Narrowsburg Campground (Lander's River Trips)

We do an annual family and friends group rafting/float trip and have been going to Landers for probably a decade now, we love it there! I always recommend it to people, great campgrounds with all the facilities you would need. They have shuttle busses for rafting and the main landing point is right on the campground. Plus hard to beat the views. Go, you won't be disappointed!

DO NOT CAMP! LANDERS IS A DANGEROUS MESS! I stayed at Landers Narrowsburg campground last weekend and it was an absolute disaster. While I fully expected some partying and loud campers, I could never imagine the disaster that unfolded. I was solo camping and the entire campground was sold out. Every single site was filled the brim with people. This is a party campground. Campers come to shoot off fireworks, blast music, and fight/break things until the sun comes up without repercussions. It was as if every site was trying to out do the other with how obnoxious and loud they could be. The campground had sent a list of "rules" when I reserved my site. They did not enforce a single one. When I called the office to ask for help with my neighboring sites, I got the answering machine. You are completely on your own here, and it feels like lord of the Flies. But, don't take it from me.. listen to what the owner had to say.. The next morning I stopped at the main office and spoke to the manager for a refund. I explained while sleeping is not guaranteed while camping, Landers broke every single rule they said I must obey. The owner happened to be within earshot and he took my paperwork. He agreed to a refund. While the manager was processing this, the owner turns to me and says.. " Just so YOU know... You should have booked during the week if you wanted to sleep. These people have been coming here for 40 years, I am not going to tell them to keep quiet". Yes, that's right, the owner told me it was MY fault for booking when I did, and that loyal customers are the priority. Honestly, I was shocked. Landers runs several campsites around the area and I am sure they are all as lawless and dangerous as this one. If you still decide to make a reservation after reading this, thinking this was a fluke and won't happen to you, I advise you keep the phone number for the police handy, don't worry, Landers gives it to you in your "rules" sheet since the police are the only ones who can help you. DO NOT BELIEVE THE GOOD REVIEWS.

Had a great time! FYI there is a great nearby store for all your essentials needs. (6 Old County Rd, Cochecton) They have amazing service too, and they're open late.

Campground has a great layout and atmosphere for the last few years that I've been here. There are different groups of people that always seem to be friendly. There are different sections of camping spots, some with access to the river down the backside of the campsite and others across the lawn in a more quiet area, as well as the wooded section which itself does appear to be more quiet and dark towards the night hours. I will highly suggest if you visit during/around the weekends of the 4th of July that you bring ear plugs and/or don't expect to sleep without issue. This past year we had fireworks going off into the early hours of the morning and I believe they were eventually told to leave the campground. I would have liked to see a lot more push from the management as these were two groups shooting off fireworks well past midnight and dangerously close to the ground as well as over the water while people were floating by. Strongly advise visiting outside of the 4th of July window for best experience. The rafting trip is great as well, floating down the river for 3-4 hours is a nice way to spend a day and relax with slow moving current that is safe.

If you like spending your vacation at a campground that has no rules this is the place for you. The worst experience camping I’ve ever had. People were riding dirt bikes, music from a large speaker played 24 hours and there was no effort from any staff to get things under control. Fire works went off all night till 5 am. Bathrooms were closed temporarily for no explained reason and they are in terrible condition. I’ve been to Landers many times but this was a new low for the facility. We won’t be back
