RV Rental Flourtown, PA

When you book an RV in Flourtown, one of the first things you’ll want to do is explore the recreational activities in the area. Being this close to Philadelphia, dozens of pockets of wilderness remain, and you can get a glimpse of what it was like 200 years ago. The Pennypack Preserve is a local hidden gem, where the elusive white-tailed deer and foxes can still be spotted.

Nearby Wissahickon Valley Park is deceptively small, and yet, it somehow packs over 50 miles of trails for hikers, bikers, and horseback riding, and dozens of historical and geological sites are easily accessed from the trails. The creek is stocked with trout, and bass and sunfish can be caught, so don't forget to pack your rod and reel in your Flourtown luxury motorhome rental!

Bring your Flourtown RV rental to French Creek State Park, the largest park in between New York City and Washington, D.C., and explore a verdant mix of forests, wetlands, and aquatic terrains. Choose from a variety of activities like hiking, fishing, and photography. The trails wind through mature, old growth woods. Remnants of old bridges abandoned forges, and mills still dot the park.

When you rent a Flourtown travel trailer, you’ll need someplace to park while you explore the area. Unfortunately, you’ll have to head out of town to find a few options. The KOA in West Chester features amenities like 30/50 amps, WiFi, a gem mine, and a pet park area.

Brandywine Creek Campground, adjacent to the Marsh Creek State Park, provides the usual amenities like 30/50 amps, WiFi, a bathhouse, and a pool. There is also a fishing pond for you to spend a lazy afternoon at.

Further out of town, French Creek State Park offers plenty of space for RVs and trailers. Space is limited for the full-hookup lots; reserve ahead of time, especially in summers.

Although Flourtown is a small town, there’s plenty of things to do and see. The Morris Arboretum, owned by University of Pennsylvania, showcases over 13,000 plants, lovingly cultivated by the Arboretum’s staff.

The Dorrance H. Hamilton Fernery (greenhouse) is the only freestanding victorian-era fernery in USA. Waterfalls, ponds, lush green ferns, and elaborate stone walls line the paths inside. Climb to new heights and get a bird’s eye view of the forest below. Imagine what it would be like to fly like a bird. There’s even a giant robin nest, complete with eggs.

Guided tours by foot, bicycle, car, or trolley at Valley Forge educate visitors on what General Washington and his men endured during one of the harshest winters on the record.

History lovers flock to visit the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Franklin Institute, and National Constitution Center in nearby Philadelphia. There are walking tours guided by experts, and some will dress the part, too. See historic homes in the Franklin Court, where notable people lived, including Ben Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson.

There’s more to Philadelphia than history, though. Art, food (cheesesteaks, especially) and the LOVE sculpture are some of the other attractions that will make your adventure spectacular.

Some of the world’s most famous artists’ works are housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Notable artists include but are not limited to Diego Rivera, Claude Monet, and Vincent Van Gogh. Be sure to run up the “Rocky steps," made famous by the iconic Rocky movies.

Over 1,300 animals makes its home at the Philadelphia Zoo, which is adjacent to Fairmount Park. Some of its residents, like the Amur leopard and the western lowland gorilla, are endangered, and the Zoo is actively working toward preserving the species.

There are several fabulous restaurants, pubs, bars, and nightclubs mostly in the southern portion of the “Center City” area.

At the end of a long day of adventure and sightseeing, be sure to stop for the classic Philadelphia Cheesesteak. Here’s a tip for a out-of-towner: a real cheesesteak place won’t call them cheesesteaks. They are simply “steaks” so should you see a Philadelphia restaurant advertising cheesesteaks, skip it. In a similar vein, if a cheesesteak restaurant offers other meals like burgers and chicken sandwiches, it’s very likely not a genuine cheesesteak shop.

Jim’s Steaks, south of Independence Center, is a no-frills steak shop, established in 1939.
