    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.

    Time to launch

    Another spectacular year at Kittatinny Barryville! Our sites were private, clean, and spacious. The portable toilets, never the highlight of anyone's outing anywhere, were cleaned daily and as accommodating as they could be. We did hear some noise on our Friday night, but I mentioned to the staff in the camp store and Saturday night was perfect. The campground was efficient picking up garbage and keeping everything clean. Aryssia and Lisa checked us in efficiently and with a smile. Sara got our large group's boating paperwork processed quickly, and the guys down by the river sent us out (after their dumb speech) with only minor delay. Overall, we've been to other Upper Delaware sites, and for us, Kittatinny is the best one out there. (Note: If you're reading this review and wondering if there's anything you can do to save camping for the rest of the world, your neighboring campers have one simple request: please leave your loudspeakers at home -- YOU are the cause of most of the complaints about this campground, not Kittatinny or its staff, and if you cannot go a night without loud music, stay home).

    Fantastic scenery

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.

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!

We did have a large group of ~15 people, 2 dogs and a rabbit. The owners were super friendly and kept checking up on us. Be warned that your campsite will still be somewhat near other people, so it would be helpful not to blast music at late night hours. There is running (cold) water at the sink where you can wash your stuff next to the bathhouse which also has cold water. The toilets are portable bathrooms, but they are the cleanest portable bathrooms I have ever been in! It is even scented (and you can smell it from the outside). You don't even smell whatever business is in there even while you are doing your own business. Although there is no running sink in the bathroom, they do provide hand sanitizer, but you can just walk a bit to the running sink. The waters were clear, and there was water activities nearby. You can also buy firewood and ice from the owners. You won't get much cellular service here if any at all. But the night sky was beautiful when I came to visit. It was clear and so much stars out, we even caught sight of a comet and 2 shooting stars! This place is one of my favorite campsites thanks to Kevin and Ann (the campsite owners).
