Facility Overview

PACC Lot 11 is an expansive, open-air surface parking facility operated by the Parking Authority of the City of Camden (PACC). Situated on the vibrant Camden Waterfront along the Delaware River, this lot serves as a primary access point for regional entertainment, historic attractions, and waterfront commerce. Because Lot 11 is a level, open-air asphalt facility with no overhead canopy or parking deck restrictions, it features unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an accommodating choice for a broad spectrum of vehicles, ranging from compact passenger cars and mid-size crossovers to full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, and high-roof conversion vans.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During peak amphitheater concerts and weekend summer festivals, waterfront parking fills up quickly. Event attendees are strongly advised to arrive 60 to 90 minutes prior to showtime to secure convenient placement and avoid congestion along Delaware Avenue. Event-day rates often replace standard hourly meters, with fixed flat fees ranging from $20 to $35 depending on the headliner. Pre-downloading mobile parking apps such as ParkMobile before arrival can significantly accelerate entry. When exiting following a major concert, expect temporary traffic diversions managed by local police to guide vehicles efficiently toward I-676 and the Ben Franklin Bridge.
