"We were a seasonal camper at this campground. The staff was very friendly and planned events for the campers throughout the year such as wine tasting, halloween haunted forest, water wars and other events for the kids and adults. The water rafting trips are alot of fun. They take you 8 miles upstream and leave you in a canoe or raft and let you paddle downstream to your campground. There is a beach on the river and a nice boat ramp for jet skis and small boats. It was one of the most enjoyable summers we have had and we would love to return at a later date even just for a weekend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel in 2002." |

"Delaware River Family Campground - BEWARE! Stay very far away! When plans to camp at another campground fell through, my husband called the DRFC to see if they had any full hookup sites available on such short notice. The campgrounds reply was "We have plenty of full hookup sites available. Just come on in, no need for reservations." That should have been a warning in itself. This was the first non-rainy weekend since April (we went on the last weekend in June). We decided to make a reservation just in case. We show up there on Friday. Our reservation is marked as a no-show and has been cancelled. The clerk who was helping me says the clerk who took the reservation, put in the wrong dates. They had me arriving on Thursday (a day early) and leaving on Saturday, not Sunday. The clerk then laughs and proceeds to tell me that she was the one who took the reservation. She doesn't know how to change the system to correct the dates and proceeds to call a manager via a walkie talkie. A young kid, no more than 11 or 12 comes into the office and fixes the reservation in the computer. She then asks me if we want to buy gate tokens for $2.00 each (yes, it could cost you $2.00 every time you want to leave and return to the campground!). Another option is to give them a $10.00 deposit for a gate card. This is what we did. The clerk then gives me a map of the campground and draws a path to our site on it. She tells me to go down a hill and make a right turn to get to my site. We proceed to go down the hill and make the right. We ended up in a tenting section not the RV section. After some tight turns on some unmarked roads, we ended up on the road we needed to be one. Looking for site 72, here's site 58, 60, 84?!?!?! Where is 72? Instead of driving around again, I jump out of the car and walk back to where the site might be. The site number was written on an electric box that was hidden behind a bush. The site was between two other RV's. A tree blocked the entrance to the site. We had to get the people on the site next to us to move their car so we could squeeze between the tree and their camper. A very tight squeeze it was. I couldn't believe my husband was able to maneuver into the spot. After getting in the spot we realized we would not be able to slide out our dinette without it landing on the deck of the seasonal camper behind us and we could not open our awning because of the other seasonal in front of us. They claim every site has a picnic table and a fire ring. There was no picnic table at our site. The grass at the site was 8" high. It hadn't been mowed in quite a while. Also, there was no sewer hookup. There was a PVC pipe in the ground with the grass growing out of it. The seasonal people at the camper behind us said they use to have sewers, but they don't work anymore. We could use that PVC pipe for grey water if we wanted to, they wouldn't tell on us! How scary is that! My husband walked back to the office to tell them that we disliked the site. The owner told him, and quite rudely, "Move or be gone". When my husband brought up the lack of a sewer hookup, they said "we've never had sewer hookups here". Yeah, sure! Finally, we were so disgusted by the whole thing we decided to move on. They refused to refund our money. We're in the process now of disputing the charges with our credit card company. Do yourself a favor...Avoid this campground like the plague!! You'll be glad you did! We camped here in a Tent Trailer in 2003." |

"My family and I have camped at this campground many times over the years. We have stayed in a rental trailer on site as well several tent sites. It is by far one of the most beautifully kept campgrounds I have seen. It is located on the scenic Delaware River. The staff are always friendly and helpful, even on their busiest weekends. Now that we have small children it is the perfect place to camp. They are very family oriented, offering lots of themed activites throughout the weekends. Overall, I would highly recommend this campground to any family who wishes to have a pleasant camping experience in a very beautifully kept campground. We camped here in a Tent in 2003." |

"We have camped at this park for quite a few years and our son with his friends for many years before us. You will not find another park as beautiful as this. The location is great, located directly on Rt. 46, within a short distance to stores and other recreation. The staff is always helpful, management tries very hard to keep this park a "Family Campground" for ALL to enjoy. Located on the Delaware River, easy access for tubing, boating and canoeing. We get to talk to many weekenders and they are always as happy with the park as we are. This is a "Must See" park in the Fall with the leaves turning colors and the beauty of the mountains in the foreground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer in 2003." |

"This is an excellent family campground with many well-planned activities throughout the camping season. The large support staff is helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The campground is easy to get to, is located in a beautiful setting with many large trees and is located along the Delaware river. The boat launch area makes it easy to access the river with boats, rafts, canoes or kayaks. I have camped here with my family for over 15 years and have always had very pleasant experiences, even on the bustling holiday weekends. Without hesitation I recommend this campground to anyone seeking a beautiful, relaxing, enjoyable camping experience of any length. We camped here in a Travel Trailer in 2003. " |

"My husband and I have been camping there in July for two years in a row and will continue to do so. Each time we have enjoyed our visits and will go again each year at least one time during the year and if time permits we will be there more often. The staff are helpful, friendly, courteous and they are very family oriented. It is a truly a beautiful campground with what I call "three levels of beauty." The Delaware River runs behind the campground and they have great raft and canoe trips that can be taken and are great fun. They have a FULL array of activities that we can choose to be active in or just sit and relax. Their website is wonderful, up to date, user friendly and they have a full activities schedule shown by a monthly basis. We registered on line with them and when we arrived they had our "check in package" ready and waiting on us, complete with a full site map and a drawing showing our site location, our wrist bands and information was given to us on the gate cards that were available to us. It could not have been easier or more complete. That weekend they had a magician (very good) and a clown, also a petting zoo. Bingo, arts and crafts and other activities as well. All were excellent and those activities only added to our camping pleasure. They have wrist bands for campers and this makes us feel safe as I feel they do have control over security of the campgrounds. I truly can't say enough good things about this campground and we will be loyal campers there for many years to come. We camped here in a Motorhome in 2003." |

"My husband and I have been camping here for 3 years and our families actually started coming here about 20 years ago. The staff is family so the atmosphere is friendly and warm every time we go. They accomodate us to any site was ask for as long as it is available and are very fast to respond to any comments or concerns we may have. They keep the grounds clean and are always around when you need them. The sites that we have stayed on have always been close to the river- EXCELLENT PLACE TO GO! We camped here in a Tent in 2003." |

"The place has potential, but I am shocked to hear that it is family run. They have changed staff completely 2 times in the past few years. I recently met one of the past staff members and was told they just fired everyone both times. Is that how they treat family? There are times the place is really noisy due to it being so close to a main road. It is quaint, and the sites are not very large. It's a shame cause with the right owner and manager the place could really be special. It was nice years ago when you would go and see the same faces behind the desk, but unfortunately things must change. We camped here in a Travel Trailer in 2003." |
