Camping near Port Jervis, New York
Port Jervis sits at the tri-state corner where New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania meet along the Delaware River. The Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, a unit of the National Park System, runs along the New York-Pennsylvania border and ends at Sparrowbush just upstream of town, while the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area lies to the south. That puts RV travelers within short drives of two federal river corridors, several state parks and forests, and a mix of private campgrounds.
Most visitors base out of a private RV park close to town and use it as a hub for river trips, hiking, and day drives. Tri-State RV Park and River Beach Campsites on the Delaware-Kittatinny Canoes sit closest to the river and the outfitters. KOA Holiday Deerpark New York City and Sun Retreats Pleasant Acres Farm add full-hookup options with family amenities, while Oakland Valley Campground pulls in campers heading toward the Neversink and inland trails.
High Point State Park across the river in New Jersey adds tent camping at elevation, with the High Point Monument standing 1,803 feet above sea level as the highest point in the state.
Things to do around Port Jervis
Paddling drives the local calendar. Public and private access points along the Delaware support canoeing, kayaking, rafting, tubing, and fishing, and watercraft rent from many commercial outfitters. Jet skis are prohibited within the Upper Delaware corridor but are permitted downstream, launching from West End Beach in Port Jervis.
On land, families head to High Point State Park in New Jersey for the monument and Lake Marcia. Hikers can climb the 220-foot monument at the highest point in the state, walk sections of the Appalachian Trail, or swim at the lifeguarded beach on Lake Marcia in summer. The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area adds waterfalls, swimming beaches, and quiet forest roads for day trips.
Historic stops include the village of Milford, the Minisink battlefield, and the scenic drive along NY Route 97 north through Sparrowbush and Barryville.

The prime camping season around Port Jervis runs from late spring through early fall, roughly May through October, with peak conditions in summer. Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of the camping season, coinciding with the ramp-up of kayak and canoe trips on the Delaware. Weekends in July and August book heavily at riverfront sites and outfitter-run campgrounds.
Spring camping brings blooming wildflowers but potentially muddy conditions, and river levels can run high after snowmelt or storms, which affects paddling difficulty. Fall brings strong foliage viewing, though nights can get chilly, and at High Point State Park all 50 campsites tend to book every weekend in the fall.
Winter camping is limited to hardy visitors, with many campgrounds closed or offering reduced services during the coldest months. The Sawmill Lake tent campground at High Point closes October 31 and reopens April 1, and most other public campgrounds in the region follow a similar seasonal pattern.

How to book campgrounds near Port Jervis
Most developed campgrounds in the area require reservations, particularly during summer weekends when river recreation peaks. Private parks such as Tri-State RV Park, KOA Holiday Deerpark New York City, and Sun Retreats Pleasant Acres Farm take bookings directly through their own websites or brand portals, and holiday weekends often fill weeks or months ahead.
Public sites use separate systems. Campsites at High Point State Park in New Jersey are reserved through camping.nj.gov. The Sawmill Lake tent campground is open April 1 through October 31, and same-day reservations for one night can be made online until 2:00 pm, with the park office handling same-day bookings after that.
Riverfront outfitter campgrounds such as River Beach Campsites on the Delaware-Kittatinny Canoes bundle paddling trips with sites, so book the trip and the site together through the operator.
What to expect on the ground
The Port Jervis corridor mixes small-town main streets with quick access to river country. Roads along NY 97 and US 6 are winding but paved, and most private RV parks in the area accept larger rigs with full hookups. Sawmill Lake at High Point State Park is tent-only with about 50 sites arranged around the lake, and flush toilets are within walking distance, but there are no showers or running water at the campground bathrooms.
This is bear country. Food must be stored properly because bears are present in the area. Expect ticks in tall grass, black flies in early summer, and mosquitoes near the river at dusk.
Summer daytime highs typically reach the low to mid-80s, and nights can drop to the mid-50s, so pack layers even in July. Cell coverage is patchy inside the river valley.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Port Jervis, NY
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Port Jervis, NY?
RV rental in Port Jervis is surprisingly affordable, especially compared to nearby New York City rentals. On RVezy, you'll typically find travel trailers from around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes from $150 to $250 per night, and larger Class A rigs from $200 to $350 per night. Pricing dips in spring and fall, making April through early June and September through October the sweet spot for a cheap RV rental Port Jervis travelers love. Pro tip: book mid-week stays at Delaware River campgrounds to save 15 to 25 percent versus weekends, and message hosts about multi-night discounts before you book.
iloveny.com/places-to-stay/camping/What license do I need to rent an RV in Port Jervis?
Good news: a standard driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Port Jervis, NY. New York State does not require a special license or Commercial Driver's License (CDL) for personal-use RVs under 26,000 pounds, which covers nearly every rig on RVezy. You will need to be 25 or older and complete a quick ID verification right inside the RVezy platform. Visiting from overseas? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home auto club before you fly in. Most first-time renters in the Tri-State area are amazed how simple the paperwork is once they tap Book.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in Port Jervis booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built into your reservation. At checkout you can choose from multiple protection plan tiers, so you can pick the level of coverage that fits your trip. Protection plans cover most accidental damage to the RV, letting you focus on enjoying the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway instead of worrying about a stray branch. Pro tip: review the protection plan options carefully before confirming so you book with total confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Port Jervis plans change?
You can book your Port Jervis RV trip with confidence because RVezy, not individual hosts, sets the cancellation policy for every reservation. There is a money-back grace period right after booking, plus additional flexibility based on how far ahead of your trip you cancel. Because the Delaware River Valley can see sudden summer storms or winter snow, it is reassuring to know RVezy support is in your corner if plans shift. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best rigs, then contact RVezy support if your plans change and they will walk you through your options.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Port Jervis?
Yes, your pup is very welcome on the trip. Plenty of hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental Port Jervis travelers love, and you can find them in seconds by flipping on the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy. Once you're on the road, the surrounding area is a dog paradise: leashed dogs are welcome on most trails in Harriman State Park, along the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River towpaths, and at Elks Brox Memorial Park overlooking the Delaware Water Gap. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any breed or size notes, then pack a towel for muddy river paws.
parks.ny.gov/parks/harrimanCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near Port Jervis?
Yes, RV delivery in Port Jervis is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you are flying into Newark or coming up from New York City. Many RVezy hosts will drop the rig at your campsite at Kittatinny Campgrounds, Otisville KOA Holiday, or your driveway in nearby Matamoras, PA, level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Just use the Delivery filter when you search. Pro tip: delivery is gold for first-time renters because you skip city traffic on Route 17 and the I-84 bridge entirely.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038654013-How-RV-delivery-worksHow far can I drive on my Port Jervis RV trip?
You've got incredible range from Port Jervis because you're sitting at the meeting point of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Most RVezy hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and many offer an RV rental with unlimited mileage as an add-on or for longer bookings. From here you can reach the Catskills in about 60 miles, Lake George in around 200 miles, Niagara Falls in roughly 380 miles, and Acadia National Park in about 460 miles. Pro tip: if you're planning a big loop through New England, ask your host upfront about an unlimited mileage upgrade, it usually pays for itself by day three.
dot.ny.gov/indexWhere are the best campgrounds near Port Jervis, NY?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping Port Jervis offers right out the gate. American Family Campground in Newburgh sits about 45 minutes east with full hookups and a pool. Kittatinny Campgrounds in Barryville, just up the Delaware River, is the local favorite for paddlers and tubers. Otisville KOA Holiday, 15 minutes north, is a great pick for families with its swimming pool and jump pad. Lake Rudd Family Campground is another quiet, wooded option nearby. Pro tip: the best campgrounds near Port Jervis on Delaware River frontage book up fast for summer weekends, so reserve at least 8 to 12 weeks ahead.
newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/When is the best time to visit Port Jervis in an RV?
Late May through mid-October is the sweet spot for an RV rental in Port Jervis NY, but each season has its own magic. Summer brings warm 75 to 85 degree days perfect for tubing the Delaware River and swimming at Lake Welch in Harriman State Park. Late September into mid-October delivers some of the best foliage in the Northeast as the Shawangunk and Catskill ridges light up red and gold. Spring shoulder season (April to May) means mild 55 to 70 degree afternoons and fewer crowds. Pro tip: book your foliage trip by early August, leaf-peeping weekends sell out faster than any other time of year.
weather.gov/okx/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay?
You'll do great, even if it's your first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup, covering the water system, propane, slides, generator, and dump procedures, and they leave you their phone number for the whole trip. The roads around Port Jervis are also genuinely beginner-friendly: Route 97 along the Delaware is wide and scenic, and most local campgrounds have pull-through sites so you can skip backing in. If anything feels confusing, RVezy customer support is available 24/7. Pro tip: ask for a travel trailer or Class C under 28 feet for your first trip, they handle a lot like a big pickup.
dmv.ny.gov/more-info/driving-tipsWhat happens if I break down on my Port Jervis RV trip?
Take a breath, you are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance with a protection plan, so a flat tire on Route 6, a dead battery near Bear Mountain, or a tow off I-84 is just one phone call away. Your host is also available throughout the trip for quick questions, and RVezy customer support is on standby around the clock. The good news is Port Jervis sits right at a major highway junction with service stations in town and in Matamoras, PA across the bridge, so help is usually close. Pro tip: snap a photo of your roadside assistance number at pickup so it is saved on your phone.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008794-Roadside-assistance-coverageWhat are the best RV road trips from Port Jervis?
An RV road trip from Port Jervis is hard to beat because three states are within minutes. Head north on Route 97 along the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway to Narrowsburg and Callicoon (about 40 miles of pure river views). Drive 90 minutes northwest into the Catskills for Phoenicia and Woodstock. The Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania are 30 miles south, Niagara Falls is a roughly 6.5-hour cruise west, and Acadia National Park in Maine is a doable 8-hour push northeast. Heading to Canada is allowed on many RVezy rentals with host approval, but Mexico travel isn't permitted because insurance won't cover it. Pro tip: confirm cross-border travel in writing through the RVezy chat before you book.
nps.gov/upde/index.htmWhat should I budget for fuel on a Port Jervis RV trip?
Fuel is usually the second-biggest line on your trip budget, so let's make it predictable. Travel trailers towed by a pickup average 10 to 14 miles per gallon (MPG), Class C motorhomes get 8 to 12 MPG, and big Class A rigs run 6 to 10 MPG. Gas in the Port Jervis area typically runs a bit cheaper than New York City prices, and crossing the bridge into Matamoras, PA often saves another 20 to 40 cents per gallon thanks to lower Pennsylvania fuel taxes. Pro tip: fill up in PA before heading north on Route 97, and use the GasBuddy app to catch the best price between here and the Catskills.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far ahead should I book a campground near Port Jervis?
For the best sites, plan ahead, especially for summer and fall foliage weekends. New York State Parks like Harriman and Bear Mountain take reservations up to 9 months in advance through ReserveAmerica, and they fill quickly for July and October. Private parks like Kittatinny Campgrounds and Otisville KOA Holiday open bookings a year out and the riverfront sites go first. Midweek nights are far easier to grab last minute. Pro tip: if you're set on a holiday weekend like Memorial Day or Labor Day, book your campsite the same day you book your RV, then use the RVezy Delivery filter so the host drops the rig right at your site.
parks.ny.gov/camping/What are the driving conditions like around Port Jervis?
Driving around Port Jervis is genuinely manageable in an RV. The town sits at the junction of I-84, Route 6, and Route 97, all of which handle big rigs comfortably. Route 97's Hawk's Nest section north of town is famously scenic with tight curves, drive it slowly and you'll love it. Watch for the low clearance under the Erie Railroad bridge in downtown Port Jervis (about 11 feet 6 inches), and skip narrow side streets along the Delaware. Winter brings snow and occasional ice from November through March, so check NY 511 before heading into the Catskills. Pro tip: program your RV's height into your GPS to auto-avoid low bridges.
511ny.org/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Port Jervis?
Most campgrounds near Port Jervis are well-equipped for a comfortable trip. Private parks like Kittatinny Campgrounds, American Family Campground, and Otisville KOA Holiday typically offer full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, and sewer), Wi-Fi, dump stations, potable water fill, hot showers, and laundry. New York State Parks like Harriman usually have electric and water but no sewer at the site, so you'll dump at the central station on your way out. Free dump stations are available at several private parks for a small fee if you're staying elsewhere. Pro tip: top off fresh water and dump tanks before heading deep into the Catskills, where boondocking spots have no services.
parks.ny.gov/parks/harriman/details.aspxWhat is included inside a typical motorhome rental in Port Jervis?
You will be impressed by how move-in ready a motorhome rental in Port Jervis can be. Most rigs come with a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), a private bathroom with shower and toilet, sleeping for 4 to 8 people, climate control with furnace and air conditioning, a TV, and seatbelted seating for travel. Many include a generator for off-grid power, awnings for shaded outdoor lounging, and Wi-Fi hotspots or cell boosters, ideal given spotty coverage in the Catskills. Linens, kitchenware, and outdoor chairs are common add-ons. Pro tip: check the listing amenity list and message your host to confirm whether sheets, towels, and a starter propane tank are included.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Port%20Jervis%2C%20New%20YorkWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
You have a lot of flexibility when you rent an RV in Port Jervis. Hosts commonly offer popular add-ons like linen and kitchen kits, bike racks, kayaks (perfect for the Delaware River), portable grills, generators, and pet packages, usually $10 to $50 each per trip. Mileage policies vary by host: most include 100 to 150 free miles per night with extra miles around $0.30 to $0.50 each, and unlimited-mileage upgrades are often available. Pickup is typically at the host's home, but delivery to Otisville, Matamoras, or local campgrounds is a popular option. Pro tip: bundle add-ons in one message to your host before booking, many will discount the package.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Port%20Jervis%2C%20New%20YorkHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure, you pay through the RVezy platform with a credit or debit card, never directly to the host. You will see the full breakdown upfront: nightly rate, RVezy service fee, taxes, your chosen protection plan, and any add-ons, so there are no surprises. A refundable security deposit is placed as a hold on your card before the trip and released after the RV is returned in good condition. Pro tip: take a quick video walk-around of the RV at pickup and drop-off (inside, outside, generator hours, mileage), it is the easiest way to protect your deposit on any RV rental New York travelers book.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent a campervan in Port Jervis for winter trips?
Yes, winter RV adventures are absolutely on the table. While many hosts pause bookings from late December through February, a solid number keep campervan rental Port Jervis options and four-season Class B and Class C rigs available year-round. Look for listings that mention heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and electric heat or a furnace, essential when overnight lows in Port Jervis can dip into the teens. Plug into shore power at parks like Otisville KOA Holiday (open year-round) and you'll stay toasty. Pro tip: pair a winter rental with a ski trip to Mountain Creek (40 minutes south) or Belleayre in the Catskills, you'll have the slopes and a warm bunk waiting.
