RV Rentals for Delaware Water Gap

Vacationers travelling by RV will find picturesque campgrounds, endless photo opportunities and outdoor adventures galore at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Along the border between New Jersey and Pennsylvania runs the Middle Delaware River, one of the most scenic waterways in the Eastern United States. What makes this area truly spectacular is the Gap itself, a mile-wide break formed by the river through the Appalachian Mountains.

Travelers to Delaware Water Gap NRA will be amazed at the variety of birds, plants and wildlife. Get ready to photograph black bears, bald eagles and even peregrine falcons! Outdoor sports aficionados will love the surrounding terrain, too. Mountain trails, sheer bluffs and perfect boating conditions make this a haven for every active vacationer.

RV CAMPING ON A BUDGET

Don’t wait to explore the Gap; book an RV rental with El Monte RV.  It’s a money-saving alternative to rental cars and hotel rooms, and the meals you cook in your motorhome kitchen will help keep your vacation budget on track.

To make things even better for travelers watching their pennies, the Delaware Water Gap NRA offers an Annual Park Pass which will cover the fees charged by Expanded Amenities within the Park, such as Milford Beach.
