SO many things to see here. This campground is a great place to visit these sites, and more, within a 40 minute drive either direction. This is a nice clean campground with all the amenities you or a family could need.
We are into history rather than playgrounds, bouncy things, and campgrounds in general. So we ventured into Philly for Independence Hall, Benjamin Franklin Museum, and seeing the Liberty Bell. It took about 40 minutes to drive into town and get parked. Absolutely do not try to drive your camper or rig into town! Even the parking building we went in had a clearance of 6'6". Our truck is 18' long, and barely made the turns inside the parking structure. It makes for a good 6 hours+ of visiting the sites per day. Avoid rush hour if you can, it is insane here. No one drives the speed limit. KNOW your turns in advance due to thick traffic.
Valley Forge is a must. It is a gorgeous setting and the history we learned was amazing. I sure didn't pay attention in school, but in truth, we weren't presented with all this information. Easy 40+ minutes drive north to this location. The driving tour is so nice, take a picnic lunch and get out and enjoy this drive.
Fort Mott State Park was COOL! A perfect easy 25 mile drive away. A lesser known Park in my estimation. Take a picnic lunch with you and walk the grounds and visit the area. It was a nice relaxing drive here and on the return coming back through Salem and Millville north east. Quaint country side, vegetable markets and less traffic. Also, it was great to drive at speeds that were slower through this area.
