Campground Overview

About River Bend Group Campground

River's Bend Group Campground offers a rustic riverside retreat along the Delaware River, where primitive sites blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural beauty. This secluded campground provides an authentic outdoor experience with basic amenities and easy access to water-based recreation.

Situated in Walpack Township, New Jersey, River's Bend is part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The campground features five group sites accommodating 5-15 people each, set in a large grassy field surrounded by towering pines and hardwoods. Each site comes equipped with a fire ring, picnic table, and bear-proof food storage, ensuring a comfortable yet wild camping experience.

The campground's location along the Delaware River makes it an ideal base for paddling adventures, with a trail leading directly from the sites to the water's edge. Hikers can explore nearby sections of the Appalachian Trail, while history buffs may enjoy visiting the preserved Millbrook Village within a short drive. The absence of modern amenities like showers or electrical hookups reinforces the campground's focus on connecting visitors with nature in its most unadulterated form.

River's Bend caters to groups seeking a more isolated, back-to-basics camping experience. Its proximity to the Big Flatbrook Creek and the Delaware River provides ample opportunities for fishing, swimming, and wildlife observation. The campground's no-frills approach and prohibition of alcohol and generators ensure a peaceful atmosphere, making it well-suited for nature enthusiasts and those looking to disconnect from the bustle of everyday life.
