From Interstate 84 go to Port Jervis, New Jersey and go north on Route 97. Roll down your windows and enjoy the scenic 16 mile drive along the Delaware River.
I just called Jerry’s five minutes ago. Looking for a site for this weekend. The first thing the woman said was “you certainly don’t plan well this is Labor Day weekend. People book a year in advance” and hung up on me. I called back to say that was really rude. She she said oh well. I can’t believe people are this rude and they’re in business. Really sad. Is that what it means to be family owned and operated I don’t know but I made sure to post right away. Today is August 30 at 10:02.
My friends and I definitely had a blast over the weekend. The staff & owners were very friendly and helpful. Even though there was a miscommunication on our reservation, but I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason because the location we were put in was spacious and we loved it. We normally camp at another site for years, but unfortunately this year with covid they decided not to open this year. So decide to try a different one. We were skeptical about coming to Jerry's because of the reviews, but I'm glad that we decided to chance and I tell I can't wait to come back next year.
Bathrooms: they have hot water showers which is A+ in my book. Has far as the cleaness of the bathrooms they do try their best keep it up with ,but I feel if people where clean and had considerations that it's a shared bathroom then it would be easier for the staff to maintain a cleaner bathroom .
I have been going here since 2020 and had never had a bad experience until this past weekend. They have a lot of things they should re-evaluate if they want a future for this place. First, the lady at the front desk is VERY disrespectful. She called my friends and I stupid over a misunderstanding we had about the check-in, made racist comments towards another friend of mine, and threatened to use a whip on us. Second, the bathrooms are actually DISGUSTING. There’s cobwebs all over the showers and in the toilet stalls. I’m not a picky person at all and I could care less about that stuff but their bathrooms are at the point where it wouldn’t even pass an inspection…9/10 that i go to use the toilet, the little trash cans are over flowing with nasty, used toilet paper, the toilet seats are always so gross that I’m disgusted to even hover over to use it. The last time I was there, I went to wash my hands and the water came out brown…I thought it was just that sink so I went to the other one and it did the same thing. Do they actually expect people to brush their teeth or even wash their hands in that water??? Also, there is no area in the women’s bathroom to get changed after a shower, because they removed the curtain that was up, leaving no privacy whatsoever. Third, their “system” for reservations is a NOTEBOOK. I think they should look into investing in at least a tablet or something for better organization. My friend and I went to the lady that works there to reserve for Labor Day weekend and before going, we called to confirm and it turns out she had reserved us for Labor Day 2024….I was able to look past the bathroom situation since some of my friends have trailers but after being disrespected by the elder lady at the front desk, I would rather not return.
Honestly, booking was very easy and Gloria was very pleasant. The views make it worth the trip however there was a very large group of people with complete and total disregard for other campers. Blasting music and using some kind of microphone/sound effects from morning til the next morning. All night long. The owners claim to have rules and regulations but nothing was done to stop the rude &$$holes who ruined it for so many people. Not to mention fireworks going off all day and night. this could be such a nice place but the owners need to follow through the rules put in place. We had to buy firewood (not a huge deal) because they claim you can’t bring your own yet they allow fireworks???? Will find a better place in the future.
