Kittatinny Canoes - Barryville Base

I was there between September 8 to 11 and the water smell too bad like rotten egg, was impossible to brush teeth and take a shower, but the cabin is exactly like the pictures.

Unfortunately tubing experience was poorly organized. There was no one to give us safety speech or tie us up before launching. We had no idea when we should return tubes, nobody to help. I don’t recommend, especially that there’s a lot of other places providing same service around. Much to choose from.

I checked into Kittatinny Barryville NY on Thursday June 10th. The multiple campsites in the three hundreds by my site (close to the bathhouse) were all one group confirmed by the gentleman at site 327 to me. On Thursday June 10th 10: 00 PM I had to request site 303 to turn down their music.

Friday June 11th at 4: 00 PM, site 303 started with their loud music. At 12: 45 AM I woke up and ask them to turn down their music; they did not. As I laid awake from 1: 00 AM to 3: 00 AM there was a firecracker that went off in that time. Finally, at 3: 00 AM the music stopped.

On Saturday June 12th 10: 00 AM, their music began again. At about 11: 00 AM the music turned up louder!

At this time, I walked to the front desk/store to complain. I was told I was the 5th person to complain, others said they heard broken glass. Manager stated both broken glass and firecracker are illegal. They advised they had just warned them, and they will go back again. I believe this is why they turned the music up louder at 11am on 6/12/21.

As I was leaving the front desk/store, another person from campsite 420 came in to complain. The music continued to be loud for a few hours. I was on my way back to complain when I ran into the manager and regional manager at the bathhouse buy campsites 200. They indicated they were taking the complaint seriously and Ricco (GM name I was given by security) advise this was their last warning then he was going to ask them to leave. Before he headed to the campsite, he advised he would be on grounds until “late” that evening.

Around 7: 00 PM my party doubted the music would stop at a decent time and looked to request a campsite move. Upon arrival to the store, it was discovered it had just closed. Per the security guard we could not change sites because people were still coming in. (It was Saturday night- how could people still be coming in when you must book Friday through Sunday? Everyone for the weekend would have been there already!)

The security guard also said he spoke with the general manager and that the disruptive campers were to be given one warning. So at this point they were warned multiple times during the day, the manager acknowledged there was illegal activity, and they were given at least two “last warnings”. In addition, Ken the security guard I spoke with Saturday night after the general store closed, told me he had given them four warnings Thursday night and included it in his Thursday night report. When half of the campsites from 420,301,1020 and more complain multiple times about disruptive people-at what point is there action?

I spent the whole weekend upset and not enjoying myself. They got to enjoy themselves! They learned they could do whatever they wanted, and nothing was going to happen. Because Kittatinny valued that disruptive group of multiple sites over me and my one quiet site, they made their money off of them, and I requested my money back. I reached out to them three times and received no response. DO NOT GO HERE! YOU WILL ONLY BE DISSAPPOINTED!

***Update***
It is a month later than the response below, and I still have not heard from anyone. If this is the park management listed above, they already indicated they weren't going to do anything. If this is corporate park management, I would have expect I would have heard something back by now. They obviously do not care! Read all of the other bad reviews. I WILL NOT BE GIVING KITTATINY ANOTHER CHANCE

Had a great time tubing down the Delaware. The wind was very strong and we went backwards a few times. I was looking forward to the zip line but it wasn’t available during our visit. The purple flags at the end were a tad hard to see but we made it out okay! Great family fun. We purchased the cooler to float with us as well!
