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.

River's Edge Sunset

Highly recommend. Amazing site. The river is fantastic, and so tranquil in the morning and late evening. Great for fishing too. Bed and tent were very comfortable and the kitchen setup had everything we needed and much more.

River's Edge on the Canal

Great place to spend a day!

The place is perfect for spending a summer day. Quiet, cozy and clean, and there are more than enough items (tikis, lights, tables, cocking wears) for camping. The bed has real mattress! I do recommend this place if you are still thinking to choose places.

River's Edge Sunset

A camping trip to remember!

The site was amazing! We were fortunate both mornings to a bald eagle perched at OUR SITE!!! Thomas was very kind and attentive. This particular site though doesn't offer much privacy. A large group showed up on the second night. Very loud, used our toilet loo 😠! As they stood over our campsite and peered in making us feel very, I then realized that they could see every bit of our site from above. Besides the rude camp site neighbors, this spot was amazing. I'd recommend and even stay again.
