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. Contact us to coordinate for larger group bookings.

River's Edge on the Canal

97% (81)

Canvas tent · Sleeps 24

Camp in style and in complete privacy next to the majestic Delaware River in the comfort of a fully electrified and insulated tent. The ultimate getaway is available in any season. Tent is ideal for two people and includes insulated floor, wood stove, electric heater (fan in summer), and real 8" queen sized mattress for any climate. In a separate conventional tent is toilet with waste bags, toiletries and separate garbage. We do not offer a solar shower -- so please consider bringing your own or... just swim in the river ! Only cell service available is through Verizon and even that is not 100% reliable. Please make contact before you arrive -- if you have any questions or special needs. Bringing a big group? Provide your own gear and setup on various mulched tent sites or rent from us -- and site will be ready and fully installed when you arrive. All tent rentals include air mattresses. We love to tailor the site to your needs ! Across the road is our 5 bedroom farmhouse lodge which can be booked separately by request if you have extra guests or family that prefer indoor living. This has also been an excellent add-on for the shower & bathrooms and for a little 'civilization' during your stay. Consult with us directly for more information. Explore local communities, shops, and restaurants, hike our 50 acres of wilderness or try local trails, float down the river (we take care of transport) or simply relax on a superb deck, under a blanket by your campfire or woodstove. Watch the river flow by and embracing a true back to nature experience. It is roughing it — with all the amenities. Within 10-15 minutes are the towns of Barryville, Yulan, and Eldred where you will find great spots for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Or try your hand at splitting wood and winter cooking on an open campfire.

Old Coop Cabin

Cabin · Sleeps 5

Gorgeous little cabin on 1800s farmhouse estate. Former home to some spoiled chickens — their loss is your gain. Massive stone walls and enormous windows overlook garden and the Delaware river. Short walk to beach and tubing. The coop is a two story structure with living room and kitchen on lower level divided in half by staircase to second floor. Upper level has huge bedroom with king size bed, tiny bathroom, and a generous open area that can be used as an office (with desk), extra bedroom, or sitting area. Guests can roam free around the building -- or free range to garden, river, or 50 acres of private forest. Ask us for a map ! In winter, building is heated primarily by a propane heater in living room. Thermostat is by front door and can be adjusted if too hot or cold. Electric space heaters are located in kitchen and bathroom for extra warmth and can similarly be set to desired temp. The wood stove is in living room and is especially nice in the coldest weather. To maximize wood efficiency, once wood stove is running hot, close the air intake so it burns wood more slowly. By damping air flow, the stove will run for 5-6 hours. In summer, we have a window installed air conditioner located in bedroom that cools that room perfectly no matter how hot it gets. Opening and closing the glass door to this room shares the ac with rest of building if desired but decreases its effectiveness. Windows should only be opened and closed if the above systems are off as it is a waste of energy.

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 absolutely loved our stay at River’s Edge on the Canal! Thomas was an exceptional host—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly generous. Our site was beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully prepared with little extras that made a big difference. He went above and beyond by including a BBQ grill, extra firewood, and even allowing us a late checkout, which was a huge help. He also provided access to showers, which we really appreciated. Thomas truly made our stay special, and we can’t wait to come back!

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.

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.
