Fort Mifflin was continuously operated from 1777 to 1952. For a crucial five weeks, it prevented the British navy from bringing supplies and relief to the British troops in Philadelphia, allowing George Washington to escape to Valley Forge. It’s a beautiful spot on the Delaware river, with lots of beautiful, grassy spots to work, and plenty of dim, haunted tunnels to explore.
Particulars
- Interestingness: Maximum. From your seat, you’ll be able to see giant tankers from all over the world glide up the Delaware river, while planes land overhead. And you’ll be sitting directly on top of 12′ tall brick casemates filled with certified Revolutionary ghosts.
- Microclimate: Excellent. Presence of lots of sheltering walls means we can get set up in the sun, but out of the wind.

- Restrooms: Indoor plumbing on site.
- Handicapped access: Yes.
