A calm fall day on the Delaware River. This time of year offers a whole new view of the park as 70,000 acres burst with the colors of fall. Take some time to come see for yourself.

Let's Plan Your Visit

The best trips start with a solid plan. It also doesn't hurt to have a backup plan. It's pretty exciting to go away on a trip, even if it's for a day, isn't it? Do you have a plan if the thing you want to see is closed, or full of people when all you want is a quiet place to picnic, or walk your dog? Our best advice is to be flexible.

What kind of outdoor adventure are looking for? We have plenty to see and do here, but it all starts with you. Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? Are there any rules you need to know before you visit? These are the questions you should ask yourself. Once you decide those answers, you are on your way to a fun memory.

Campgrounds

When it comes to camping, we've got something for everyone. We've got group camping for the larger group. We have river camping that allows you to travel the Delaware River. We even have camp sites for small groups and backcountry camping, too! We have Worthington State Forest adjoining us on the New Jersey side of the park and numerous family campgrounds on both sides of the river mean there's lots of camping availability. Remember to book early.
