We went camping there a few years ago & it was actually pretty nice. You probably want to wait until June, though, as the nights can still get pretty chilly. |

Try ECCE in Barryville, NY. It is 20 miles from Milford, PA and overlooks the Delaware River and is less than 2 hrs from us. It is a lovely B&B run by two great guys. A friend of mine went this weekend. I'll give more details then. |

I believe the state park commission has cabins for rent directly on the river.
I don't know a contact number for them. Try NJ.Gov |

Drove up to visit our friends at Ecce. Oh my gosh!!! The view from this location is the one I'll have in my mind whenever I need to remember something beautiful.
It is on a perch that overlooks the Delaware river. You look down (I don't know maybe 1/2 mile down) and for miles all around. You are also near all the river rafting places along the Delaware. So you have both beauty and exercise in one neat package. |

Sherri, that place looks fantastic. Is it hard to book last minute, or do they generally have availability? |

Don't know personally. But there are only 5 rooms that I am aware of. However, there are several B&B's in the area. You can go on the Sullivan County website to search. I think there is one called the Bear Claw in Yulan on Washington Lake which is 4 miles from Ecce and you could drive up and take in the view. There is also a fabulous waterfalls in Shohola PA. If you're interested I could set out an itinerary for you since Rich and I bought a house in Yulan 18 mos ago. |
