Camping near Fort Washington, Pennsylvania
Fort Washington sits in eastern Montgomery County, about 17 miles north of Philadelphia and roughly 2 miles from exit 339 of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The area is anchored by Fort Washington State Park, a 493-acre park in Springfield and Whitemarsh Townships that takes its name from the temporary fort built by George Washington's troops in the fall of 1777 before the march to Valley Forge. The location makes it a practical base for RV travelers combining suburban Philadelphia trips with time outdoors.
Overnight options in the immediate area lean toward private campgrounds rather than a full state park RV campground. Nearby operations include Village Scene Park, Oak Grove Park and Sales, Homestead Family Campgrounds, Boulder Woods Campground, and Little Red Barn Camp Grounds, giving renters a mix of family-run parks within reasonable driving distance of the city.
Fort Washington State Park itself offers group camping by reservation only rather than individual nightly RV sites, so travelers looking for standard hookup camping typically book one of the private campgrounds and use the state park for day-use recreation.
Things to do near Fort Washington
Fort Washington State Park is popular with hikers and picnickers, with the Militia Hill area providing a well-known access point off Militia Hill Road and Skippack Pike. The park is noted for the springtime flowering of dogwood trees and follows Washington's historic route toward Valley Forge, giving RV travelers a straightforward combination of trails, open fields, and Revolutionary War history in one stop. The park's observation tower is also a known spot for watching seasonal raptor migration.
Day trips are easy from the Fort Washington area. Philadelphia is about 17 miles south, putting the historic district, museums, and family attractions within a short drive. Valley Forge National Historical Park lies a short drive west. Closer in, park picnic groves at Militia Hill make a practical lunch break between hikes or driving days.

Southeastern Pennsylvania has a humid climate with four distinct seasons. Spring is a signature time at Fort Washington State Park because of the flowering dogwoods, and daytime temperatures are comfortable for hiking and sightseeing. Rain is common in spring and summer months, so RV travelers should plan for wet-weather gear and expect occasional thunderstorms.
Summer brings the warmest, most humid weather and the highest campground demand across Pennsylvania state parks. Because Pennsylvania opens reservations up to 11 months in advance, popular weekends fill early, and private campgrounds around Philadelphia see similar pressure on holiday weekends.
Fall is often the most pleasant stretch for camping in the region, with cooler nights, lower humidity, and foliage color from late September into November. Winter is cold enough that many private campgrounds close or reduce operations, though Fort Washington State Park's rustic group camping area is listed as open year round.

Great weekend getaway!
Kami A. - Nov 2024
Great vehicle and friendly owners. This compact camper has a lot of creature comforts while allowing one to maneuver and park in regular parking lots. The van is really easy to drive and handles really nice. The beds were comfortable and IMO accommodate 2 adults (top bed) and 1 adult or 2 kids in the lower bed. We were able to use the bike rack, too, and that worked great for a road bike and mountain bike (I think 2 mountain bikes might not fit unless the handle bars were turned on 1 of them). We didn't use the, generator, heater, hot water, shower, sink, microwave or toilet so I can't comment on them but I wish we rented it longer so we could've taken advantage of all this van has to offer. We would absolutely rent again.

How to book a campsite near Fort Washington
For Pennsylvania state park sites, reservations are handled through the Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests Reservations system, powered by ReserveAmerica, or by calling 888-PA-PARKS (888-727-2757). Most campsites can be reserved up to 11 months in advance, with a minimum of 3 days ahead of arrival for online booking. Pennsylvania releases new reservations at noon Eastern Time, which is unusual among state park systems that typically open bookings early in the morning.
Fort Washington State Park's overnight area operates as group camping by reservation only, not individual nightly sites, so RV renters generally reserve directly with private campgrounds nearby such as Homestead Family Campgrounds, Boulder Woods Campground, or Little Red Barn Camp Grounds. Book by phone or through the campground's website, and confirm rig length limits and hookup type before arrival.
What to expect on the ground
Cell service can be unpredictable in and around many Pennsylvania state parks, so downloading maps ahead of time is worthwhile. Fort Washington State Park uses a carry-in, carry-out trash policy with no on-site trash or recycling collection, meaning campers and day-use visitors are expected to take all garbage home.
Bringing firewood into Pennsylvania from out of state is prohibited to help prevent the spread of invasive insects like the emerald ash borer, so plan to buy local firewood on arrival and burn any wood you bring before departure. Fires are permitted in provided fire rings only, and all fires must be fully extinguished before leaving the site.
Hunting is not permitted inside Fort Washington State Park, and a two-plug electric vehicle charging station is available in Parking Lot 5 near the Militia Hill Day Use Area for travelers with EV tow vehicles.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Fort Washington, PA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Fort Washington, PA?
Renting an RV in Fort Washington is more affordable than most travelers expect. Travel trailers typically run $90 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes average $175 to $295, and luxury Class A rigs can reach $350 or more. Since Fort Washington sits just 17 miles north of Philadelphia and 2 miles from PA Turnpike Exit 339, you can keep mileage costs low by basing your trip locally. To save on your RV rental Pennsylvania trip, book midweek, target shoulder months like late April or October, and filter for Instant Book listings. Pro tip: many Montgomery County hosts bundle in linens and camp chairs at no extra cost, so message them before booking to confirm what is included.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Fort%20Washington%2C%20PennsylvaniaDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Fort Washington, PA?
Good news: for the vast majority of RV rentals in Fort Washington, your regular Class C driver's license is all you need. Pennsylvania only requires a non-commercial Class B license for single motorhomes with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) over 26,000 pounds, and a non-commercial Class A for combinations over 26,000 pounds towing more than 10,000 pounds. Nearly every campervan, travel trailer, and Class C on RVezy falls well below those thresholds. RVezy approved drivers are generally required to be at least 25 years old, and ID is verified through the platform. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home auto association before your trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included when I rent an RV in Fort Washington?
Every RVezy booking in Fort Washington includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the PA Turnpike or head out to Fort Washington State Park with real peace of mind. The protection plan helps cover most damages to the vehicle during your rental, and you choose your coverage level (not the host) during the booking process. While it is not traditional auto insurance, it provides substantial financial protection. Pro tip: review the protection options carefully at checkout, especially if you are a first-time renter, then save RVezy's support contact in your phone before pickup so help is one tap away.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Fort Washington RV trip plans change?
Booking an RV rental in Fort Washington is low-risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and it includes a grace-period window after booking where you can cancel for a full refund. Beyond that, refunds depend on how far out from your trip start you cancel. If a host cancels on you, RVezy provides a refund or travel credit so you are not left stranded. Book early to lock in your preferred rig and have maximum flexibility. Pro tip: contact RVezy support directly if your plans shift unexpectedly. They are available before, during, and after every trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Fort Washington?
Absolutely, plenty of pet-friendly RV rental Fort Washington options are available. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) in their rigs. Once you arrive, you have great places to roam: Fort Washington State Park allows leashed pets on trails and in designated day-use areas, and the Wissahickon Valley Park trails just south of town are a dog-walker's paradise. Most state parks in Montgomery County permit leashed pets on hiking trails as long as you clean up after them. Pro tip: pack a collapsible water bowl. Summer humidity in southeastern PA climbs fast and your pup will thank you.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/fort-washington-state-park.htmlCan the RV be delivered to my campground or driveway in Fort Washington?
Yes, RV delivery Fort Washington is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you are a first-timer. Many Montgomery County hosts will drive the RV directly to your driveway or a local campground like French Creek State Park. They will level it, hook up utilities, and walk you through every system before leaving. Use the Delivery filter when searching, then message the host to confirm distance fees (often free within a set radius of Fort Washington). Pro tip: delivery is a game-changer if you are nervous about driving a big rig through Philadelphia traffic on I-476.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Fort%20Washington%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow far can I drive on an RV road trip from Fort Washington?
You are perfectly positioned for an RV road trip from Fort Washington. The Pocono Mountains are just 75 miles north up I-476, the Jersey Shore (Cape May) is about 100 miles southeast, Lancaster's Amish Country sits 65 miles west, the Catskills are around 165 miles north, and Washington, D.C. is roughly 145 miles south. Mileage policies are set by the host, with many offering 100 to 150 free miles per night and some advertising RV rental with unlimited mileage. Always check the listing's mileage cap and overage rate before booking. Pro tip: message your host with your full itinerary, as many will bundle in extra miles for longer trips.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Fort%20Washington%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhat are the best campgrounds near Fort Washington, PA for RV camping?
You have excellent RV camping Fort Washington options within an hour's drive. Evansburg State Park (about 12 miles northwest) offers a family campground and is a convenient state park option near town. French Creek State Park (35 miles west) has level sites and a lake for kayaking. Hidden Acres Campground in Quakertown (about 30 miles north) provides full hookups, a pool, and family-friendly amenities. Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA (about 35 miles south, just over the NJ border) is the closest full-service KOA. Note that Fort Washington State Park itself does not offer individual RV camping. Pro tip: state park sites book out fast on summer weekends, so reserve through the official Pennsylvania State Parks reservation site as soon as your dates are firm.
pennsylvaniastateparks.reserveamerica.com/When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Fort Washington?
Late April through mid-June and September through late October are the sweet spots for a Fort Washington RV trip. Spring brings flowering dogwoods to Fort Washington State Park and daytime highs of 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Fall delivers crisp air, vivid foliage, and the famous raptor migration viewable from the park's Militia Hill hawk watch. Summer (July to August) is warm and humid with highs in the upper 80s and afternoon thunderstorms, but campgrounds and the Jersey Shore are in full swing. Winter is quiet but doable with a four-season rig. Pro tip: book a mid-October weekend to catch peak Pennsylvania foliage on a Pocono loop.
weather.gov/phi/I have never rented an RV before. How do I know what to do?
First time renting an RV? You are in great hands in Fort Washington. Every RVezy host provides a full walkthrough at pickup or delivery, covering the generator, water systems, slide-outs, propane, leveling, and dump procedures. Most walkthroughs run 30 to 60 minutes, and hosts encourage you to take video on your phone. You can also message the host before booking with any questions, and RVezy support is available to help throughout your trip. For your first trip, consider staying close to home, like a weekend at Evansburg State Park, before tackling longer hauls. Pro tip: start with a Class C or travel trailer instead of a big Class A. They drive much more like a large van.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have a breakdown or issue on the road?
You are never stranded with an RVezy rental. Every booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, covering common issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. From Fort Washington, you are within quick reach of major service hubs in Plymouth Meeting, King of Prussia, and Willow Grove if a repair is needed. The PA Turnpike also offers *11 dial-in service for emergencies, and 511PA provides real-time road conditions. Pro tip: snap photos of the RV before leaving, save your host's phone number, RVezy support, and the roadside assistance number to your phone, and you will have a backup plan for any hiccup.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Fort Washington RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is allowed and one of the best perks of an RV rental in Fort Washington. You can easily reach New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington D.C. without issue, since your protection plan covers travel throughout the U.S. Travel to Canada is sometimes allowed depending on the host, so message the host before booking to confirm. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Popular cross-state routes from Fort Washington include the Jersey Shore loop, a Finger Lakes wine country trip, and the Chesapeake Bay swing through Maryland. Pro tip: confirm cross-border permission in writing through RVezy's messaging system.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on my Fort Washington RV trip?
Realistic fuel budgeting makes your motorhome rental Fort Washington trip stress-free. Gas prices in southeastern Pennsylvania typically run $3.30 to $3.80 per gallon, and most Class C motorhomes get 8 to 10 miles per gallon (MPG), travel trailers reduce your tow vehicle's MPG to about 10 to 12, and campervans can hit 16 to 20 MPG. For a 300-mile weekend loop to the Poconos in a Class C, plan on around $100 to $140 in fuel. Filling up just before the PA Turnpike on-ramp at Exit 339 is usually cheaper than gas stations along the toll road. Pro tip: download GasBuddy and you will routinely save 20 to 40 cents per gallon around Fort Washington and Ambler.
gasprices.aaa.com/?state=PAHow far in advance should I book a campground near Fort Washington?
For the best campgrounds near Fort Washington, book 2 to 6 months ahead for peak summer weekends, especially Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. Pennsylvania State Parks (like Evansburg and French Creek) accept reservations up to 12 months in advance through the official Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system, and prime sites near the lake at French Creek can vanish within minutes of opening. Private parks like Hidden Acres or Philadelphia South KOA usually have more last-minute availability. Pro tip: shoulder-season weekends (May or late September) are far easier to book and often 20 percent cheaper. For a spontaneous family RV trip Fort Washington, target Sunday through Thursday stays.
pennsylvaniastateparks.reserveamerica.com/What is driving an RV like in and around Fort Washington?
Driving conditions around Fort Washington are very manageable for RVs. The PA Turnpike (I-76/I-276), I-476, and Route 309 are all wide, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. Avoid driving directly into Center City Philadelphia in anything larger than a campervan, since narrow streets, low parking garages, and the Vine Street Expressway tunnel section make it tough. Instead, park at Norristown Transportation Center or take SEPTA into the city. Pro tip: head out before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. to dodge the Schuylkill Expressway rush hour, and check 511PA.com for real-time vehicle restrictions during winter storms when RVs may be temporarily restricted.
511pa.com/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Fort Washington?
Campgrounds near Fort Washington offer a strong mix of full and partial hookups. Private parks like Hidden Acres and Philadelphia South KOA provide 30/50-amp electric, water, sewer, dump stations, hot showers, laundry, and Wi-Fi. State parks like Evansburg and French Creek typically offer electric hookup sites with shared water spigots and a central dump station for registered campers. Most parks have flush toilets, and many offer propane refills on-site. For where to park an RV in Fort Washington overnight outside of campgrounds, always call ahead to confirm overnight parking is allowed at the specific location. Pro tip: top off fresh water before leaving the campground, since in-town fill stations are limited in Montgomery County.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/fort-washington-state-park.htmlWhat features and amenities come inside the rental RV itself?
Most RVs you can rent in Fort Washington come fully equipped for comfortable living. Expect a queen or king bed, convertible dinette and sofa sleeping for 4 to 8 people, and a full kitchen with fridge/freezer, stovetop, microwave, sink, and basic cookware. Bathrooms include a toilet, shower, and sink. Standard features also include roof AC, furnace heating, a generator (on most motorhomes), 12V and 110V outlets, and seatbelts for road travel. Many hosts include a TV, Bluetooth speaker, and outdoor awning. Wi-Fi varies, so most travelers tether to their phone hotspot. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps count and check the photos carefully so the floorplan matches how your group really wants to live.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Fort%20Washington%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Booking a campervan rental Fort Washington or larger motorhome comes with flexible add-ons that elevate your trip. Popular extras include linens and towel packages, camp chair and table kits, bike racks, generators (often included on Class C), portable grills, and kayak/paddleboard rentals. Pickup is usually at the host's home in the Fort Washington, Ambler, Blue Bell, or Plymouth Meeting area, with delivery available for an extra fee. Mileage policies typically allow 100 to 150 free miles per night with overage at 35 to 50 cents per mile. Pro tip: bundle pet fees, generator hours, and linens upfront so there are zero surprises at return time.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Fort%20Washington%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment for your cheap RV rental Fort Washington search is handled securely through RVezy, never directly to the host. You pay the rental cost when booking with a credit or debit card, plus a refundable security deposit that is held but not charged unless there is damage. The hold is released after a successful return, separate from your booking payment. Always communicate and pay through the RVezy platform to keep your protection plan valid. Pro tip: do a thorough video walkaround at pickup AND return with the host, timestamped on your phone, to make security deposit release smooth and dispute-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Fort Washington for winter trips?
Yes, winter RV rentals are available in Fort Washington, and many hosts keep their rigs listed year-round. Average winter temperatures range from about 25 to 42 degrees Fahrenheit, with occasional snow, so look for listings that mention four-season insulation, heated holding tanks, or shore-power hookup capability. Many private campgrounds within an hour (like Hidden Acres in Quakertown) stay open year-round with winterized water hookups. Pro tip: a winter Pocono ski trip from Fort Washington is magical. You are about 90 minutes from Camelback and Jack Frost. Check 511PA before traveling, since PennDOT can temporarily restrict RVs on interstates during winter storms, and confirm with your host that the RV is fully winterized.
