Just camped here last night with friends. The campsites were kept pristine, the bathrooms were very clean, and the views were beautiful. A great place for fall camping! read more

I've been looking for a campsite by the water for a LONG time that would give you enough seclusion to really get away from it all without feeling like your space is being infringed upon by too many campers. This place fits the bill!! You'll love it. read more

Had a great time here, Aug. 4,5th, 2014. Did some kayaking , water in river super clear, and shallow in spots. Hiked up to Sunfish Pond, steep climb, but worh the effort. Picked tons of blueberries and wine berries, wonderful. Saw signs of bear, but no luck with the beast itself. Campsite was great, on water with the best view!!!! Whats with young adults and packing as many as possible at one site, and blaring a radio .? Hello, !!! Pit toilets, please avoid at all costs. Use the newer shower/restroom for all that. Oh, and last but not least, Poison Ivy everywhere here., proceed with caution. read more

My boyfriend and I camped in the park for 2 days. It was a great experience. We picked up small branches and made campfire at night. It is a quiet place. During the second night, a raccoon came to our camp site and ate our trash. So remember do not put trash out and never keep any food in your tent! I was so scared in the tent ,because it could be a bear! read more

BEARS!!! AND THEY ARE NOTTT AFRAID OF HUMANS! Within the first 45 minutes of our arrival: We arrived on a Friday at around 1pm. We dropped off my dad who is an older gentleman and my sister.  My hubby and I went to the local Walmart to get ice and some firewood.  Exactly 35 minutes later I get a call from my sister stating that there were four bears in our campground.  My father, did exactly what you're supposed to do, beat on pots and pans for noise, and hollered very loudly to scare the bear off. We were just getting on our way back when I received the call to inform me of all of this, I immediately called the park and told them that my senior citizen father (79 years of age) and my sis were in this situation and that the bear wouldn't leave.  They immediately called the park ranger.  My sister called me back five minutes later saying the bear had gotten more aggressive, she was panicked and afraid for our dads life.  I then called the office again stating that my dad was under attack by this bear that not just wouldn't leave but was physically lunging at him.  The park ranger was still not there.  All in all, we got there fifteen minutes later and the Rangers were STILL NOT there.  He came about two minutes after we did. Thats 16-17 minutes later ! what if my father had been under physical attack?  There was however an employee whom they sent because the Rangers were slow, who had no idea what to do in this situation.  My sister had asked her "what's the best thing to do, and the poor girl answered a simple ' I dunno'......when the ranger got there he was crabby, and very blatantly annoyed that there was no one under actual physical attack....he went on to give us a (very rude speech) about the difference between an attack and not an attack lol.  I mean really.....yes I know the difference sir.....but I'm not there to see the situation with my own eyes, when my sis screamed over the phone saying "it's lunging at dad" and the phone drops And I lose her....I had no option but to assume the worse.  He gave us no slack, specially dealing with a senior citizen.  I must also inform you that the only food we had left with them, since we hadn't unpacked the car fully, and we had been warned about leaving coolers at the campsite at all, ever,or we would get fined, was chips that my dad and sis were munching on while we were gone, and a loaf of bread.  Nothing else.  Five hours after the incident above: By this time we have switched campsites for a more 'open' one that had become available suddenly.We are all having dinner on the picnic table, one second they weren't there and we are all relaxing, from the corner of my eye, within a split second I see four dark spots on trees....big dark spots, quick, like flies, but a LOT bigger.  My sis screamed, my husband yells, and I look and I see that big mama bear running........running towards our table, my dad happened to have his back against the direction she was coming from, and he was right on her path in between her and the table, and right before she was about to lunge over my dad or whatever she was going to do I jumped up an got 'big', spread my arms real wide and I started to scream like an animal.  I never knew human instinct to protect ones family could be so powerful.  I screamed and screamed and screamed and roared like a wild beast, the bears all of them turned around and ran away never to come back during our two night, three day stay.  Tips:  don't stay here at all, yes it's beautiful, the river is great....butpersonally I wouldn't recommend for families. camp site #21 was cute but too closed in and no view of the river, too much foliage very easy for bears to sneak up.  The campsite we traded 21 for was #30, which had easy access to the river, somewhat of a view as well.  The ground is slanted though and very far from bathrooms.   I would never come back here again.  I love nature and respect all animals, and yes I do love bears, however I don't think it's a safe place for families read more

An excellent place to have a good all-around camping experience but still have the convenience of modern and clean showers. The staff is friendly and informative. When I was there in the spring, my 75 year old mother and me hiked up the Garvey Spring Trail to the AT/Sunfish-pond. Warning: Do Not Attempt With Your 75 Year Old Mother, or anyone else that old. (my mom is quite exceptional). The Garvey Spring Trail is a short but steep hike from a parking lot at the campground up to the top of the ridge next to the campground (on the NJ side of the river). I think we saw a deer up there, and I found a tick on me near the pond (I probably got the tick by brushing up against undergrowth). read more

Visited the campsite for two days in early Aug 2013. It is located directly on the Delaware River in the Delaware Water Gap. One road in and out which is Old Mine Rd. Very narrow and at times cars must pull to the side to let campers pass. One section from the south is a single lane controlled by what is playfully known as the longest stoplight in the world. A long three minutes. The road at this point is carved into a cliff face over the Delaware and one car can only fit through at a time From the south it's about 4 miles in from I-80 and from the north it is 12 miles from the Millbrook Village Society at the intersection of 602 and Old Mine Rd. http://www.millbrooknj.com/ Upon entering the campground you check in at a window and are given a post permit for your site and a talk about bear safety/rules. It is mandatory. (All toilet facilities are composting but modern and were clean while we were there.) The campground splits into two sections at this point. Turn left and there are about 20 sites stretching for about a mile that about 75% face the river and have access. These are tent only. Very Spacious and completely wooded. To the right is a road that is right on the river. The first three a few hundred yards away a group campsites. But past those it is a mile drive to the rest. At about 3/4 mile there are 5-6 sites on both sides of the road. All in the woods. And a couple directly on the river. At the end of a mile you emerge into a very large and open grass cut field....probably about 15-20 acres. This contains the balance of the campground and a majority of the campsites. Very little shade if none at all. Definitely bring some sort of sun shelter and since it is a big open field there are no trees to tie a large tarp too. I t really needs to be free standing or you will bake. But it is gently rolling hills, every campsite had a table and a fire ring and plenty of space between sites. A few composting toilets were scattered about, as well as showers. There is a large modern playground and a full length outdoor basketball court in this area also. There are sites here along the river, but there are about 5-15 ft of scrub brush between the sites and river and only short well beaten paths from each one for river access. Riverfront but not really river view. It seems it is a very popular spot for kayaks, canoeists, and tubers. Campers drive from the campground up river north to one of several launches on Old Mine Rd, and slow float back down to the campground. The river is generally shallow in this area and there are several islands in the river directly across from the campground where tubers stop or wade around. On a whole a place I would definitely return. read more

Great hike to sunfish pond! Great way to spend the day, have a picnic and go swimming.

My husband and I were very excited to have a weekend getaway at Worthington State Park. And while the park may be nice, the staff certainly wasn't. Unfortunately, the weekend of our trip, the weather called for constant rain and thunderstorms both nights. Since we were camping in a tent, we decided this wasn't a good idea. While it's understandable that the park wouldn't refund the full amount, they provided zero options. I asked if we could apply the reservation fee to another weekend... No. Could we apply the reservation fee to a shelter or cabin.... No. Do we have any options at all I asked? I can cancel your reservation without refund and an additional cancelation fee was the only response I got. At the very least, they should clearly define their cancelation policy (or lack there of) on their reservation web page. This is one very unsatisfied customer. My advice: choose a different park. read more
