Discover Fairmount Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

The historic urban feel of Philadelphia continuously draws in crowds to experience the cheesesteaks, the cobblestone-lined streets, and the infamous Rocky statue. While the city is very much alive with so much to offer residents and RV rental travelers alike, sometimes a bit of nature-filled solitude is much needed. In the many towns just outside the city, a productive countryside awaits, but within city limits, a 2,000-acre oasis sits tucked along both sides of the Schuylkill River.

Getting Outdoors

Fairmount Park may not be mountainous, but it has plenty of ground to be covered on foot, bike, or horseback. Take advantage of the miles of both paved and unpaved trails that wind and weave through the property. Along the way, enjoy sights of the river, boathouses, and other various landmarks scattered on the property. For mountain bikers, due to the maintenance needed for the tails, a riding permit is required. Otherwise, entrance to the park and its facilities are open sunrise to sunset free of charge.

Camping at Fairmount Park

Fairmount Park is more of a public use outdoor recreation space than a campground. So, unfortunately, Fairmount Park campers will have to look elsewhere to park their RVs for the night. There aren’t many options right near the park, but there are a few near Philadelphia. You may also be able to find a commercial parking lot that might allow you to park for free or at a small cost overnight. There won’t be any facilities or amenities, but at least you’d still be in the city.

Exploring the Area

At Fairmount Park, you can do more than just appreciate your surroundings. Public art is sprinkled throughout; each statue should have a description of the piece and the artist. Tours are available for the various historic mansions and houses that have been longstanding at the park. Notably, the Shofuso Japanese House and Garden is a nationally ranked garden that invites guests to learn about Japanese history and culture. Water Works, once home to the engine room of the water department before being used for a restaurant and lounge, is now a magical setting for events while offering lovely views of the Boathouse Row and the Center City skyline.

Ashley and Aaron were incredible hosts! They arrived before I did and took care of everything, from delivering and setting up the camper to choosing the perfect spot. The camper itself is fantastic, equipped with all the amenities I could want. It’s clean, spacious, and warm. I highly recommend the camper, but even more so Ashley and Aaron. They communicated effectively throughout the rental process and went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience.
