Thanks everyone! We'll be paying out of pocket for this adventure, so we're hoping it won't be too insanely expensive. It's for a max of 6 months, hopefully not quite that long. He has to be within about an hour commute from the airport, and won't have to be there very often. Hopefully not more than once a week. I homeschool the kids, so I thought it might be an awesome opportunity for us to check out some historical sites too! Most of all, I need to feel safe and clean. There will be some nights when I'll have to be there alone with the kids while my husband works. So, no creepyville places :)
Thanks for the suggestions so far! Keep them coming, along with any advise for must do's and see's in the area!

I work from home and we live in our camper as we travel the country. If you can do it, have fun with it!

That said, what time of year would be the "max of 6 months". PA gets pretty cold come Dec-Feb and into March.

Have tons of family in the Philly area from So. Philly to the Northeast. Stayed at Timberlane x3 and found it most convenient. Did the K.O.A. in West Chester once when we were doing Revolutionary and Civil War battlefield. It was an okay commute into the city during non rush times. If you are working at the airport Timberlane will be your best bet for commutes. Call early for reservation as they fill up. They may be able to put you in a long term site in the back, You will be better for commuting taking the Chester Bridge and coming into the airport from the south. Still no joy. Walt Whitman, watch your lane position. BTW have a cousin who is a bridge inspector and refuses to cross Ben Franklin.

We've stayed at Timberlane. It's across the the river and south in New Jersey. Will his company pick up the tab or is this on your dime? Either way the bridge and traffic can be tough at any time of the day but especially during morning and afternoon rush hours.

We have stayed at the Timberlane Campground while visiting Philly.
