The drive from New Haven to the Big Apple is a short one at only 78.7 miles. This trek brings RV campers to one of the city's most well-known attractions: the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Brooklyn Bridge reaches across the picturesque East River, connecting the two popular metropolitan cities of Manhattan and Brooklyn. This iconic landmark is easily recognized worldwide and has been prominently displayed in many different movies, films, and TV shows. Beyond its attractive appeal, the Brooklyn Bridge is also a structure of great historical significance to New York City. The bridge can be accessed from two different directions: the Manhattan or the Brooklyn side. The Manhattan entrance is easy to locate as it rests directly across the street from the popular City Hall Park.

Since there is no easy parking near the bridge itself, it is recommended that RV campers park their rigs at a public lot and take a taxi, subway, or bus to one of the bridge access points. RV campers may drive a vehicle across the bridge or join the many tourists and locals alike making use of the pedway.

Though the Brooklyn Bridge is open to the public 24 hours a day, this landmark is particularly beautiful during sunset, providing incredible views of both Brooklyn and Manhattan as well as the Statue of Liberty.

The Brooklyn Bridge is 1.3 miles in total length and takes approximately 25 minutes to cross on foot.

After an invigorating day exploring one of NYC"s most iconic landmarks, an RV stay might just be in order. Park your RV to do some camping at Liberty Harbor RV Park or Nickerson Beach Campground.

The Liberty Bell is located 94.2 miles from the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. Situated in the heart of Philadelphia, this popular attraction was first named the State House Bell but is now renowned by the handle of the Liberty Bell.

During its heyday, the Liberty Bell chimed out daily from its position in the tower of the Pennsylvania State House building. In keeping with the Liberty Bell's new name, the statehouse is now referred to as Independence Hall.

The Liberty Bell was commissioned by Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly Isaac Norris. The bell was purchased in 1751 from an English company known as Whitechapel Foundry. During its very first ringing, the bell experienced a crack. Two local professionals worked on the bell by melting down its contents to recast them into a brand new bell. The bell's purpose was to sound to bring local lawmakers to their appointments and the residents of Philadelphia to the statehouse for the reading of community events and other news.

It was in the 1830s that the Liberty Bell became identified as a symbol of freedom. It is believed that the bell's current crack occurred in the mid 19th century after over 90 years of constant use. Repairs were attempted several times with the bell's current state the actual result of the final repair job.

The Liberty Bell weighed 2,080 pounds at the time of its transport from London, England to Philadelphia. The bell bears an engraving of the Bible verse, "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof." It is believed this Scripture was selected by Mr. Norris to pay homage to the jubilee of William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges which provided religious liberties and democracy to the people within the state of Pennsylvania.

If an overnight stay in Philadelphia seems like the perfect ending to the perfect day, why not enjoy some RV camping at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA or Benjamin Rush State Park?

One hundred and eight miles from the Liberty Bell, RV campers will be thrilled to discover the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine. Located in the heart of Baltimore, this popular attraction is of great historical significance to the region.

At the time of the War of 1812, it was Fort McHenry that provided protection for the Baltimore Harbor against British forces intent on capturing the city. The harbor provides water access to land from three of its angles. To prevent the British troops from gaining an easy foothold, the Fort, a structure comprised of brick, was built outside the city itself to allow for strong fortification of Baltimore's assets.

The heroic efforts of the 1,000 men stationed at Fort McHenry served as the inspiration for the song that has since become the United States' national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." The lyrics to this now popular song were penned by Francis Scott Key. The poem's original name was "Defense of Fort McHenry."

In 1933, Fort McHenry earned the distinction of being the only facility that has been declared a National Monument and a Historic Shrine.

Among the best places to enjoy an RV stay in Baltimore are Hollofield Campground and Washington DC/Capitol KOA Holiday.

From the picturesque grounds, families can spy the glorious view of the unique skyline found in the state's metropolitan center: Richmond.

Belle Isle was originally a settling ground for a Native American tribe. The island measures 540 acres in total and is located along the James River. At one time, the island was home to a nail factory. The ruins can be discovered on the eastern portion of the premises.

One of Belle Isle's most well-renowned roles was its use during the Civil War, at which time it was in use as a prison camp for the Confederates. The facility built there was large enough to imprison up to 1,000 Union soldiers; however, many written reports indicate that many, many more were housed there at times. Though history records that thousands of men died during their imprisonment on Belle Isle, their remains are long gone.
