Are you looking to camp in the car camping area along the river or the tent camping area along the Appalachian Trail?

This year, the park police have done a good job of keeping the crowds down to manageable levels. I guess this was a response to the drownings that occurred last summer at the park. The park is quieter now. On the weekends, it no longer looks like a riot at one of those ethnic parades in New York City.

The downside is if you want to park, you have to be there early. If you want to claim a space at the car camping area, I suggest you get there EARLY EARLY.

As for the fishing, I've grown disenchanted with the Delaware River after the Smallmouth population crashed. Other people still do well there, but I don't. In the evenings, you can still catch Channel Cats, Walleye, and there are swarms of panfish like Rock Bass.

I actually don't know if they still have a designated swimming area there. Regardless, people wade into the river and swim along its entire length, especially where the river forms pools.
