Very nice, clean Campground. Well spaced sites. Friendly staff. Great Ice cream. Only negative was the very poor water pressure at campsite, could not even take a shower in the morning as water was only a trickle. 7/3/2019

Showers and restrooms were in need of 7/2/2019

Women's restroom was spotless, but the shower heads are in a fixed position with the water aimed too high. I'm tall. Shorter women would have major difficulties. Shower head in ADA stall also in fixed position - did not try it... 7/2/2019

Nice quite campground except for the campground's two gas powered carts. Why not electric carts? Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful swimming area. 7/2/2019

Referred to as the birthplace of our nation and home to the first national capitol, Philadelphia is abundant in history and culture. With so many attractions it's worth a few days of exploring. Spend your first day on our campground's Philadelphia & Valley Forge Tour to visit all the main historic attractions including Independence National Historic Park, Independence Hall, Liberty Bell & Pavilion, Carpenter's Hall, Franklin Court, Elfreth's Alley, Christ Church and the Betsy Ross House. Head back into the city on your following days to continue your venture through history at the National Constitution Center, U.S. Mint or Museum of the American Revolution. In addition to history, take in some art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, find something delicious to eat at Reading Terminal Market, see Al Capone's cell at the Eastern State Penitentiary, or head to the Franklin Institute or Please Touch Museum for some kid-friendly fun.
