About Alosa Campsites

The Alosa Campsites are boat-in only sites located on the west (Pennsylvanian) shore of the Delaware River near Bushkill, Pennsylvania. The side of the river with the campsites will be on your right while traveling downstream. This section of the river offers unspoiled views, excellent boating, fishing, and birding opportunities within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the Middle Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River. These reservation-only campsites are available to boaters who are on a multi-day river trip. The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area also offers other boat in only campsites that are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information on the first-come, first-served campsites and river campsite regulations in general, visit: http://www.nps.gov/dewa/planyourvisit/river-camping.htm

What Guests Are Saying

Alosa Campsites offer great locations, particularly AL10 for multiple tents and Site 2 for privacy. The river site is praised as breathtaking, making it a worth-it choice for guaranteed bookings. While there is some sparse poison ivy on the paths, the overall experience is enhanced by easy access and adventure opportunities like kayaking.
