We take the kids to Driftstone camping every year. Nice place and all the sites have electric hook ups. They also have canoe and kayack rentals right on site as well as a pool if you are bringing kids. Not sure about the fishing in that area though.

If you are more into tent camping and roughing it a bit, Worthington State Forrest is a great place and just a few miles north of the Gap on the NJ side right on the Delaware. No hook ups there and much more secluded which is more to my my liking but not the wifes You need to be very careful there since there are lots of bear in the area... Coolers have to be in the car and hidden at all times.

Scrubs - The wife and I used to tent camp too. Then one cold fall evening, she had enough and said if I wanted her to continue to camp we'd need to get a camper so we got a pop up... We've taken it to Worthington a few times but like I said before, there are no hook up or dump stations. There is however pleanty of water spigots around to fill your fresh water tank.

Worthington is definately worth a look, more my style of camping..

I sure do miss the Old Coppermine Campground! There'll never be another like it! That aside you could give these folks a call to see if they have any open sites. They're right on the Flatbrook, minutes from the Delaware, but about 35-45 minutes further north from the water gap.
