It is expensive, service at the restaurant was slow, and there was a party boat going late into the night which made it less quiet than expected. We stayed out when they first opened and loved it so much but then didn't have any issues with boats, and also the price was half the cost then which makes much more sense for the experience. Still a fun and memorable stay, just not quite as relaxing as it could be.

To do this just 24 hours before a scheduled trip--especially for a birthday celebration--is incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful. My entire birthday plan has been ruined due to their lack of communication and poor management. I strongly advise everyone to be cautious when booking here. They clearly do not value their customers' time or special occasions. I am still waiting for a proper explanation and compensation for this mess

I was hoping to stay there again but it looks like they don't rent the shipping containers anymore?) This place completely lived up to my expectations. My container #9 was immaculate, with a small fridge, record player, microwave, pod-coffee maker, sink, and full bathroom with standup shower. The shower was a little small, be careful of accidentally hitting the water handle because you might make the water too hot, but it was amazing how good the shower was otherwise! Nice, hot water, good pressure. Also, the AC/Heat worked great. The view was spectacular. I let Dennis (his name was on a sign to call if problems) know that the curtain rod had come down because the end of it was missing, but I was able to put it back up. When I called, he answered right away, and he was very appreciative of the call. It's next to the Skyline drive in theater, so you can watch the movies that are playing, and also it made it easy for them to allow for free parking. Free parking in NY!! It felt safe, and I experienced no issues leaving my car overnight for 2 days. There's a door with code that you have to punch in to get into the area with all the pods/containers. And then a separate code to get into your specific container (not sure about the pods). I could not get over the views. I was staying in a hostel in Manhattan the night before for the same price which was TINY and overlooked an alley with a bunch of condensers. This glamping was so much better, and I couldn't stop looking at the views! Each container has a little sitting area, and mine was the first of them, so there were people sitting outside my container on my second night, which I didn't mind since I was already in bed but they were right under my window, so I could hear them until they left. Maybe a little fence separating the first container's sitting area from the general area would be helpful. I would definitely come back to this place. Especially want to come back with my partner, as the views are super romantic :) Also, it was in Greenpoint, which is fantastically located, tons of great restaurants (go to Oxomoco if you can, amazing food!!!).

The staff was friendly and welcoming. The campsites are well-spaced, and each spot comes with a picnic table. The bathrooms were well-maintained and clean, and the water temperature was warm enough for a comfortable shower. The camp also has a small store with all the essentials, and there's a Walmart and McDonald's nearby for anything you may need beyond that. They keep the area tidy, with clean trash bins and bags provided, and the trash is picked up in the morning. The only downside was the lack of night patrol. There were several loud parties making it difficult to sleep, though I understand this is more of an issue with guests not being considerate. Additionally, the site next to ours had a notably loud snorer, which made things a bit more challenging. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would recommend Kittatinny K-Camp.

Pocono/Delaware scenery is definitely 5 stars but it is not KC achievement. We have used KC for the last 20 years every year, and firsthand witnessed how it is going downhill. On the last trip, none of the canoes had working foot rests, which is a must have if you want to row correctly and not break your back. And that is where, Daniel and Chris came to the rescue - they dove into 2 trailers and found us 4 working boats. It is a good thing that it was a mid-week and they were able to provide such personal touch. Just sad when you see a company going downhill like that.

Had a great day is past weekend on the water! It was my first time white water rafting instead of…read moreour usual white water tubing. Whitewater Challengers is very organized and they are constantly trying to maintain that organization, even on the water. From parking your vehicle; all the staff members directing you throughout the property, checking in with different color papers and boarding cards, and even on the bus ride back... it was very well organized. All guides are clearly knowledgable about the river and everyone had a great attitude; everyone really appreciated that. It's obvious the guides genuinely care about making this a great experience for their guests. Our group engaged with Jen and Rober. They had great personalities and clearly love what they do. If you are concerned about riding the river with children or with older family members then have no fear! The rapids were fun but I wish they were a little more rough/busy. Certainly not challenging for families with children; there was a younger Boy Scout group on our trip and they all handled it with ease. Go ahead and book that weekend river trip with the fam! My only complaints were the "hurry up and wait" of the whole journey. I understand we are traveling with a big group and we are trying to stay together but we stopped a total of 5-6 times including lunch. It felt like we only got about 15-20 mins of solid rafting then we had to wait 15-20mins for the rest of the group to catch up. Kind of annoying. And the claim that these are class 2-3 rapids may be factually true but I would consider these class 1 maybe class 2 on a great day. With the stopping and waiting and calm water for almost half the trip, I can see why some people may be disappointed. There were about 15-20 rafts in our group. Overall, this was a solid weekend activity and it deserves 5 stars. With all the organization and very friendly river guides it was a great day. The staff can clearly handle any group and they know the river like the back of their hand. Please take all the reviews into consideration and consider shortening the amount of stops on the river to corral the group; there's got to be another way that is also safe. Thanks, hope to return again soon!

What a disaster. I have gone twice with Girl Scouts and again with boy scouts. My first adventure…read morewith the girl scouts was generally enjoyable. Nothing notable to report but not overwhelmingly great either. The last time I went with the Boy Scouts was one of the worst weekends of my life. There was some river guide who named himself "zombie". He has the worst chip on this shoulder ever. First, he got nearly naked on the bus clearly wanting to show off all his tattoos. Inappropriate in front of a bunch of kids. If he was discreet then fine. He was showboating and it was gross. Then while on the river, I splashed with a paddle. It is indeed against the rules and I was wrong for that. However I knew I messed up the second I did it. A reminder would have been sufficient. Oh no. Zombie came over immediately and berated me loudly in front of everyone (including the kids). Yikes. I said "understood, I'm sorry". He then continued saying he was "gonna hike me out of 'his' trip" if he saw it again. What? He was going to evict me from the boat in the middle of nowhere and walk me home? Alone? What the hell is wrong with this guy? I don't care how capable or good of a river guide he is. If he's going to talk to customers who paid for the trip like garbage, then he doesn't belong there (especially around kids). Major jerk. Then we camped there overnight. Some camp site decided to have a rager party. Like thumping music turned up to full volume that could be heard for miles. No one came to quiet them down. At midnight I had to walk over myself and ask if they could please let us sleep. They said no and it kept going. I called the campsite phone # and got a voicemail. No one was there to help. Needless to say we didn't sleep at all. Just a generally unpleasant experience. You need to get rid of this zombie person. You can't call yourself "zombie" then demand to be taken seriously. Give me a break. You need someone who can patrol the campsite and keep order and the campers safe. Don't go here and waste your money.

Obviously there was some hesitation with allowing our daughter to attend any camp this year, but the Breene family that runs the camp was amazing not only from a logistical point of view but also in providing a safe "normal" environment for kids to enjoy. We have joked (but not really joking) that other entities should take notes on not only how to do proper communication but then effectively implementing and providing an environment in which all participants could feel safe. If the Breene family can provide this type of atmosphere under the circumstances they faced this Summer, imagine the experience they can provide when, hopefully, things are a bit more normal next Summer! Please consider Camp Riverbend for your child's next Summer camp experience.
