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.

My family and I had a great experience staying in this RV! Jim was a wonderful host who went above and beyond to ensure that my family and I had all that we needed and were well taken care of. He was great at checking in on us and was very attentive to anything that came up. The RV was clean and had plenty of room for our family of 5. Everything was well taken care of. We highly recommend!

We had a great time renting Phil's RV to tailgate the Eagles game!
The setup was perfect for getting hyped for the game. Phil went above and beyond to get the generator fired up —huge thanks to him for making it all smooth.
The game was unforgettable-the Eagles clinched the NFC
Championship and are heading to the Super Bowl! The RV made the experience even better, giving us the perfect spot to celebrate before and after the game. Go Birds!
