Upper Delaware Eco-Camp

Type: eco_lodge | Status: published | Tier: standard | Fishiness: 3/5

Glamping-style eco-camp on the Upper Delaware with canvas tents, farm meals, and river float access.

Upper Delaware Eco-Camp is a glamping-style riverside camp on the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River. Accommodations are in elevated canvas safari tents with real beds, solar lighting, and a small deck overlooking the river. The camp kitchen serves farm-to-table meals sourced from local farms, with a wood-fired pizza oven that becomes the social center on weekend evenings. River float access is on-site: the camp rents canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards. Fishing is best for smallmouth bass on topwater flies in summer, with brown trout available in the cooler months. The camp operates on a leave-no-trace philosophy, with composting toilets and a minimal footprint.
