River Beach Campsites
Overview
River Beach Campsites offers a scenic escape nestled along the banks of the Delaware River in Northeast Pennsylvania. This campground serves as a gateway for outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Known for its rustic charm and waterfront access, the park provides a simple, nature-focused experience that prioritizes the sights and sounds of the river over modern resort distractions.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just south of the historic borough of Milford, PA, the park occupies a prime stretch of riverfront property. The surrounding landscape is defined by lush forests and the winding waters of the Delaware, offering a tranquil backdrop for any camping trip. The location is ideal for travelers who enjoy mountainous terrain and the serene atmosphere of a protected national recreation area, where the pace of life slows down significantly.
Amenities & Park Features
The park focuses on providing essential facilities that complement its riverside setting. Campers have access to direct river access for launching watercraft or simply enjoying the view. On-site amenities include basic RV sites, clean restrooms, and hot showers to ensure comfort after a day of exploration. A notable feature is the canoe and tube rentals available through their partner services, allowing visitors to easily plan a day on the water without bringing their own equipment.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the campsite, guests can explore the charming streets of Milford, home to the Grey Towers National Historic Site. Nature lovers will find plenty to do with proximity to some of the state's tallest waterfalls, including Raymondskill Falls and Dingmans Falls. The area is a haven for hiking, with numerous trails weaving through the national recreation area, offering breathtaking overlooks and diverse wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the seasons.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is a perfect fit for adventurous families and couples who prefer a primitive, outdoor-centric environment. It is particularly well-suited for paddlers and anglers who want to be steps away from the water. If you are looking for a quiet retreat that emphasizes recreation and natural scenery over commercial amenities, River Beach Campsites provides the authentic riverside experience you are seeking in the Poconos.

We were checking out very early, this was a quick overnight. The water spicket wouldn't shut off after we disconnected. It was pitch black, there was no lighting. It was very hard to get out. No staff was available to assist with the water. I had to leave a voice mail and go.

Stayed here with friends for the Labor Day weekend. where to begin? First of all, the location of this campground is terrible. It’s right on the highway and all you hear 24/7 are trucks j-breaking and cars honking. Additionally, none of the campground rules are enforced. It’s one thing to play music during the day or evening, but totally unnecessary for there to be extremely loud music and karaoke playing all night. Not to mention the explosive fireworks and just general refugee camp style of tent camping going on here- literally 6 or 7 tents per some sites with almost just as many vehicles. Totally cramped and loud. The only redeeming quality of this campground was the staff, who all worked so hard to keep the bathrooms and amenities clean for guests. I wouldn’t recommend this campground unless you stay for a night or so to for water activities on the Delaware Water Gap (for the convenience). Other than that not worth it. Again, thanks to the staff for going above and beyond to keep the bathrooms clean.

Love the location of this campground as it is right on the Delaware River. Good PX and very nice staff. Good bathrooms but on busy holiday weekends people take 15 plus minutes in a public shower where there is a long line. It might be helpful to post signs advising a time limit on use of showers. Either that or install coin operated ones that shut off after 5 minutes. Would also help to manage that resource. Otherwise, had a great stay and look forward to my 3rd year next year.

We had a truly beautiful experience at Kittatinny — wonderful people, perfect weather, and gorgeous grounds. Kayla and Vanessa went above and beyond, finding us the perfect site after an unusual water issue at our original booking, even though it was one of the busiest weekends. They personally drove us to see the new creek site to make sure it was I preferred replacement site. Their kindness, patience, and dedication made our stay exceptional. Highly recommend!

Rafting Trip Review Be prepared: You will likely pay well over $400 for one raft holding six people for a 3–4 hour trip. Whether your group is all adults or a mix of adults and children, you will still only receive one raft unless you pay additional fees. If you are booking for 6 people and want more than 1 raft, book separate reservations (minimum 3 to a raft). The policy assumes six adults can fit comfortably in one raft — something not clearly stated online, where it only notes a minimum of three people. In past years, I’ve always been able to request two rafts, but as of this year, they will no longer accommodate that request. I wish this change had been made clear during the booking process. When I called to request two rafts (as I have many times before), I spoke with a supervisor named Chris. Unfortunately, Chris was rude, condescending, and dismissive. He was short with me, referenced another customer’s spending inappropriately, and displayed neither the calmness nor professionalism expected from someone in a supervisory role. I ended up paying an extra $36 to secure two rafts. When I later called to get an email confirmation, I spoke with Carol. She was a breath of fresh air — pleasant, empathetic, and professional. Carol took the time to apologize for how I had been spoken to, clearly explained how the rafts are set up, and confirmed the recent change in policy. She also avoided making unnecessary suggestions (such as removing coolers to make space) and truly represented what good customer service should be. This experience has unfortunately left me with a negative impression of this location. While I appreciate Carol’s professionalism and hope for a smooth on-site experience, I will likely look elsewhere for future trips — and recommend others do the same unless policies and customer service improve.
