Beautiful park. Lots of sights to see. Lots of nature to be in. Beautiful views all around. Lots of hiking trails throughout. Several waterfalls. It is so amazing here. Definitely need to see at least once in your life. I will definitely find a way to spend more than 1 day here.

We recently stayed at a campground near the Delaware Water Gap, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The campsite is very scenic and surrounded by lush greenery, with beautiful old trees and stunning landscapes all around. It’s located right next to the Delaware River, which adds even more charm to the setting. You can reserve a site online, by phone, or even just show up and pick a spo... We recently stayed at a campground near the Delaware Water Gap, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The campsite is very scenic and surrounded by lush greenery, with beautiful old trees and stunning landscapes all around. It’s located right next to the Delaware River, which adds even more charm to the setting. You can reserve a site online, by phone, or even just show up and pick a spot — but there are specific rules, so it’s a good idea to check the website before coming. Each campsite has a designated fire pit and a grill. The grills aren’t super clean for direct cooking, but they work well with foil or skewers. The campground is clean and well-maintained. Staff regularly tidy up the sites, mow the grass, and clean the fire areas before new guests arrive. The staff is friendly and helpful — you can even buy firewood at the office. There are recycling bins and secure trash cans, which helps keep the area nice and tidy. The location is convenient too — just 5–7 minutes away, there are gas stations and stores, and about 10 minutes away is a Walmart, so you don’t need to bring much with you. It’s very peaceful — quiet neighbors, lots of wildlife like chipmunks, raccoons, birds, and rabbits. There are open fields for larger groups and more private, cozy spots for a quiet getaway. The campground also has a playground for kids, restrooms, showers, and a dishwashing station. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. It’s a beautiful, relaxing, and well-organized place — highly recommended! Just come and enjoy nature. It’s truly a gem.

Went for a weekend camping trip and float on the water. Absolutely amazing slice of nature. The facilities were nice. The road contains some larger pot holes that can be maneuvered with a watchful eye. Had a blast and now have memories the kids and I will have forever

Got a spot 5! View was really nice! There was no water available at the spot, make sure bring a basket if you don’t want to drive back and forth for clean water.
