Established as the fruits of an act of Congress in 1948, Independence National Historical Park sits on a 55-acre piece of land deep in the heart of Philadelphia. The park encompasses three blocks in the city that played a crucial role in the history of the United States. It is in this park in 1776 that the founding fathers convened to sign the Declaration of Independence. Just over a decade later, representatives from 12 states met here to endorse the constitution. If you're an American, the Independence National Historical Park is one of the parks you should visit at least once in your life. Cross this historical park off your bucket list by planning a motorhome camping excursion to Philadelphia for your next vacation.

Perhaps the most recognizable feature of the park is the Liberty Bell, which bears an iconic message that reads "proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." Other highlights include the Benjamin Franklin Museum, the Congress Hall, and the Independence Visitor Center.

Getting Outdoors

Philadelphia is widely known for its rich history. As a result of that, the city is full of historical sites and museums. When camping with an RV in Philadelphia, the Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia is one of the most exciting things to do. The 1.25-mile journey is the best way to explore the birthplace of America. While it takes only about 75 minutes to complete, you’ll need a minimum of about one or two days, to extensively explore the historic sites.

If you’re into photography, how about taking a photo tour? Independence National Historical Park has lots of plaques and statues, but the Signer Statue makes for a great photo opportunity. Simply stand beside the statue and pose like it for a quick snap. Standing at the center of Signers Garden, the statue commemorates all who devoted their lives to fighting for American freedom. Also, a selfie with the Liberty Bell is good proof that you were indeed in Philadelphia.

After touring the historical sites, Franklin Square is perfect for relaxing before driving off in your campervan towards a campground. Located between North 6th and 7th Streets, the park is one of the five original open-space parks planned by William Penn when he laid out the city. The park’s highlights include the Philly Mini-Golf Course, the Parx Liberty Carousel, and the magnificent Franklin Square Fountain.
