About this land

Nearly 8 acres of level, usable land with significant frontage along the East Branch Delaware River, including a private island component-an uncommon feature in this market. The property was previously operated as the Del Valley Campground, giving it a clear path for redevelopment or reuse. Existing improvements include the former campground building and multiple storage structures. The main building could be ideal for conversion to a residence, lodge-style retreat, or continued commercial use (campground, rental cabins, or outdoor recreation base). The East Branch is one of the most sought-after river systems in the Catskills, known for its cold, clean water and nationally recognized trout fishery, drawing consistent demand from anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. This positions the property well for both private enjoyment and income-producing potential. Flat topography and open layout make development straightforward compared to typical Catskill parcels. The setting offers direct access to fishing, kayaking, tubing, and other river-based recreation, with strong seasonal tourism in the surrounding area. Located just minutes to Downsville and within easy reach of Roscoe-the "Trout Town, USA", it's a versatile riverfront property with multiple viable use cases: private estate, recreational compound, or revival of a campground business in a proven location.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

    1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
    2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
    3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
    4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
    5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
    6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
    7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
    8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
    9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
