Thomas is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

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 Lagoon

There was a freak snow storm when we went, but Thomas was there with our campground ready, and even offered a cabin due to the weather. While our stay was short I will recommend any of their sites, or cabins. Super clean spacious, and the host was awesome.

River's Edge Sunset

You cannot go wrong here!

Amazing views, Bald Eagles and Shooting Stars! Thomas has literally thought of everything! This spot is amazing and we took a little walk to see the other sites nearby and I really think you can’t go wrong! The temps went down to 28 and between the heater in the tent and our heated blanket we weren’t cold at night. Thomas had our preordered firewood nicely stacked and kindling all set up in the fire pit, the table was set and chairs nicely set at the fire pit facing the river. Parking for one vehicle right at the top of the site was perfect. The “bathroom” tent was better than a port a potty. We camp often and not having to bring our own stuff was perfect. We would definitely stay here again, in fact, we’re planning it now. Thank you Thomas for the most amazing camping experience. This is 5 star camping for sure and a 5 star host!

Forest Overlook

Amazing campsite, 10/10!!

Our experience camping here was amazing! The area was a perfect set up in the woods and walking distance to the river. Thomas had a fantastic set up of chairs, cooking utensils, tables and more! We really appreciated the tent pop up & wooden platforms for dining & putting a tent on, this made prepping, cooking & eating that much easier Thomas was extremely communicative, provided nearby hikes & places to visit, was always available to provide more water, firewood and able to help We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and cannot recommend more. Thank you Thomas!

River's Edge Sunrise

Thomas is a great host through in some freebies and was very knowledgeable about the area. We were first time at his property. He was very hospitable. He even gave us access to a Airbnb that he wasn’t using an order to give us some extra accommodations would highly recommend paying a visit. and what a beautiful view of the river truly worth the visit

River's Edge Sunrise

We loved camping at Sunrise Edge! Thomas was extremely understanding and accommodating. The heated tents were a life saver and just having everything ready before we arrived was so wonderful. We will definitely come back!

River's Edge on the Canal

Cozy and Intimate

This is our second time visiting Rivers Edge. Such a cozy environment with such an involved host. Had everything needed aside from food, drink and any other personal items. We can’t wait to come back and try out the other campsites until we’ve experienced them all.
