    For 5 years we've organized a big group of friends & family to tube down the Delaware River together through Kittatinny Canoes. Every year it's a blast which is why we keep coming back! Kevin & Vanessa are THE BEST! They're available to answer all questions and respond quickly via email / phone. They help me get our big group organized and into the water so it's all fun & no hassle. Only 90mins from NYC and such a fun and relaxing outing. Highly recommend!

    Arriving in Pond Eddy. We made it!

    My family took a very nice day trip here. We traveled up from NYC on a Sunday. Amongst the group, many of of have never been water rafting and were nervous about the 7 miles we would have to complete. Upon arrival we signed waivers and purchased our water shoes. We were then driven By a bus a few miles up to our start site. The river had its calm parts but other times things got a little intense. At not time was I in fear of my safety it was Fun. At some point during our rafting we pulled aside to the left and had our lunch along the river We packed our garbage with us and got back in our raft to finish our 7 miles I would absolutely do this again! I encourage people from the city to come out here and experience this, the town can use more diversity and New York City people need to take a chance step out and enjoy the outdoors. .

    Camping?
    Ray S.

    This review is specifically regarding the camp sites. If I could give it ZERO stars, I would. Trust what you have read out there on social media, this site is the worst. Firstly, this is more like a picnic ground on the side of the road than a campground, and I have been to many others. Sites are on top of one another (see photo). The green tent is from our group. All the other tents are from 2 camp sites combined...11 tents on 2 sites! We wanted a site with electrical and water because we had our sons with us. There were many other families there as well. The site directly next to us (in the picture) had in excess of 15 people there! They were young (late teens/early twenties). As the night progressed, the massive fireworks began. Okay, seems like fun. Then, they continued into the late evening. At 12:40, the gentleman who patrols the camp caught them in the act. He told them to stop. Mind you, this was not the only site lighting fireworks. Then, AFTER that, the party stared. We understand being young and partying. There was music, loudness, drinking, etc. So, 12:40, okay. 1:00, eh, alright. However, around 2:00, yes 2:00, the yelling and fighting (literally) began (yelling included racial epithets-as they were able to refer to themselves in those terms). A fist fight ensued. We decided it was most prudent to not interject ourselves into the situation as we had children with us. I went to find a cell signal, as there is none almost anywhere there, by the office. I happened upon the camp "security" and told him to put a stop to it or I would call the police. He listened and did. Then, he patrolled several more times. Eventually, he stopped and, here we go again! Another yelling and fighting match breaks out. All this eventually dies down at 3:30!!! Great! No one slept. The office responded to our complaints the next morning by telling us that they were leaving and blackballed. We cut our experience short. Do NOT camp here.

    A mighty nice spot

    As far as camping goes, this place has a terrific location and does a great job of upkeep. Have been here a number of times over the years, and we have our annual gathering in a set of sites right on the bank of a stream that feeds into the Delaware. The campsites are neat and kept clean, they are prompt on emptying the garbage and the port-a-johns are also neat and clean. Each campsite get a garbage can, a fire ring and garbage bag. Fully loaded spots with running water and electic hook-ups are available for RVs and pop-ups. They offer indoor and outdoor showers and full restroom facilities a short walk from whevere your site is located. The campgound store is fully stocked with mostly everything, including firewood. and stays open until 8pm The facility also sponsors on-site paint ball, zip-line, and river rafting (canoes and kayaks too).

    We had so much fun rafting. The day started off cloudy but turned out sunny and warm. The rafts were comfy and the river was perfect temperature and height.

    Fantastic scenery

    I think other reviews said it but I'll include my thoughts too -- the noise curfew is non-existent…read more We are night owls so we didn't mind. Let's dive in ... Campsite (3/5): These are a bit stacked on top of each other but our group had two next to each other so it didn't impact us too much. Ambiance (4/5): These campsites are right on the water which is absolutely stunning! You really feel like you're in nature, but there is a major road near the top campsites and even by the water you can hear road noise. There was a huge group at the top which partied into the night though we're up late anyhow and it was no issue for us. Consider earplugs if you're not like us. Bathrooms (4/5): These were relatively clean for a campground bathroom. Minus a star here because on the last day the women's room was out of order -- but I believe it was due to another guest, as a member of our party heard someone say "oh no it's not flushing!" TL;DR: Great for those late-into-the-night campers. If you stay here make sure you get a waterfront spot.

    This is my second time doing a float trip with Kittatinny Canoes, but my first time from this base…read morecamp and I would never do it again. The employees working there were not helpful at all. After we were dropped off at the launch point, one employee gave a quick safety speech and then disappeared. No one helped us tie our tubes together or navigate the steep drop-off with our tubes to get into the water, which was extremely slippery and rocky. We were told the float would take 2-2.5 hours. This was wildly inaccurate. It took us an hour to float from the drop-off point back to camp. When we previously did the trip from Barryville, the float was much longer. For what we paid, this was a complete waste of money. Then, when we reached the ending point around 4 p.m., we were harassed by three teenage employees who were yelling at us and demanding that we bring up our tubes immediately. There was no one else going out with those tubes at that time, and we simply wanted to sit and relax for a few minutes since the float had been so short. The employees were unnecessarily rude and nasty about it. I feel bad for the people who paid to camp out on this site. It was pathetically small and claustrophobic. Do yourself a favor and book a float trip with another company. After this experience, I would not return to or recommend Kittatinny Canoes at either base camp. EDIT/UPDATE: After the owner's response, I wanted to provide some additional context because I don't feel her response accurately reflects what we experienced. First, regarding the float time: the website states that the trip is 2-3 hours, not 2-2.5 hours. I understand that river conditions can affect the timing, but the conditions on Saturday were considered normal summer levels, with no flood warnings or high water advisories. Our float was significantly shorter than the advertised timeframe. We were also surprised by how close the drop-off point was. The bus barely drove us up the road before letting us out, and the location itself seemed like an odd place to start the trip, being let out in what appeared to be a vacant grassy field directly next to the Riverside on the Delaware townhomes, not even 3 full miles away. I feel bad for the people who live there. It did not feel like we were out in nature, enjoying lush vegetation. I could literally hear landscaping equipment buzzing along the float. As far as the landing area, we did not see anyone trying to get out of the water with kayaks while we were there, nor did the teenage employees tell us that kayakers were waiting to come through. They were not helping people navigate the landing area; they were primarily standing around and yelling at guests to bring their tubes over to the trailer. If they had politely explained that we were blocking kayakers or asked us to move for that reason, that would have been completely understandable. That is not how the situation was handled. Our issue was not being asked to move. It was the attitude and lack of helpfulness from the staff from the moment we arrived. We would have been happy to cooperate if the situation had simply been explained to us. Unfortunately, that was not our experience, and the owner's response does not change what we personally witnessed during our trip

    You lost out on $900 this season, and annually. Agree with the recent reviews. Take the Dingman's…read moreparking option and route off your website entirely. Emails and calls for months, constantly got the run around and was told on the phone I need a group of 30 in order to park there and be taken to River Beach and float down, instead of the 14 that I was bringing to your company. Gladly chose Adventure Sports for $200 less and canoeing the lower river. Will actively use other outfitters going forward for our annual reunion trips. You tried to undo last years trip and sorry I gave the benefit of the doubt that a group would be honored this year.

    I believe this is one of the greatest places to go for kayaking in PA. This company offers 17 miles…read more(one of the few), 10 miles, and 6 miles kayaking. If you are looking for a good workout then 17 miles is definitely the option to go for. My group and I kayaked a year or two ago and it took approx. 5 hrs nonstop to get it done. Thus, you may need to show up early to the place around 9 am to account for resting and other delays. Also, the company closes at 6pm and if you return the equipment past 6pm then you will be charged of some penalty... Anyways, my group and I also kayaked 10 miles and it took approx. 3 hrs to be finished. The water in this river is very calm with some currents that may be able to help you out to gain speed from time to time. There is nothing dangerous at this river so you can easily enjoy and have an amazing time with your group. There is a cliff that you can climb almost at the end of the ride where you get to jump down into the water. The height can be approx. 10-15 feet high. The feeling that you get from jumping down can be amazing!
