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. The farmhouse and cabins are located opposite the campsites on other side of route 97. Next to them are 50 acres of wild forest to hike and explore. These accommodations are great for guests who want more amenities but still with easy access to river. Pair campsites and cabins so that all your guests have their best experience.

Camping on Thomas' land by the river is a popular choice for those seeking both comfort and natural beauty. Reviewers frequently mention the well-equipped campsite, complete with canvas tents, cooking essentials, and a convenient location. The sound of the rushing river and the sight of bald eagles enhance the experience, and Thomas, the host, is noted for his helpfulness and attention to detail. Although some mention the potential chill, especially at night, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, making it a recommended spot for campers.

River's Edge on the Canal
We really enjoyed camping on Thomas' land. The view was beautiful looking out over the rushing river and we even saw a bald eagle a few times across the river. The campsite itself is a bit narrow, so keep that in mind if you have small children. But there was plenty of room for the three of us. The canvas tent and bed made for an excellent experience of being outside without sacrificing too many luxuries. And having an extra tent already set up for us was so helpful considering it was raining when we arrived. This camp site includes a large canopy, tables, silverware and dishes, and a well maintained grill. If you are looking to camp but don't want to pack half the kitchen, this site will have you covered.

Forest Overlook
Great owner, excellent location! He helped us use the shower at his Airbnb even though it was at the very last minute, and he was very thoughtful until the end! Would recommend this place to everyone.

Such an amazing spot. The sound of the river and all the eagles flying overhead was unreal. Great provisions and an awsome place to dig in and kick back. We will be back again.

Pulled into a very well labeled easy to find site, well kept, and absolutely perfectly set up. It was a very peaceful getaway. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
