The city of Schwenksville, Pennsylvania has a past steeped in history and is home to two buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. General George Washington and the Continental Army camped out in Schwenksville, and you can still visit the room where George Washington slept at the historic Pennypacker Mills. Historically, the city was home to Pennsylvania's first copper mine, although Schwenksville went on to become an important ice-harvesting center, supplying nearby Philadelphia with ice. The city's Perkiomen Creek also housed grain and textile mills, as well as an early summer resort community.

Today, the city is predominantly a residential and leisure area. When you book an RV in Schwenksville, you're not too far from the site of the famous annual Philadelphia Folk Festival, which takes place on the third week of August. Schwenksville is an ideal destination to enjoy the great outdoors. Enjoy the city's Meadow Park on the creek and explore the surrounding area with the Perkiomen Trail, a 19-mile multi-use rail trail. There is also a local golf course, or if you prefer faster-paced action, visit the city's ski slope resort for wintertime fun or summer outdoor activities.

Schwenksville is located around 40 miles from Philadelphia. The city is located between Route 422 from Cleveland and the Mid-County Expressway, part of I-476 also known as the "Blue Route." So, while you can easily get to major highways for traveling longer distances, you're not subjected to big city traffic and congestion.

An interesting variety of state parks surrounds Schwenksville, and you'll have plenty to explore in the local area, with more famous locations such as the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and Delaware State Forest a comfortable two-hour drive away in your Schwenksville luxury RV rental.
