Driftstone Campground

Me and my buddies (roughly at our late 20s) we came here for a weekend. We paid roughly around 30 bucks per person for two nights but we only stayed for one night.. For us, it was more like a camping site for families or an RV park. i’ve been to many camping site and i can say this is not how i expected. i did called ahead of time to ask if we can hike around and stuff, the assistant told me there is a trailer we can check it out. Once we arrived she told us we have to leave the camping site and hiked outside. knowing us were in the middle of no where, we are not bout to walk around and might end up in someone property. Places like camping site usually have map of where or where not to go for hiking. i was little disappointed and it was our last trip together then my buddy is off to Italy with his love. All i can say is that there is definitely better campgrounds out there. if you are looking for a quiet/​relaxing time with your families and a place for your RV to be parked. This is the place for it. but if you want to be adventurous… look for something else. Sorry for the not so good review.

I’ve been camping here for over 20 years and one of the things I love most is the enforcement of the rules. It truly is a family campground where you are comfortable and safe. Kudos to the owners.

This place is ok. It is way overpriced compared to other campgrounds of its caliber (ie knoebels). It was $ 70/​night. I could get a hotel for that. But at least, for that you would figure it would be inclusive and have nice facilities. You would be wrong. Everything is extra, and very limited. The showers are awful (all four of them) very little water, and cold water at that. The campgrounds are over run by skunks who think they are house cats that want to cuddle up (no thanks). We had 4 at our site last night ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!! The staff is nice, the pool is ok, the sites are a good size (some are private, but beware, that’s extra!). I gave this place 3 stars because the kids had fun at the dance, at softball, and in the river. Just don’t expect facilities as nice as you get for $ 20/​night at promised land near by.

I went camping here for 3 years in a row. I am a tent camper. We love the place. They have planned activities for kids, and we love the activity director. We also love the swimming pool and the river. The bathrooms are very clean, and the grounds are immaculate. Many of the people on the trailers come up year after year, which is nice because you get to know the other campers. The family who runs it is very nice and cares about your safety in the river. It is not far from NYC and is right off of route 80, making it extremely convenient to get to. I only wish that it had cabins to rent.

This is the cleanest, prettiest, most family friendly campground I’ve ever visited. We go every year, my entire family loves Drifstone. It’s a summer trip we look for forward to each year. We swim, fish, kayak, and enjoy all of the activities the campground has to offer. We love it!!!

My family and I just got home today from a two night stay at Driftstone On the Delaware campground. My family is my husband, 7 year old son and myself. We had called and made reservations on Monday, I had requested a riverfront campsite and was told that I needed to book for a least a week to guarantee a riverfront site.
After a quick visit to the NJ Pequest Trout Hatchery, that I found out about from Driftstone’s website, we drove about 25 minutes to the campground and at the front gate we were greeted with the news that we had a riverfront site.
Everyone at this campground was friendly and the entire place was immaculate.
We were able to buy ice, firewood, food, ice cream, toys and swimming tubes in the charming store.
We played games in game room, went swimming in the pool, played on the large playground and best of all played in the Delaware River for hours.
The location of the camp is by an island so there is a large channel that we all went down in tubes.
This campground has some extra features that really made it stand out such as a compressor for filling water toys and a gate for security.
We also went on the 4 mile canoe trip from Portland back to the campground. This was our son’s first long river paddle so we didn’t want to go far and the
four miles were perfect, we caught a few small mouth bass.
The bathrooms were clean and close by the campsites.
Saturday night we went on a hayride for $.25 that brought us all around the campground.
If you are looking for a family friendly campground with lots to do and great swimming and playing in the Delaware I highly recommend Driftstone.

Woot! I love this place! I’ve been going here since I was just a baby. I even helped build the little dam & water «slide» in between the campsites and the little island nearby. It’s perfect for tubing and the island is a fun place for an easy hike. This campsite has a deep pool and a kiddie pool, a baseball field, volley ball field, and playground. The bathrooms are kept pretty clean and the showers always have warm water and are free! The barn also has fun nighttime dances and activites during the day for kids such as arts and crafts. I love that it’s right on the river. I usually go swim in the river and then jump into the pool. My favorite was the kayak rental. They take you upstream and let you kayak on your own. It’s great place for the whole family.

I’ve been going here at least once a year for the last few years. The campground is nicely located on the Delaware River, which is what attracted me to the place.
However, I had a bad experience this year and won’t return. I booked a trip for 4 adults (2 couples). The campground has a policy for one family per site (Ie: Mother, Father, and Children). Since we technically had 2 families, we were forced to rent two campsites. However, no one bothered to alert this to us until we showed up, checked in, and had our tents already set up. We arrived and paid for one site with 4 adults. During the nightly ranger checks, the ranger said we had to go back to the office to pay for another campsite. This cost approximately $ 50 extra. Furthermore, they wanted us to move the other couple and their tents to the other site, which was on the other side of the campground (they didn’t have any available nearby sites).
This «policy» seemed like a convenient way of charging us more money. If we brought a boy scout troop or a larger group, I would completely understand. However, we were looking to spend some quality time with another couple and this seemed outrageous to rent two sites for only 4 people. I could have stayed in a hotel and paid only a little more.
Here’s another example of nickle and diming their clients. The campground also has a strict «guest» policy that requires guests to pay $ 5 for every hour they spend there. Are you serious???
Since campgrounds are everywhere and typically cheap, I see no reason to return here after this experience.
