Planning Tips

About Worthington Campground

Worthington State Forest spans roughly 6,500 acres along the Kittatinny ridge and the Delaware River, just north of the Delaware Water Gap in Warren County. The riverside campground has 78 tent and trailer sites along about two miles of Delaware River frontage, each with a picnic table and fire ring, plus showers, modern toilets, and drinking water (sites 1-23 tent-only; 29-82 tent/trailer/RV). The forest also has three group campsites and a single hike-in backpacker site on the Appalachian Trail, with ~26 miles of trails including the AT to Sunfish Pond. No pets in the campground.

Natural Features and SceneryWorthington Campground sits along a scenic stretch of the **Delaware River** at the base of forested ridges forming the New Jersey side of the **Delaware Water Gap**.[3][4][9] The environment is a mix of **riparian riverfront**, hemlock–hardwood forests, and rugged ridges cut by rocky ravines such as **Dunnfield Creek**.[4][9] Above the campground, hikers can reach **Sunfish Pond**, a 44‑acre glacial lake ringed by chestnut oak forest and boulder fields, widely cited as one of the state’s most striking natural features and a designated natural wonder.[4][9] The terrain is known for **steep, rocky trails, expansive viewpoints over the Delaware Valley, and clear mountain streams**, with some of “the most rugged terrain and splendid views of northern New Jersey,” according to trail descriptions.[10] Autumn brings notable **fall foliage** on the ridges and along the river corridor.[9][10]

Best CampsitesCamping reviews consistently praise the **riverside sites** along the Delaware as the most desirable, especially in the main Worthington State Forest Campground loops.[3] Many reviewers on The Dyrt and other sites say sites in the **lower‑numbered loops closest to the river (around the 1–23 area)** offer the best proximity to water and a more “immersed in nature” feel, with some walk‑in tent‑only spots providing extra privacy.[3] Campers mention that **tent‑only sites (1–23)** are quieter and more wooded, while mixed tent/RV loops (higher numbers) can be more open and better for small trailers.[3] Group sites are appreciated by organizations and large groups for space and separation from the family loops, but individual site numbers and rankings vary by personal preference; no consistent blog consensus singles out one exact “best” numbered site beyond “by the river, away from the bathroom.”[3]

Policies & Safety

No Electric HookupsElectric hookups are not available at this campground. RV campers should arrive with a full battery and plan for off-grid power (generator hours/quiet rules permitting).

No Water HookupsSite-level water hookups are not available. RV campers should fill freshwater tanks before arrival; check the No Potable Water note above if applicable for drinking water.

No Dump StationThere is no dump station at this campground. Plan to use a dump station along your route or at a nearby facility before or after your stay.

Cell CoverageThe Dyrt’s connectivity section, based on recent user reports, shows **“some coverage”** for **Verizon, AT&T, and T‑Mobile LTE** in the campground area.[3] Campers describe coverage as **spotty to moderate**—enough for texts and basic data near the river or at higher elevations, but not reliable for heavy work use. Reception generally improves on ridges (Appalachian Trail, Mt. Tammany/Sunfish Pond approaches) and weakens in wooded hollows like Dunnfield Creek, consistent with the terrain.[3][9][10]
