RV Rental Landenberg, PA

When you book an RV rental, one of the first things you’ll want to do is go on adventures in the outdoors. The nearby White Clay Creek Preserve, a former Lenape tribe hunting grounds, is a lush wooded park with miles of multi-use trails. Hiking is welcome on all trails, however mountain biking and horseback riding are limited to certain trails (check with the park ranger for a list). Delaware’s counterpart, White Clay Creek State Park, is nearly 4,000 acres and has about 37 miles of hiking and biking trails, some with moderate elevation gains leading to scenic vistas of the valley. Historic sites are well marked. The parking lots have space that can accommodate a motorhome rental from Landenberg.

White Clay Creek, which is stocked with a few varieties of trouts several times in springtime, has a reputation for being one of the best trout fishing rivers in Pennsylvania. The creek is fairly shallow along most stretches, but in springtime and early summer, kayaking and canoeing are possible.

Adjoining White Clay Creek State Park, the Middle Run Valley Natural Area adds an extra 15 miles of hiking trail. This area is home to hundreds of different species, some of which includes owls, eagles, foxes, and deer. There are plenty of models for nature photographers and artists.

When making plans for your RV rental, be sure to figure out where you’ll stay overnight. McCloskey Campgrounds in Elkton, MD, boasts a scenic setting, primo fishing access, and access to local hiking and biking trails.

Fair Hills Natural Resources Management Area offers a campground with some amenities for the RV communities, such as full hookups and water. Hiking and biking trails are nearby.

Check online for the pertinent information.

In this corner of Pennsylvania, it’s easy to think that there isn’t much to see or do around here. In a Landenberg motorhome rental, the world is your oyster, as the city is well-centered to several major attractions. Wilmington, DE, a small city, is only 15 miles away. Chesapeake Bay is just under 20 miles. And the heart of Amish Country, the farmlands south of Lancaster is about 30 miles. In the immediate area around Landenberg, there’s plenty of things to see, too.

Because of the mild climate and occasionally humid summers, this part of state is well suited to growing grapes. There are several vineyards and wineries in the area. Paradocx Vineyard, which grows Alsatian grapes, specializes in crisp, dry white wines. They also produce Blancs and red wines. Their tasting room has a stellar views of 100-acre rolling farmlands covered by neat rows of grape vines.

Several homes, farms, and other buildings in the area are historic, dating back to early 1700s. There are a few original covered bridges, for which Pennsylvania is well known, still standing. The Landenberg Road Bridge is a “younger” bridge, built in late 1800s using a specific type of construction called a Pratt Pony Truss. This bridge is closed to automobile, but can still be crossed on foot. Other nearby bridges are: Chambers Rock Road Bridge and Gilpin’s Falls Covered Bridge in Maryland, which is open to pedestrians.

Marshall Steam Museum and Friends of Auburn in Yorklyn, is a fun little museum that a working steam train sized for children. The Marshall Family Home, a Tudor-style home with a gothic stone exterior, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the site of the first Stanley automobile dealership. The museum exhibits a collection of vintage steam engines and steam automobiles. Many automobiles are still drivable, and museum volunteers are known to treat visitors to rides on occasion. The open-house guided tours take the guests behind the scenes, giving them an insider’s look at the beginning of the automobile age. Because the museum is staffed by volunteer, schedule can be erratic. It’s recommended that you call to make arrangements for a visit.
