Rivers Bend Group Campground

Rivers Bend Group Campground is located on Old Mine Road on the New Jersey side of the park. Its close proximity to the Big Flatbrook Creek and the Delaware River allows campers to enjoy the peacefulness of nature with easy access to outdoor recreational opportunities. Located along the banks of the Delaware River, the campground has a large grassy field area surrounded by sprawling pines and hardwood trees. There are five campsites that include a fire ring, picnic table, bear proof trash containers, and food lockers. Each site can host 5 to 15 people. Facilities are accessible. Potable water is available, and there are vault toilets centrally located at the site. Pets are not permitted, and the use or possession of alcoholic beverages is prohibited. There are two ways to access the campground: by vehicle on the compacted gravel entrance road, or from the Delaware River if you are paddling. A crushed gravel trail leads up to the campsites from the river, and you have two choices to enter the sites, either a meandering gravel path or steps leading to the upper grassy camping area. From the river to the camp sites it is approximately 1/10 of a mile hike. If you drive in, there are numerous hiking trails on the New Jersey side of the park. You can drive to and hike a few miles on the Appalachian Trail located just up the road on Blue Mountain Lakes Rd, hike Mount Minsi on the Pennsylvania side or Mount Tammany on the New Jersey side at the southern end of Delaware Water Gap NRA and look down onto the Delaware River, or walk through Millbrook. Swimming is a popular activity at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Three beaches provide easy access to swim in the river, with picnic and restroom facilities available. Be aware that there are no lifeguards at any of the beaches, so swim at your own risk. Nearby attractions include Millbrook Village, Worthington State Forest, and Stokes State Forest.
