RV Rental Pennsburg, PA

When you rent an RV in Pennsburg, you’ll likely want to hit the outdoors and explore a wide array of recreational activities. Pennsburg is a hop, a skip, and a jump away from a small but popular park, the Green Lane. The 3,400-acre park encompasses the Green Lane Reservoir and offers several miles of multi-use trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. There is a small bird sanctuary on the north end of the park, which offers plentiful photography and birdwatching opportunities. Close to the south point, there is a boat rental service, if you want to hit the waters. The service also offers pontoon boat tours in summers and autumns.

Another nearby park is the Nockamixon State Park. Combined with the adjacent state game lands, the park has nearly 10,000 acres of land for you to explore. There are 30 miles of multi-use trails, suitable for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Year-round boating is allowed, though the lake frequently freezes up in winters. Sailboats and catamarans are popular vessels on the Nockamixon lake. Classed a “big bass” lake, fishermen can catch a variety of fish, including smallmouth and largemouth bass, striped hybrid bass, walleye, and muskellunge. Loaner fishing rods are available with photo ids.

During the hunting seasons, the adjacent state park allows hunting and trapping of small game, including rabbits, pheasants, and turkeys, and deer. You must obtain the appropriate permits, however.

When you rent a motorhome in Pennsburg, you’ll need someplace to park overnight while you rest your head. There are several options within 10 miles’ radius.

Quakerwoods Campground, on the other hand, features amenities like playgrounds and game area, planned activities, hot showers, free WiFi, and laundry facilities.

On occasion, you’ll need to make an unplanned stop overnight. There are a handful of Walmart stores, which are known to be RV friendly, within 10 miles. The closest is in East Greenville. Be sure to ask the store manager for permission beforehand.
