The River's Edge campsites sit on the shoreline of the Delaware River at the western edge of New York State overlooking the mountains of Pennsylvania. Our canvas tents and open air platforms perch between the river and the former Delaware & Hudson Canal which was once was used to transport raw goods by barge to New York City via the 'port' of Port Jervis. The remnants of the canal walls are throughout the property including a 300 person theater which we created to both preserve and feature this industrial history. It also makes a great place for an event or a movie night. Today, the original canal towpath, along which barges would be pulled and floated downstream, is a trail that links all of the campsites over 5 acres and at the furthest end an eel fishing camp that is in operation from June to October (say 'hi' to Jim). In the early 1900s, the train replaced the canal as the primary method of moving goods into New York and if you are lucky — you will hear the train rumble by along the river on the Pennsylvania side. There is something spectacular in the absolute still and grandness of the river, the mountains and the ongoing industrial history of the valley. It is a reminder of the way things used to be.

River's Edge on the Canal

Perfect camping set up

This is an amazing camping/glamping site where they’ve really thought of everything to create an easy and seamless stay! Two of us are experienced campers and we pitched a tent in the ample mulched space provided. Two were new to camping (and one was 7 years old!) and they stayed in the canvas tent. It’s perfect for a first camping experience because it’s so easy. The lights were really cute, the grill, cookware, and table settings made dinner a breeze, and the provided chairs were comfy for lounging. You can see and occasionally hear the other camp sites, but they were very well spaced and it felt private. We especially loved how it was right on the river and had beautiful river views! The 7 year old went wading even in October. The site was described as “simply perfect” by a first time camper, and we’d love to come back!

The Lagoon

Camping with a gorgeous view

We had an amazing stay at this Lagoon campsite! Everything was perfect—from the stunning views to the well-maintained accommodations. The host was incredibly helpful, providing clear guidance on what to bring and offering great hiking suggestions. We had everything we needed and more. The tents, toilet, and cooking utensils were spotless, and the propane grill worked perfectly for burgers. The only downside was the outdoor shower attached to a small shack. While we didn’t mind using an outdoor shower, it was located in someone’s yard. When we went to use it, a birthday party was happening, which made things a bit awkward. We ended up just rinsing off while chatting with the guests! A partition would be a great addition to give guests more privacy in that situation. Other than that, I highly recommend this campsite and plan to return in the future!

Forest Overlook

My son and I had a wonderful weekend (2 nights) at this secluded overlook. Just enough trees are removed provide open space for our hammock, a platform for our tent, fire ring and more, but plenty remains to ensure privacy. Just what I was looking for :)

River's Edge Sunrise

Camping with family

Beautiful site right by the Delaware river. Everything was clean and secure with comfortable queen mattresses. The wood stove heater inside the tent was perfect to keep us warm. Even though it rained through the night we were able to light the campfire, make smores and play games as the trees provide good coverage. I had taken fire starters and the supplied wood was ample to campfire for several hours. My daughter wanted to celebrate her birthday camping and this was perfect!

Forest Overlook

Great hillside campsite!

Great campsite! This site is more secluded than the other sites, which is what we preferred. Short walk or drive to the river. We brought kayaks and dropped in at Lackawaxen and paddled to the campsite. It was a good 4-5 hour run. Even stopped for ice cream along the way. Owner is super helpful and full of knowledge. We will be back.
