Valley View Group Campground comprises five primitive group campsites nestled along the Delaware River located within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Its close proximity to the Delaware River allows campers to enjoy the peacefulness of nature with easy access to outdoor recreational opportunities. Each of the five 5 campsites include a fire ring, picnic tables, bear proof trash containers, bear proof storage lockers, and vault toilets. Each site can host a minimum group size of five and up to 25 people.
Campers can access Valley View Campground in two ways: by vehicle down a short gravel roadway from Route 209 or by paddling in by boat on the Delaware River. Once you reach the shore line for Valley View Campground there is short path that will lead you from the riverbank up to the campsite area. Along with the seclusion of your campsite there is a common area centrally located with benches and a flag pole. This area is great to mingle or conduct group activities.
Pets are not permitted at Valley View Campground. The use or possession of alcoholic beverages is prohibited. Quiet hours begin at 10:00 a.m. and end at 6:00 p.m.
An approximately 2/10 of a mile (.3 km) stroll up the gravel driveway from the campsites you will find the McDade Recreation Trail. The McDade Trail is a hiking and biking trail. The McDade Recreational Trail (MRT) is a packed gravel path that parallels the Delaware River on the Pennsylvania side of the park for 32 miles (51 km).
A Lifejacket Can't Save Anyone If All People Onboard Don't Wear One
Children aged 12 and under MUST wear Coast Guard-approved lifejackets at all times when on the river. Jackets must fit appropriately, and be fully fastened to be effective. Wearing a life jacket is not just common sense, it is THE LAW. Lifejackets aren't just for kids. Any person paddling or boating MUST have their own US Coast Guard approved lifejacket or PFD onboard and readily accessible in case of emergency. All boaters must wear lifejackets on boats less than 16 feet (5 m) in length and on canoes and on kayaks, from November 1 through April 30, to protect boaters from cold water shock if they fall into the water. Always wear your lifejacket on and in the water.
