About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated directly along the vibrant Camden Waterfront on the Delaware River, 1 Market St Parking provides premier, accessible vehicle parking at the historic foot of Market Street. Positioned right beside The Victor building and scenic riverbank promenades, this open-air surface parking facility offers uncomplicated navigation and spacious bays for visitors exploring Camden\'s cultural, entertainment, and business district. Because the facility operates as an open-sky surface lot, there are no restrictive low-clearance garage ceilings, making it exceptionally well-suited for standard passenger vehicles, full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and high-roof passenger or transport vans.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Event days at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion and holiday weekends at the Adventure Aquarium can bring substantial vehicular traffic to the Camden Waterfront. Drivers are strongly advised to arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes prior to major concert start times to secure a prime stall and beat roadway slowdowns on Delaware Avenue. Check signage upon entry for event-rate flat fees versus regular hourly rates, and remember to display your printed receipt on the dashboard or ensure your license plate is correctly entered into the mobile payment app.
