Visit Philadelphia / Westchester KOA

Located less than an hour away from the Made In America Music Festival Venue, this scenic lodging area boasts cozy lodges along the Brandywine River. From this location, it is a quick drive to Lancaster’s Pennsylvania Dutch Country and Longwood Gardens, Winterthur Museum and Country Estate, Nemours Mansion and Garden, and more.

You can go fishing at the venue or from your camping site, and the summers typically hold live entertainment. There is also a pristine swimming pool, and a multitude of nearby restaurants, leaving this KOA with high ratings across the board!

Visiting the Iconic City!

See the classic sites of the city, such as the Liberty Bell or Independence Hall, visit one of many museums on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, gaze upon numerous water front locations and, of course, try a Philly cheesesteak sandwich on your way to the festival!

A city that has roots in the very origins of America, Philadelphia contains a multitude of remnants from the past blended beautifully together with more modern art, such as the iconic Rocky statue, or repainted “LOVE” sculpture.

When you stroll down the lovely, historic city pathways, it will be difficult not to find slews of interesting shops, restaurants, and lounging areas designed to accommodate the higher tastes of touristy visitors.

At one point, Philadelphia’s City Hall was the tallest building in America, and from many angles, you can see the proud building majestically watching over the city in the Greater Philadelphia area. 

The waterfront views are home to many boat houses and classic sailboats, lending an ethereally quaint ambience to the location. 

It will likely take more than one day to capture a true fraction of the city in all of its splendor, so if you plan to take this route (and we highly recommend that you do!), camping nearby for some R&R overnight, or even over two nights, will give you the daytime energy necessary to make the tourist aspect of visiting the festival truly memorable!

Most Americans Will Likely Cross Over Ohio!
