 to 30ish are wide open with ZERO privacy. That said, it’s great for large groups that book a few sites next to each other. There were 3 groups during our stay. Which got pretty loud if you were in sites in the 30s. Starting there, sites get more separated and a wee bit secluded. There are only 4 dog friendly sites, which we need. They are 42-45. Be careful with site 44, no good place for a tent. The other are nice. There is one spot for showers and bathroom. They were really clean. Same for dishwashing facility. So depending on what you’re looking for, it has something for you. Like I mentioned, we like quiet spots so the fact that it has the potential to be too loud in peak times meant 4 starts from me.
