Some of the park is shady; some under the trees. There are no cement pads. Looks as though a good many people are seasonal and leave their RV here. They have very good accommodations for horses--8 or so paddocks; probably 25 or 30 stalls and ample parking for horse trailers. There are also some cabins for rent. Bet this place is busy during the summer. You can ride your horse right across the road and you are in Gettysburg Civil War Park. There's also a driving tour and you can rent the audio cd in the RV office where everyone is very friendly and accommodating. This is the closest campground to the park. The sites are not very level and have gravel but if you're not a new camper, you can set up fairly easily. You can buy wood and there are fire pits. We like the accessibility to town and to the park and will stay here again. They do honor passport American Sunday thru Thursday and give 10% Good Sam discount. Two nights with tax etc; one Good Sam; one PA and the cost was $77. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The rate is Passport America. This is a nice location near the battlefield. There is easy access off of the highway. The sites are very close together, even in April when it's not very crowded. The staff was friendly. The bathrooms were adequate. There is a nice campstore full of collectable items. This is an okay campground, but not worth $55 full rate. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Destination campground located in rural Pennsylvania adjacent to the Gettysburg Battlefields. Price is for PA. Good well marked access from freeway on good narrow paved road. Its Gettysburg-all the roads are old and narrow! Gravel interior roads with less than level gravel sites. Better than average space between sites with grass and some trees between sites and a picnic table at each site. Lots of room to maneuver. Sites are well spaced with good access to utilities and all worked properly. Sewer connection is at rear of site so it can be a long run from rig to sewer. WiFi slow but did work. Finding a satellite connection is a challenge. I could not get off air TV signal. Verizon voice and data worked fine. Showers/restrooms are spotless and laundry is one of the best. Very very quiet with no train, plane or traffic noise. Very friendly and helpful staff. We were in the park in April, no flies as mentioned in previous comments. No horses-no flies. Park has a good store and lots of activities for the kiddos. This park is so close to the battlefields and the site of Pickets charge, you can almost hear the muskets and artillery. An excellent park for a base of operations for the area; Lancaster PA and Amish country, Washington DC, Antietam Battlefield, Gettysburg and other attractions in the area. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is large. The big rig area is far from the office. The park road to/from that area is one lane. Two motor homes meeting face to face? One is going to have to back up. I asked at the office how they avoid that problem. No answer. The area needs a lot of work. It may be new and in progress, but it looks like it was thrown together at the last minute. When you call for a nightly rate, make sure to ask if there are any add-ons. There was a hefty extra "holiday fee" of $16 when I was here. In addition to national holidays, they make up their own. For instance, all weekends in October are Halloween holidays. Otherwise it is the lowest price park in the area. Also, the location is excellent. It's a short drive to town and a shorter drive to the Park Visitor's center. Wi-Fi is not really available in the big rig area. The antenna is there, but the coverage is not. I was told to go to the activities center for Wi-Fi. We would stay here again. Follow your bliss. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our site was on main road, site #71. Not recommended if you have children or pets. Cars do not obey speed limit. Very heavy traffic at all hours. Bathrooms near pavilion were very clean, but bathrooms near office were awful. However, location is very close to battlefield and visitor center, which is a plus. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Price reflects Passport America. Checking in was very easy and fast. We were assigned site no. 41, a long pull-through, next to the bathrooms and laundry. Our site was a little un-level latterly. Bathroom and showers were very clean. WiFi was marginal, especially slowing down dramatically mornings and evenings. Some minor fly issues but manageable. Staff are all fantastic. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We only stayed here overnight. It is part of the Gettysburg National Battlefield and part of the horse tour. The sites are a nice size, some shaded and some not. Internet service was poor and no cable available. The pool was very clean and warm. Bathrooms and showers were nice and the laundry room was one of the best I've seen. We may possibly return.

This is a nice park. Sites are gravel and as level as could be expected. All utilities worked well. The laundry was probably the best that we have encountered. New washing machines and dryers, the only place that we have been where we have dried a load in less than one hour. Staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing that we found wrong was the internet connection would occasionally slow down to dial up speed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground that is close to battlefield. Camped here in a large RV and would recommend the long pull-through sites on the hill for big rigs. These sites were gravel and fairly level and they had satellite access. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Looking at the other campgrounds in the area, this one was the best by far.

This was our second visit to this park. They have remodeled the bathhouse since our last visit, and that in itself deserves a higher rating than I gave it in my first review. We do not travel with children and avoid them whenever possible. There were a few children, but the park was inhabited mostly by adults, so we were happy with that. The pool was clean and never crowded, even with the temperature hovering in the mid to upper 90s. I should also mention that I observed one of the park workers walking through the park as a sudden intense thunderstorm was approaching, securing absent camper's chairs and other outside belongings. I thought that was a nice touch. It is a quiet and serene place to base yourself while exploring the wonders of Gettysburg and I recommend it to anyone looking for something relaxing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is a wonderful campground. We always stay back down by the horses. There were not too many this weekend. They were helpful in putting our friends right next to us too. The Wi-Fi is slow and goes in and out, but that is the only thing I would right it down for. The rest of the place is very nice. It is a horse park so there are horse droppings around and the sites down there are not the most level. If I can get level in my big rig you should be able too. You might have to back and fill to get there though. I would and will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the perfect place to explore the battlefield. Just one mile away from the Visitor Center with museum and where the tours start. However, we found the sites (gravel in grass) to be not very level, little privacy but good hookups. The Wi-Fi was terribly slow and unreliable. During the weekend there was heavy traffic (even buses!) on the gravel roads inside the campground since the tent area was packed and all traffic to and from the tent area and horse stables came along our site. Other than that it was rather quiet. Our rate was a mix of Good Sam and Passport America for a full hookup pull through. When we return to Gettysburg we would stay here again but request a site far away from the main campground road. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What I’m looking for in campgrounds is easy big rig access, full hookup at 50 amp, level sites, secure area, and clean restrooms. Pull-through sites, Wi-Fi, and cable TV are bonus features which are much appreciated. I have no interest in a pool, a dog run, or kid’s activities. I’m here to see sights in the area and the campground is simply a place to park my 37‘ RV at a reasonable price. There was easy access, good power, level sites, and the restrooms were okay. They were cleaned regularly and a sign said they were recently remodeled. I think they should have expanded the crapper stalls in the remodeling. They were a bit tight and I'm not a big person. The laundry is awesome. They rent driving CDs of the battlefield - awesome. I felt their price was a bit on the high side but I'd consider camping here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Park is very close to the battlefield and a tour van picks guests up from the RV site. Rate is cheap enough. Laundry is clean. BUT big rig sites are not level, and it is impossible to level despite using blocks. We listed sideways our 3 nights here. The big rig sites are set to get satellite TV reception which worked with our DISH. But there is no cable TV reception nor accessible local channels because of all the trees. We called ahead and were promised a site that was not available upon our arrival. They claim big rig access but the staff assigns smaller trailers and smaller motor homes into these few pull through sites. Sites need improvement and lots of gravel fill. It is pet friendly, but they do not enforce picking up dog waste because there was a pile of dog waste at the fire pit at our site. The site also had cigarette butts around, so it had not been cleaned. On future trips to this area, we would not stay here. The park is quiet enough despite the many live ins. Lots of information about the local area is available at the camp store. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for two nights, the rate includes a 10% GS discount. Overall it is a nice CG, with clean restrooms and showers, and the staff is friendly and helpful. It is an ideal CG for those who travel with horses, and may be worth the high price for that convenience. On the downside, there is no cable and slow Wi-Fi. The pads are gravel, mostly level, but our site had deep muddy ruts where we needed to walk even though there had been no rain. It is very close to Gettysburg town center. The price also included a free presentation to a diorama of the Battle of Gettysburg which was very informative. (A $3.00 pp value) If a traveled with a horse, I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Rate is for 50 amp FHU back-in site with a combination of PA and GS discounts for a week stay. Roads are combination of paved and gravel, sites gravel. This is a park in a destination locality, so park is large and seems to have grown randomly, so there is a wonderful mix of different types of sites. There are even a section for horse trailers with corrals nearby. Satellite reception depends on you location in park, excellent Verizon cell and 3G. Park has Wi-Fi, but appears to be undersized for the users, as speeds are slow to very slow. Park has many activities, including horse tours of the National Park. A very convenient location for spending time in Gettysburg as it is very close the Battlefield Visitor Center. Good value of the money with the discounts, and we would stay here again if in the area.

Our rate reflects Halloween/Holiday weekend pricing for full hookup site. We were in the back near the horse corrals. VERY quiet and great camping. They have certainly expanded since we were here 3 years ago. Plenty to do. We camped without our kids but have decided to bring them next October. We went on a 2 hour guided horseback tour of the battlefield that departs from the National Stables on the campground property. My husband is a civil war history buff so we have been to G'burg many times. He said the tour was basic. We thought it was a great vantage point to see the battlefield. We will return as we have no complaints. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for two nights using Passport America giving us 1/2 price, so $25 per night rather than $50, which would have been steep for this park. Internet was a bit slow, but worked okay late at night and early morning before others got on, I believe. Fairly level site, 50 amp. They were nice enough to ask us if we would like a site that we could get satellite and it was wide open. Quite place. Lots of room to maneuver and park a 45 foot coach and toad. Very convenient to the National Park Visitor Center and to town. They had CD's for sale and rent to do the auto tour of the battlefields. Beats the bus tour price and go at your own pace. Would recommend this place for a few nights to do what there is to do and see in Gettysburg. It was perfect for us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Price reflects a 10% Good Sam discount. Nothing fancy here. Gravel roads and small sites. The only thing that sustains the high price is the location. Wi-Fi was bad and the Verizon reception was very weak. Office employees are constantly on the phone. Expect to wait a few minutes until one of them can get a minute free. Liked Gettysburg, but not so high on this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very close to Gettysburg National Park and attractions. This is an older park and some facilities could be updated but were clean overall. They specialize in horse tours of the NP and have stabling available for people who choose to bring their own horses. They rent audio tour CD's for the battlefield for $5; very reasonable and convenient. Sites were adequate size, shady and our site was perfectly level. There are tent sites and seasonal sites, and all the campers we met were friendly. Dogs are welcome. We stayed several nights,and would not hesitate to stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground appeared a bit dated, but was certainly adequate. If I were king for a day, my first priority would be to update the bath houses. Otherwise, we had no issues with campground. Of particular note was the friendliness of the staff. They have the patience of Job. We are new campers and require a little more hand holding than most. We had a two-hour horse ride reserved, but given the heat conditions, we decided to switch to a one-hour ride. Our request was handled cheerfully by the staff. If you stay here and don't do a horse ride, you are missing out. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The rate reflects Passport America. This campground needs a lot of updating. I can't say for sure but I believe Passport America clients are placed in what I would call the 'low rent district.' I know we were. There are a number of permanent residents. Some are nice, others look like dirty run down junkyards. Our site was not level (#93) and we were given a spot near the horse stalls with all its lovely aromas complete with flies! They mucked the stalls at dinner time and ran the truck right in front of the sites: where others were bbq-ing their dinners! YUM! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The rate quoted is the Passport America rate. This is a good family park. Decent playground and swimming pool. On a Sunday afternoon our power went out. We asked surrounding campers but they had no problem. The electric would attempt to come on but our surge protector would immediately shut it down again. We were on 50 amp. We changed to the 30 amp outlet and had no issue. We notifed office and only a few minutes later a gentleman showed up. He said they would contact the electrician. Sure enough, at 9 am Monday the electrician was at our site. He worked on the 50 amp and we soon were set to go! The response to this issue was more than satisfactory. The laundry was clean and reasonably priced. We stayed here before years ago, would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We just returned from a four night stay at Artillery Ridge Campground. Overall the park is older and is need of a facelift; however, as a group we had a pleasant time while staying there. Our site was fairly level and there were a number of shaded sites. The big draw for this park is horse owners. The park allows you to bring your own horse in, stable it, and ride it through the battlefield (I'm guessing). The campground is conveniently located near the downtown area which was ideal. Additionally, the park offered horseback battlefield tours which we did take part in. The horseback tours are one hour or two hours depending on your preference. When we first arrived at the park I was a little disappointed by its appearance; however, everyone was friendly and made our stay enjoyable. We likely wouldn't stay there again simply because we would opt to try one of the other parks in Gettysburg. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

No cable TV and only three antenna stations (NBC, Fox, and PBS). No noise from planes, trains, or the highway. The bathrooms are old and appear clean, except that I noticed the same waste residue in a toilet bowl for the first five days we were here, which raises a question about how frequently they are cleaned.

We ended up staying here at the last minute because the campground where we had reservations was flooded by severe storms. We were glad that they were able to accommodate us on short notice. The office staff was helpful and directed us to a nearby RV parts center for some needed supplies. They were also willing to let us change our site if we wished. This was a very convenient campground for visiting Gettysburg Visitor Center and Battlefield.

Rate reflects Passport America rate. Stopped here for 2 nights on our way south. Laundry is clean; ditto for restrooms. Seems like there would be plenty of activities in season. Horseback rides through the battlefield would be tops. You can even bring your own horse as they have stalls available. A little difficult to get level on our lot, and it didn't appear that others around us were very level either. A little grading would help this. Very well stocked store, especially for so late in the season. We would recommend this to others. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The 76-Artillery Ridge is so close to the actual battlefield you can walk to it (in the area of Little Roundtop) or take one of the horseback tours of the battlefield, that the campground has available. The campground is clean, safe, and has a good staff who are willing to help out when possible. We had heavy rains during our stay and the campground had numerous deep puddles, but given the amount of rain, that was expected and drained rapidly. All in all, a good place to stay while visiting Gettysburg. The charges reflects a Passport America rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Although this is an older park, we love it. The spaces are large and well laid out. The office staff are very efficient and friendly. The laundry is very efficient and low cost. The best part is that the battlefields are across the road and my husband loves to walk our dog through history. The town is just down the road. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We looked at a seasonal suite at this campground and we were disgusted when we saw car parts under some campers and truck parts around others. We went to the office and told them what we saw and they did not seem to care they told us that the guy on the worst suite has been there a long time and they could ask him to clean it up the next time he was in town. It reminds you of the neighbor you wish would move not where you would wasn't to spend weekends. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for five days beginning July 26, 2010 so rate reflects Passport America discount. Sites are all gravel/grass and fairly level but some are not "easy in / easy out" for motorhomes. There are numerous gravel speed bumps throughout the park that are built dangerously high for low riding RVs. Had no problems with stable odor but didn't appreciate the fact that private owners are allowed to ride their horses through campground, (unsanitary). On the other hand the store was well stocked, and the gals at the front desk were extremely helpful. Very close to the battlefield and other attractions. We would come back but would request a more level site and also question riding horses in the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have mixed emotions about this park. It's definitely close to town, however, it would be quite a hike if the weather is hot like it was when we were here. Staff is friendly, however, they didn't listen very well when we made reservations and we had to move 3 times before getting a site that would allow our satellite to work or wasn't 30 amp or near the horses. Park is old with quite a few long-term residents but still relatively neat and clean. They honor PA during the week but not on weekends and the above rate reflects PA. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Best location around, you are close to everything. The campground is run down and the office staff surly, so this put a damper on my vacation on arrival. The horse tour offered was too expensive for what you get, the battlefield locations on horseback have nothing to do with the overall civil war oration by the guide, very disappointing. If in Gettysburg I would stay here again for the location, just don't expect too much. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was a kind of funky, older park but it was just a few yards away from the new Gettysburg Visitor's Center. We found that to be very nice. Our site was a pull thru and there was room for our 35' rig, but just barely. There are some other sites, out in the open, which could accommodate larger rigs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The little park store was pretty small. There was a section with permanents that left a lot to be desired and the little lake was kind of sad. There were horses for rent in this park but we never took advantage of that. Apparently they will take you over the battle field on the horses. We just appreciated the parks' central location and would return again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The rate shown was with 50% Campclub USA discount, I would not have wanted to pay 72$! It looks like we were overcharged and I am writing to them, website says rate is 48$ for full hookup, so we should only have paid 24$. We had a pull-thru site which was level enough. The campground is quite large and the horses are well out of the way if you do not like them! The location is great for visiting Gettysburg and the battlefield. Pool looked nice but did not use.

The rate I gave was with discounts. This is a unique park in that there are stables on the grounds and you can camp with your horses as many people did over the weekend. It is also almost in Gettysburg and you can take a trail ride from the park through the battlefield. That said, we found the desk staff to be uncaring. The sites are very unlevel and don't really have more than a little bit of a gravel pad. We had made reservations more than a month in advance and yet received the two worst sites in the park. To level the motorhome we had to have the front wheels off the ground. We went to the office to ask about changing sites since there were plenty of empty sites and we were told that they would be full later on in the week, so they wre leaving them empty! We didn't accept that answer and we were moved. We talked to other people who accepted that answer and workers brought them boards to drive up on to level so their wheels wouldn't be off the ground. I'm glad I had DirecTV because our friends got one channel on the TV. The location was convenient, but there are nicer parks in the area if you don't have horses. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate shown Passport America discount. Sites are gravel back-in and not level. Table provided needed refinishing. Check-in was smooth and the office staff were friendly and informative. Our paid campsite fee allowed us free admission into the Gettysburg diorama located at the Gettysburg History Center. No cable TV and most channels off the air were weak signals with intermittent service. WiFi connection was strong, but Skype phone signal broke up, probably due to bandwidth problems from the internet service provider. There are riding stables at this campground.

The quoted rate reflects a CCUSA 50% discount. We were provided a discount for a nearby buffet style restaurant and a complimentary visit to a battleground diorama. The diorama was on-site at the campground at one time, but has been relocated in town. We liked being in such close proximity to the battlefield since that was the purpose of our visit. The gravel site was a bit tricky for leveling at first, but we shifted our rig a bit and found a level spot that required no blocks. All the hookups worked fine and we found the facilities to be in good order. We would stay at this campground again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We loved this park. It is a Passport America and Camp Club USA park, so we paid only $23 per night rather than the regular rate of $46. We were put in the back of the park because we are a big rig. We had a pull through site with a gravel pad. This section has newer electrical and excellent water pressure. The staff was extremely helpful. The only downside was that walking in the park was a little tricky. Bordering the gravel pads are rocks about the size of plums. Also, there are horse prints in the dirt that makes it a little difficult to walk around the rig without turning an ankle. If you take it slow it's no problem. Also, the site sits a little high, so the first step into the rig is a big step unless you carry another step with you. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nice little campground to base your explorations of Gettysburg from. It is only a mile to the visitor center and less than that to some points of the battlefield. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The site was ready when we arrived. It was a pretty quiet atmosphere to spend the evening after touring the battlefield. The sites are not huge but fair. We lucked out by not having a neighbor on our camping side the whole time which made it seem really big. The little fishing lake was entertaining for the kids and the game room had plenty of machines though they were very dated. I recognized a couple from my high school years in the early 80's. But the kids liked them anyway. Do not take 30 from the west into Gettysburg if you don't like 7% grades, and lot's of 'em. I came that way due to the GPS directions and we were fine with our jake brake on our diesel but I'd worry without it. We would stay here again with no problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great campground to tour the battlefield. Close to everything of interest. Our site was a nice, roomy pull-thru but light post directly behind us was very bright during the night! Quite crowded during our stay since it was the anniversary of the battle but everyone was nice and helpful. Stayed for 2 nights but would have liked to stay longer. Unfortunately they were completely booked so we could not extend our stay. Did not use facilities except for the laundry. The washer I used did not spin out and I had to hand wring all my clothes, bummer! Otherwise fine. Riding stables on premises a plus for those of us who love horses (we don't mind the smell) and free access to the diorama definitely a plus! Rate shown reflects Camp Club Discount.

We stayed here over the July 4th weekend, with our primary focus being on touring the battlefields. This campground is so close to the attractions that one could easily walk or bike to them. The campground itself is an older one and could use some updating, but overall was very spacious for a private facility, and there were plenty of activities. We stayed in the back of the campground, near the primitive sites, and our boys had plenty of room to play and ride bikes. The pros of this place include swimming pool, relatively flat sites, close proximity to town, and cleanliness. The cons include gravel roads and older bathhouses. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our site had water and electric, but the owners had a device on their tractor that would pump your water lines from the camper, which was very convenient. When we return to Gettysburg, we will stay here without hesitation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate reflects 2 nights at Passport America rate and 2 nights of weekend without PPA. This is an older park. I agree with previous poster; the park could use some updating. They also have a large tent area, and it appears there are many long term residents. Our site was fine. It was in an open area, fairly level, where our satellite worked great. The real positive for this park is it's right near the Gettysburg Battlefield and the new Visitors center and close to the town of Gettysburg. The Diorama they have at the park and offer campers for free is a treat. I wouldn't hesitate to return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The past reviewers have summed this up pretty good, but here is an update. The sites are close, but I have had much, much closer. At least I was able to put my awnings out and still had a little room left over. This is a great place to jump off to other adventures in the Gettysburg area. If you have come here to find a "destination," campground, then this is the wrong place. It is a campground to stay and venture out. You cannot go wrong with all that there is to seen in this area. The campground is one half mile from the visitor's center of the Gettysburg National Park. It is a must see, and take the self guided auto tour, as it give you your own time to spend at each of the many monuments. The Diorama at the campground is free to campers. It is a must see before you tour the area. We purchased the movie, "Gettysburg," and were glad we had taken in the Diorama before viewing the 4 hour movie. Yes, the sites are not level and it would be not much of a problem to have someone with knowledge of heavy equipment to make them level. They could also use some more crushed rock in some areas. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I had the same question about satellite asked of me for motor home placement. Very thoughtful of them. We would stay here again.

Gettysburg, Artillery Ridge Campground – I think it is expensive but it has tons of activities and it was Memorial Weekend. Artillery Ridge Campground located less than half a mile from the battlefield is quite different than the type of campgrounds we usually camp at. They have tons of sites and everyone is on top of everyone else. It was Memorial Weekend and we had booked four days. There are some good points about the park – horseback rides onto the battlefield, swimming pool, playgrounds, hookups, laundry, Wi-Fi hotspot, covered horse stalls to bring your own horse, cabins. Very friendly at check in. Bathrooms were ok! We are used to dry camping in the woods and having campsites with lots of room and privacy so this was quite a change from what we have been camping at, but we knew before we came it was going to be crowded. I will say even with the activities they had that weekend and all the people it was not noisy at night, and our neighbors were very considerate and polite. We camped here to ride our bikes to the battlefield and visitor center which we did. Also stopped at Boyds Bear which is in the Gettysburg area – what an amazing store. We stayed an extra day before heading back home and what a difference this campground is after many campers went home on Memorial Day. It was not bumper to bumper and was quite enjoyable! We would go back! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Price reflects Passport American discount. Staff is friendly and helpful; they asked when I was reserving if I had a satellite so they could put us in a site with good sat reception. Park is more rustic and older, but well kept. Good electric and water. No cable. Wi-fi is strong, but very slow at times. Very convenient to historic sites. Cons: sites are not very level, gravel, somewhat mushy and will test your leveling skills a bit. If you don't like the smell of horses, this may not be the place for you. You will smell them if the wind goes in the right direction. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Bathrooms were dated and well used, but clean. Campground is right across the street from the Battlefield, but you have to go down the road to get into the Battlefield.

We stayed here 8 nights and we chose to camp here because and it is the closest to the battlefield. Staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions and accepted both my Good Sam and Camper USA discount cards (my nightly rate includes the extra charge for the two other adults that were with us). There was a nightly movie but we did not attend and an ice cream social on the Saturday we arrived. We did not use the pool, but it appeared well maintained. The bath houses could be updated but were clean. The laundry room had washer and dryers on the new side, no change machine in the laundry area though, if you will need change, must go to camp store. Wi-Fi was great and Free and they were installing more antennas for those sites that were having problems getting a good connection. It was a quiet and relaxing campground with a catch and release pond. The camp store was basic, but had the connector that we needed for our sewer hoses and much lower cost than my camping supply store at home... I would recommend seeing the Diorama (free as a camper) before touring the battlefield if you know little about the battle of Gettysburg.

We were excited to camp here because it had the stables on the property and it is the closest to the battlefields. My children aged 6, 4 & 2 LOVED the playground and riding bikes. There was a nightly movie but we did not attend. It was a bit cooler (thankfully) the 3 days we camped here so we did not use the pool. It looked well cared for and newer than many other amenities. The bath houses could be updated but must be kept cleaner. Wi-Fi was great but our site(78) was close to the camp store. It was a very quiet campground. Very basic. The only real downer for us was when we made our reservation, we wanted two sites (we camped with another family) next to each other. We were told the sites we were assigned would allow us to open up to each other. Due to the location of hookups (2 sites shared a common pole/hookup area) we could only do that if we were OK with our kids tripping over wires and hoses (we were not). The ladies in the store were terrific in letting us move anywhere else in the camp. We opted not to, since we were across the road from the bath house & playground. We will stay again- this Fall.

This is a good campground, great as a base for exploring Gettysburg Battlefield. A lot of pull through sites, and our pull through site had brand new hookups. Sites are tight. Access to campground and site is great, even with bigger rigs. Bathrooms / showers were clean, roomy, and free (no charge for shower). Basketball court looked to be brand new, gameroom was good, pool was clean. The campground might be considered a little rustic, but the overall experience more than makes up for it. A very quiet campground!! In talking to other campers who had been there before, they said that is normal. We thought it was neat to be able to bike ride around the stables and corrals, watching all the horses and riders. The "trail ride" that the campground offers into the battlefield is fun -- note that on the one hour ride, the guide does not tell about the history of the battlefield, on the two hour ride the guide give historical background. The Battlefield diorama at the campground is very much worth checking out, and it is free for campers. We watched the diorama show just before touring the battlefield, that worked out well for us. Staff at camp office were Great! Very helpful, know all about the battlefield and what to see (and how to get to everything). Camp store is not huge but has pretty much everything you might need for camping, plus snacks and gifts. Other campers and seasonals were also great. Everyone we met was outgoing and cheerful.

If you like history this is a great location. You are actually on/near the battle field. The park is diverse with areas for tents, horses, horse paddocks, cabins, and seasonal guests. We had an unseasonably hot stay, and found our shadeless location extremely warm in the late afternoons, but by 9 pm we could actually turn the AC off and open the windows. This park is very near the new and exciting visitors center which was so interesting (plus lots of air conditioning) we forgot the heat of the day. Our gravel site was very level with easy hook ups, but we found the ground too hard to anchor our awning which is vital during the heat of the day. The bathroom was very close, but extremely warm as the day went by. Wonderful laundry room with new equipment. On the backside of the bathrooms is a sink with running water for primitive camping to use. Large park with plenty of walking for people and pets. There is a catch and release pond with a small flock of ducks. There is a horseshoe and volleyball court with good playground for the kids. We learned to tour the battle fields by mornings and spend time in the visitors center in the heat of the day. If traveling with pets, please check the weather as the coolest we got the RV was mid 80's during the day. We rented horses from the park, as nearby there are horse trail on the battlefield.

Entrance road is paved but interior roads are fair/poor gravel. Our site was in a section that recently had the utilities upgraded. It looks like a small number of sites will have leveling issues although ours was level. The site parking areas are graveled, sites are grass but have bare spots that will be muddy in the rain.

We used passport america discount. We spent three days in town and on the battlefield and did not see it all. We will go back and will use this campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We got one of the five pull-thru sites which was level. WiFi was good, but kept getting kicked off about every 30 minutes. Front entrance sure needs some work to fill up the potholes. Very close to the battlefield and the historic town. We would be happy to stay there again only if we could get one of those 5 sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a large campground with several different camping areas. Because we did not have a reservation and large pull-through sites were taken, we were in the horse camp which has horse facilities. Area was very quiet and horses were no problem. They offer horse tours into the Gettysburg Battlefield. They have a Gettysburg Battlefield Diorama which is free for campers. Sites are not very level and interior roads are in poor condition. Only 1 mile to Gettysburg Battlefield Visitors Center. Had full hookups with 50 amp with Passport America rate of $21 (Sun - Thurs). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We loved the horseback tour, even though it is very pricey. The campground itself is very nice and the playground is awesome. The staff was very helpful and we enjoyed the diorama. We learned so much! Although I didn't care for our particular site, we will go back. The sites are VERY small, so that is what kept me from rating it a 10. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

If you like horses then this is the place for you. Horse back tours of the Gettysburg battle field are available and your own stall if you wish. We were there during the re-enactment so it may have been more crowed than normal. We were there to see Gettysburg and not the park so our site and the roads in were the most important to us. Our site was down by the horse stables but that was not unacceptable to us since we are from that kind of country anyway. However the site was new and very unlevel. The interior roads are very rough. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the closest campground to the Gettysburg Battlefield Visitor Center. We stayed for three extra days due to repairs being needed on our MH and towed vehicle. They were very accommodating when we asked to extend our stay. Campground includes a riding stable which takes people through the battlefield on horseback. Campground was not very full. Entrance needed to be graded as it had some large potholes. They had a n ice cream social one night, a DJ the next night with dancing. If you are not too tired after touring the battlefield, you can join in. Could not get a site with satellite access so had to go with antenna. Reception not all that great. All in all, it was a good place. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here through Passport America for which we got only 1 night half-price because it was not good on Friday or Saturday. This camp has an area where you can bring in your own horse to ride around the battlefield. We were parked in this area because of our need for access to satellite and found it to be interesting and a lot of fun to watch. No problem with horse plops in the camping area. This camp has a wonderful diorama of the battle which is free to registered campers. The physical grounds are rustic with a ranch-style feel. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a Passport America Park and our price reflects the Passport discount. We stayed here for four days and found it to be a decent campground. The horses do not roam the campground, so 90% of the sites are not bothered by horse droppings. Most of the sites are pretty well shaded with large trees, but there is a lot (6 pull-through sites) that has no trees where we were able to get satellite reception. It rained almost every day, so there were many pools of standing water on our site. The office has a good selection of supplies, as well as gifts. Overall, we were comfortable here and will probably return in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sorry a year late! I've stayed here twice. CG is the closest to the battlefield and as the name implies, Union cannons actually were stationed here. The Gettysburg Battlefield Diorama (on the CG site) was surprisingly great and well done. Sites and roads were gravel but well maintained when we were here. As far as horse manure mentioned by the above reviewer, YES! It's everywhere, but like the other reviewer said, it is a National Riding Stable and caters to those with horses. Battlefield Horse Tours also leave from here. Kind of like complaining of sand when you camp at the beach. Reminds you to do your homework before pulling into a CG. I didn't mind the horses or their waste for that matter, and I'm not a horse person. It's just a great CG for those who want to be close to the battlefield. It's not a resort like other CG's in the Gettysburg area but does it job nicely. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

There are both positive and negative reviews above us. We thought the campground was very nice. It was nice to look at the horses and camp near them. We are not horse people but the view was different and nice. We found our site to be very nice but kind of narrow. We have enjoyed our stay even with the horse manure. It is a National Riding Stable for the National Park so you will have horses walking through the CG while you are here. We thought this added to the CG not detracted from it. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place is very poor at best. The sites were bad, roads were bad, and looks like a horse farm that RV's park close to. Our site had horse manure all round our motorhome, nice to look at. No sewer hookup was not a problem, we left park next day. The place is very run down. We camped here in a camper.

This is an over priced park for the quality. Roads are not paved and we had to drive to the very back of the park on a dusty gravel road. There are very few level sites if you have a larger coach. My rig and car was clean before I drove in and now looks like it hasn't been washed in months. This is rated 5 stars in Woodall's and to me it would be a 1 or 2 star. The only plus is it does have Wi-Fi that seems to work. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have never stopped in this part of the country but decided to visit the battlefields. I want to say 1st I want to rate the campground and then address my problem with their pricing. It is definitely an older CG. No cable TV and not much on the antenna. We had a pull through site which was not that level. Utilities were good and in the right location. It is not a Sat. friendly park as mentioned before it is an older CG with older trees which do grow if not trimmed.It is one of the top rated CG's in the area. Maybe as compared to others in the area it is, but we have traveled the country and feel it is not that good. Now as for the pricing. We used our PPA card. The posted rate is 29.00. Which would be a fair price for this type of CG. What I found out is they then charge a 20.00 a day charge for electric, sewer, and water. Then throw in some local taxes and they have successfully inflated the price and then use the passport discount. Remember the posted rate is 29.00 and we paid 26.00. Don't worry we will not be stopping again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed at this campground many times before. Although I enjoyed my stay, I wasn't quite as impressed this time around. The rate has increased, but they don't seem to be putting as much work into the campground. Our site was terribly unlevel and the grass on some of the sites were almost knee high before they took care of it. Very empty when we were here. Utilities including 60 channel cable worked well. Got Wi-Fi for three of the six days, as it was quite expensive. (Should be free with the high daily rate.) The Wi-Fi was very good, however. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We'd return again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Despite reading terrible reviews about this campground, our visit here was pleasant. Good stuff, large roomy sites, bathhouse close by, hook ups fine, quiet where we were, check in fast as we made advance reservations and came midweek, plenty of dog walking areas. Now the bad stuff. The site was out of level by 4 inches side to side, road to site narrow and tree lined, tricky with bigger rig. Another dumpster needed for area near check in, the entire cost of site deducted when reservation was made three months ago. WiFi charges outrageous at $6.99 per night (bring your air card). Check in at busy times was a disaster for those that came for the weekend. To check in rigs have to pull in to register and then circle around across incoming traffic to get to their sites. Entertainment for us watching, not so good for those caught in the jam up. We will return because we avoided most of the bad stuff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had a great coupon so that is why we picked Drummer Boy. Rate noted is stated on their fee list. There is highway noise, but it didn't bother us. We were in sites 48 and 48a. Sites were level and big. Not happy with the uphill sewer hookup in 48. Seems everything is a bit over priced. Ice cream stand was a joke. No sundaes because of no soft ice cream or syrup, no milkshake because they had no milk. 2 types of freezer burnt ice cream and stale cones is what they had. The staff gets a 50/50 vote from us. The maintenance guys seemed friendlier than the office staff. There was 1 girl in the office that seemed it wasn't a bother for her to wait on us. The most bothersome part of the 4 night trip concerned 3 of the kids in our group. They bought light up necklaces in the store. Well, after 5 minutes, none of them worked. Took them back and were rudely told that all we can do is buy new ones. Other than that, no major issues. Cable TV is great, Wi-Fi is way overpriced, $6 per day. Won't say we won't return here, but we will look at other cg's in the area first We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our first site was a little small and had the picnic table right next to the road. We were moved to the next site and it was perfect. We rented a golf cart for our stay because the park was so big and it was nice to see how well the seasonal sites were maintained. The hot water was not turned on in the closest bath house to us; I guess it was early in the season. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Price seems high and you have to pay extra for the pool slide. They do have arm bands but seem a little expensive. The mini golf needs some work too. The playgrounds are in desperate need of repair and new ones would be nice. They just don't seem to care anymore. Very large campground which it seems they can't keep up with it. Most staff members are pleasant. Most sites are nice and big but if you go in the early spring or fall be ready to see and hear the highway. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very large, family-oriented CG. The rate quoted was based on a week stay. The roads and sites are gravel and are reasonably large and fairly level. We had a very large back-in site and had no problems getting into it. We were here for a Halloween weekend in October and it was an excellently run activity with more than 150 children participating. There is free cable TV, but the Wi-Fi is fairly costly. We were able to get satellite TV reception, but many sites will be too shaded. Some sites are close enough to the highway to get a fair amount of road noise, but the CG management made us aware of that upfront. With the windows closed because of the cool weather the noise wasn't an issue. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We come to Drummer Boy for its close proximity to our home when we just need a quick weekend getaway and we love the Gettysburg area. We've been coming here for several years and have watched the park transform over the years. It's a nice park although a bit pricey but that's typical for today's "RV Resorts" however to charge extra for Wi-Fi and the water slide is a bit annoying. The park is clean and the seasonals, I must say from the many parks we've been to up and down the East coast keep their sites VERY nice. The sites are level and drain well when it does rain. Some of the premium sites in the back, in my opinion, are beginning to become a bit overgrown and need some grooming at this point. It's a nice park to walk around which we love to do with our dog. The park is close to a lot of Gettysburg attractions as well. Overall, a lovely campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Drummer Boy is one of the best campgrounds we've stayed in yet. It is huge, but the way it is laid out it doesn't feel so huge. It is shady, the sites are very spacious, and the campground is clean as a pin. The laundry rooms have enough washers and dryers to accommodate your needs and they are reasonably priced. We arrived after hours, but the office manager met me at the door and gave me directions to my site and even opened the store for me to look for some supplies. It is one of the friendliest office staffs I've encountered, which is surprising since I'm from the South and you don't hear so much about northern hospitality. There is a lot to do here for the kids and it is a very relaxing atmosphere for the adults. It is easy to find and access and is near everything you would want to see and do in Gettysburg. We had to do a little bit of leveling, but nothing terrible. I've read the reviews about dust from the gravel drives and being nickeled and dimed. My response to the dust: it's a campground, what do you expect? My response to being nickeled and dimed: There's plenty to do here without spending an extra dime, and one of the pools is included. The Wi-Fi is extra, but we have a Verizon Mi-Fi and it works very well here, so we didn't need the Wi-Fi. In summary, you won't be disappointed if you choose Drummer Boy. It is very nice and very big rig friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park with a great location. Located right off Hwy 15, this is a large park that's about a 10 minute drive from the downtown and the national park areas. The park was busy during our stay but even with that many people there it didn't feel crowded. There's a pretty good amount of seasonal and long term campers in the park. Many of the sites appear to be a bit sloped making it a challenge to level your rig (our coach uses airbags instead of jacks), however we didn't have any problems. Good elbow room around the sites. There's a lot of gravel in this park (most of the roads and sites) making it a bit dusty, however having stayed here during a torrential downpour the park drained quickly with very little erosion. Nice place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a HUGE campground, and we were in the very back, which made getting to any of the few kids' activities or pools a very long walk. The sites in that back area are more open than those in the front where the seasonal folks are mostly set up. There are many seasonals, but they are very neat and clean. The pool with the slide is very nice for young children, but it is small and the slide costs $10 for a wristband! Not worth it! There were many planned activities, but really not many for children, which surprised us. There is a mini-golf course, but again, you get charged too much to play. Riding bikes was nearly impossible on the gravel roads, and the dust kicked up by vehicles lays thick on everything. I can't see the allure of this campground except the proximity to Gettysburg. If you could stay somewhere else for much less, I would. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Very nice resort-type campground. Sites were tiered and private. Pools were nice and staff was helpful. The Cable TV didn't work at our site, so we had to plug in to the next site. Comcast never showed up to fix it (they lock the pedestals to keep campground staff from trying to fix it). Highway noise is minimal. Wi-Fi works well, but it isn't free so I expect it to.

The good: Easy on and off the highway and convenient to the attractions. The bathrooms are private and nicer than most we have seen as well as clean. 50 amp full hook-up is common. Cable is provided and there are many pull throughs that can accommodate a big rig. Wi-Fi available but not included in the price. Gravel sites and roads that are wide so turns are no problem. The Bad: Too expensive, the price here represents a weekly rate which is cheaper than by the night. The premium pull-through sites were long but narrow. Not enough room to set up chairs outside without a steep drop-off. Our site was terribly un-level in all directions. Some of the other sites looked more level than ours was. The sites have an un-kept look. Weeds everywhere and appears no one mows or weed-eats. It looks like they spend their money on the pools, etc. instead of spending any time maintaining the actual camp-sites. The priority at this park is having things for kids like the water slide, etc. The roads are really dusty and there is a lot of golf-cart and car traffic. This covers your rig with dust. We heard golf-carts driving around well after midnight. You can hear the noise from highway 15, 24 hours per day. So, if you want a level site and any form of peace and quiet, don't stay here. In conclusion, we drove to all of the other RV parks in Gettysburg and this is the nicest and most accessible park in the area. However, we will definitely not stay here or at any park in town again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is very LARGE. It was over a mile from the office to our site. Lots of highway noise from the 15. Store, arcade and pool hours are rather short. It seems rather silly to pay $10 for a pool with one water slide and short hours. The camp store was expensive (wood was $7.00 for 7 pieces). The staff could not recommend a location for two RV groups camping together. The site was mostly rocks with no grass. The campground was close to Gettysburg but had minimal activities at the campground. Some of the sites were uneven (sewer line went slightly uphill).

We stayed here during the July 4th holiday weekend. My views on this campground are mixed. The pros to this campground include close proximity to the battlefields, nice swimming pools, plenty of space between sites, and a well-stocked camp store. The cons included gravel roads and sites, smelly bath house (I actually gagged a few times), poison ivy throughout the campground, and high fees for extras. Although we camped with four children, we never used the water slide because I thought it wasn't worth the $10 per person per day charge. We used the "free" pool and it was fine. The bath house near our campsite was horrible: it smelled terribly and the water pressure coming out the shower was so slow that it took a very long time to rinse my hair. We will not return here, it's just not worth it. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a large campground. We stayed in site 55. It was a very nice wooded site over by the highway. Some highway noise but we did not mind it. Golf cart rental is $60 a day on the weekend, which you'll need one if you stay over by the office and plan on enjoying the waterpark area (quite a hike). Staff was very friendly. We would have granted this park a 10, if this campground had free WiFi and cheaper Golf Cart rentals as well as earlier hours for the swimming pools. Pools do not open until 10:30am (front pool) and 12:00pm (waterslide pool). We will return and stay in site 55 again. Had a great time! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Decent sites, but very noisy due to the fact that a major highway runs parallel to the entire campground. The noise of tractor trailers, etc. can be very irritating especially during what should be quiet times at night. Also, there is a general lack of security, anyone can drive around the entire campground without being required to check at the registration office, which closes before 8pm. The price of firewood is too much, $7.00 for a small bundle. Many camp-sites have a strong odor of septic and there are about a dozen large holding tanks for septic waste but even with that we saw several areas where the ground was wet and very smelly, despite the fact it was hot and dry. I would recommend choosing a site far away from the highway although the noise will still be noticeable. The overall value for a campsite is average for the area but there are extra charges for amenities such as mini-golf, not recommended at all and for the water slide. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites were fairly level, and easy to park our rig and toad. The park was not very tidy and appeared to have most sites rented to seasonal folks.

Have your wallet ready when you stay here; the site fee only covers the site. We arrived 2 hours before the check in time and we had to pay an extra $25 to check in even though our site was available and the park was far from full. When we called for the reservation we were not told the check in time or that there was a charge to check in early. The sites in the front of the park are off of paved roads but the pull through sites where our site was was down an unpaved gravel road. This was not easy to maneuver with our motorhome with a tow vehicle. At each dumpster site they had two dumpsters, one was locked so the overflow from the open one was left on the ground. This place is no 'RESORT". We camped here in a Motorhome.

This Resort used to be a lot nicer but it is still okay. The Wi-Fi that they have there is horrendous at best for $6.00 for 24 hours and it doesn't work the majority of the time. The staff was very courteous and friendly. We were in the 300 sites and we had no problem with highway noise but really what can the Resort do about highway noise anyway? The only true downfall with this Resort now is they seem to nickel and dime you for every little thing. Water slide and Wi-Fi among other things. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground has alot to offer: however you will pay for it. I was told when I made reservations over the phone, if I did not care for our site we could change it when we arrived. The first site was out in the open, close to the highway noise and in the center. When I requested to change I was told there was a $10 fee: not what I was told on the phone. When I questioned this, the front desk person told me sorry it is a $10 fee!! Strike one! The resort has a great pool with a slide in the back: $10 a person to use the slide. What?? Unfortunately we found this out when we where ready to go down it. We had to go to the front and purchase it. I was informed this was non-refundable. No kidding?! Internet access was $6 a day. We where here all of 20 minutes and had already dropped $25 dollars besides the cost of the site. Over all I was disappointed as the campground boasts of their status as being one of the premier campgrounds in PA. I wouldn't say it was top notch. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park would have been good for one or two days. All sites were dirt or gravel and the roads are narrow. There are too many rented golf carts running up and down the roads at all hours raising dust clouds. For the price WIFI should have been included and not an extra charge. On our next trip to Gettysburg, we will definitely cross Drummer Boy off of our list of places to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is our sixth visit in 5 years. This used to be one of my top three campgrounds but since it changed hands to a corporate entity a couple years ago, that may no longer be the case. We have stayed here for 5 years now and asked for a shady site. We were told on the phone our site was one of only two left and it was one of the "premium" sites ($51 per night). The site was the farthest from "premium" that I have ever seen. It comes with it's own pond when it rains! I thought my mat and chairs were going to float away at one point. The pine trees are nothing more than scrub brush that leave a greenish slime on the ground and seem to be shedding needles all over the place. They should be cleared to allow the maple trees to thrive. We were located right across from the maintenance shed with lots of golf cart and tractor traffic in and out. I guess this place doesn't hire workcampers any more because most of the staff is younger. What a shame as the workcampers were always so friendly and helpful. These young workers like to do stunts on their golf carts and certainly don't subscribe to the 5 MPH or 10 MPH posted speed limits. We tried to get some ice cream but the snack shop apparently isn't open on Monday or Tuesday. Overall, it seems this place has lost it's charm. I wish they would at least treat their repeat customers better. They seem to want to favor the seasonals now. We did try the Gettyburg Campground a year or two ago. It seemed nice but didn't compare to what Drummer Boy once was. We will take a couple hours to drive around to the other campgrounds and check them out. We need something new. I'll be sure to leave similar comments with the front office in hopes they'll care. You can tell they have cut back here and it has affected the quality of this campground, all for the almighty, maximum profit dollar. I can't help but wonder if all the profit is going to a select few at the top of the corporate ladder. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This place nickels and dimes. For example: Show up early? Extra. Wifi? Extra. Water slide advertised as part of the family draw? Extra. Mini golf? Extra. Golf carts? More than renting a car. Staff?

For the most part, we liked this large campground. We had a shaded gravel site, quite level, not too close to others. Lots of seasonals that had the best sites. Nice pond and waterpark. But it's very noisy! We were very close to Rt-15 and heard trucks going by all day and night. Facilities were nice and clean. We had soft ground right at the trailer steps, they put down plywood. Slowly got worse, thankful we were only here for the weekend. Would camp here again, farther back in the campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This "Resort" has gone down hill over the last 3 years. Coincidentally , the resort was taken over by new owners 3 years ago. We found that the staff was extremely rude, and when asked questions, the staff seemed like it was a problem to give you the entire answer. When I made reservations, I asked about the water slide, in relation to our campsite. They told me where it was. They did not, however, tell me that there was an additional charge of $10.00 per person, per day. The hours were limited, especially for summertime hours, and you must obtain a wristband from the main office. The office is at the other end of the park. The gift shop is a "hands off" gift shop. This I know because I witnessed the counter person telling a person to please do not touch the "toy guns ", they are for sale, not to just handle. The movie times , published on the flyer, were wrong because " the office chooses to play it earlier if they want." Then people show up at the correct movie time, and it is already 1/2 over. When asked if they can start the movie again, the staff stated that they are on a time schedule and maintenance leaves at a certain time. The movie must be over by then because maintenance has to put the movie away. This was told to me as the counter person was stopping the movie, and putting it away herself. We talked with several campers who have stayed with Drummer Boy over the last 10 to 15 years. They feel the same way. Many of them reported that this would be their last stay @ Drummer Boy.

We had a really nice time at this park. The staff was very friendly and helpful from the minute you get there. The roads were easily navigated even with my 39 ft 5th wheel. The sight was level and clean. There was a lot of activities for kids and still enough quiet to relax. We thought it was a little pricy and you had to pay for everything like wireless ect. I thought for the price they charged that should be free. I would highly recommend this camp ground and the Gettysburg area is a must for all campers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Before this place was sold, we would come here 4 to 8 times a year. However, now under new ownership, we only stay here once a year. Reason being, the staff is unprofessional and the rates are sky rocketing. Here is an example of being unprofessional, upon check-in during this stay, the manager was screaming at her employees in front of customers. There is a time and place for this sort of thing. Yet another example, is the old owners would drive around and talk to everyone. Under the new management, you don't really see anyone except in the office. Overall, this is still one of our favorite places to camp, even though they are nickel and dimming everyone. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

When I phoned for a site, I stated that I needed full hook and the employee told me they had one left; I accepted and was sent an email confirmation. We arrived at the campground and the site wasn't a full hookup and it was to small for our camper(also right next to the highway). The employees were more then willing to help me but the manager was rude, he made me feel like it was my fault; that the site I got was due to me waiting to long to book it. He was willing to give me a cottage for the price of the site but I couldn't bring my pet in the cottage. There was a last minute cancellation and we were given a prime site. We stayed here 7 years ago and let me tell you it has changed and I wouldn't return; not the same feeling as before. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We didn't have time to enjoy the fishing pond. They have a big rec center and had activities planned, which looked like fun - we didn't have time to attend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We came here because of Woodall's ad and write-up. Our site was not level, even though they told us it was a premium site and would be level. The price of the park is very high, but if you want wifi service, you must pay extra. We found that to be unacceptable. Luckily, we do have an air card so we were able to access the web and our cell phone. It was extremely noisy with our "premium" site situated one stand of trees away from the freeway. Due to the fact that we arrived on the Columbus Day weekend, all the parks in the area were busy, therefore we were unable to change campgrounds. Had we been able to do so, we would have. We definitely would not choose this campground again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent 4 weeks at the campground. We enjoyed the location because it was so close to the battlefields and town (1 mile from downtown). The campground (even though it has "resort" in the title) was a nice campground like a typical KOA with many close trees, narrow roads, and nothing but dirt pads and sites. It is nice if your goal is to get back to nature and see Gettysburg. For full-timers that still work full-time, it was a bit too rustic. They charged for the internet wi-fi ($60 per month) and our neighbor said the signal was poor we were in a "weak spot" according to the office. The laundry facility was expensive, and the water level in the washing machines was so low that you could not get your clothes clean or rinsed and there was no sign warning you about this. When we return to Gettysburg we will look at another park one less "woodsy". We had to unhook the car prior to going to our site because of the narrow roads and sharp turns even though we had a pull-through, our 38 foot motor home could not get there with the car attached.

We loved this campground. The staff was nice and courteous and went out of their way to accommodate us anyway they could. The children had a great time and enjoyed the water slide. As far as noise we were in the 300 sites and we had no problems with noise at all. The only downfall with this campground is that it's so large and you have to drive to get to the store because it was too far to walk in the 95 degree temperatures. We would definitely stay here again perhaps when our children are a little older and can appreciate the battlefield more. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We also used this campground for several years, many years ago, and it has changed - not necessarily for the better. The cost per night is one of the most expensive we have encountered outside of a true RV resort setting. The site we were first assigned was very uneven and I could not get our rig level front to back. Requested another level site - there were several available in the area - and had to pay extra for a 'premium' site. While stopping at the office to pay the extra charge, I made a comment about the uneven site that I could not use, I was told that I would normally have been charge extra for switching sites. We stayed only one night and intend to not return. I also echo others comments about the road noise from Hwy 15 and the abundance of golf carts. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was the highest priced campground that we have ever stayed at. The campground was kept clean and landscaped. It is located near the battle field and attractions. The only thing that they did not charge extra for was the pools, which are only four feet deep. There is an interstate that goes right beside of the campsites and is very loud. The staff were somewhat friendly. Golf carts are every where. And with gravel roads, the dust is bad. At $62 dollars a night, I think we will try other campgrounds in the area.

This is a very nice campground. It is far enough out, but close enough in. It is long and narrow as opposed to square like many damps, this is perhaps the only drawback. It is over a mile long! Our site was level. Each site is separated from the next by a few trees and some boulders. It was large enough to park our jeep at either end without crowding our rig. The only drawback, and it was our fault, was not checking the area schedule. We wound up visiting during Bike Week. People were OK, but the bikes are just too noisy for me. About the only other down is a $10 a day charge for the water slide. We would definitely return in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pros: VERY clean--grounds and bathrooms; nice pool; short drive to Gettysburg attractions; easy access to highway; nice activities (we participated in two); friendly staff Cons: this campground is RIGHT NEXT to a busy highway. There is not one site in the campground from which you do not hear highway traffic. this was a big detraction for us. The water at this campground is thoroughly disgusting, even when filtered. bring your own water for everything that you will be consuming. I cannot say if its the campground only, or the whole area--after the first day we bought lots & lots of bottled water and used only that. The store was nicely stocked with RV equipment but only the bare necessities for grocery items; there were no real souvenir type products for the area which was frankly surprising. we used only the pool near the main entrance. it was clean and clear but not attended by a staff person for 2 out of 3 visits. Teenagers played very --well crazy like teenagers with no regard for little children in the pool. this was not the best. and the pool, despite no staffing, had hours of 10 - 7 although it was very light till after 8 pm. teens drove golf carts very fast up & down the roadways. We will most likely try other campgrounds in this area which advertise half the price. (We spent $50 for our first night & $65/night for the next two nights) Wireless internet is available but only for an extra fee We camped here in a Motorhome.

It has 2 pools, one of which has a huge water slide that you have to pay extra to use. Gravel roads that you may rent golf carts to get around because the place is huge. They have cut down a lot of trees, which is disapointing. New cottage rentals are very nice. Some have kitchen & bathroom inside. Flat screen tvs w/ cable. They run $250 a night to $85 for the small cabins. They have putt putt, arcade room, & a small boardwalk where you can buy food & ice cream. Activities are planned for themed weeks. Overall fun place except for lots of traffic with golf carts on gravel. We camped here in a Tent.

We stayed for seven nights. When making a reservation, I was told that I was being upgraded to a seasonal site since I booked a week. Upon arrival I discovered that the site I was assigned was very, very unlevel yet all the beautiful sites around us were either level or pretty close. This is the reason I feel I was assigned this site as there is no way anyone will pay to keep a rig on this site long term. I had to virtually put the nose of my 5th wheel on the ground to get close to level. Now, with my whining out of the way, this is a very beautiful park and has all kinds of activities. The pull-thru sites in the new (blue) section are very nice and I wish we had been assigned there. There is some road noise from Highway 15, but unless you are up front by office it is not an issue. They are doing some expanding and I do not think that the waterslide is open. It is close to all Gettysburg attractions. I would camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park. Every space seems to have some privacy with trees/bushes in between each one. I have a 40' MH and never could get level. The grade was too severe front to back AND side to side. That's why this place gets a 7 from me. I asked to move (stayed for 7 days) but they only had 2 available spots and they were worse than the one I had. We can hear the road noise from Hwy 15 ( we are located at the very rear of the park), but it's not unbearable. Probably will not stay here again based on the leveling issues from poorly graded spots for 40'+ MH's. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We recently stayed at Drummerboy and have mixed views. We arrived about 1pm on our reserved day and had to pay a $10 fee on top as an "early arrival" fee. After already paying $60 per day? I've never had a $200 per night hotel charge me for arriving 2 hours early. Once we got to our site, it was apparent that there were 30-40 sites open, so we certainly weren't kicking anyone out early. You have to pay a daily fee for Wi-Fi even though that isn't mentioned until you arrive. We didn't use the pools or mini-golf, although there was a sign that said you had to purchase wristbands to use the pool. Again, I compare this to expensive hotels that do not charge guests for access to pools. Bathrooms/showers are big and clean, so that's a positive point. This is a very big campground. (Our site was #320; I think there are 370 current sites.), and you are pretty much parked on top of each other. The place is so big that most people think you need a golf cart to get from one end of the place to another. Anyone hear of walking when you are out "camping"? The deluge of golf carts lead to a near bumper car situation when trying to leave the campground due to the numerous number of kids out "cruising" in golf carts. The noise level from nearby Highway 15 drove us mad. We asked for something that was as far away from 15 as possible, and we still heard every vehicle that passed by. The reservationist was fairly rude when I asked her about refunds/cancellations. She said the full amount was to be charged at the reservation time, and I inquired about a refund if we found we didn't like the place after arriving. She scoffed and said, NO refunds after arriving. If the park is confident of their facility, why would they be worried about locking down an unhappy camper at the peak of the season? Other places nearby had cheaper prices, but we went with this campground based on previous overly cheerful (and now suspicious) ratings. If you are going to spend more time downtown and in the national park and not a lot of time scrunched up with your neighbors and dodging golf carts, then it is not too bad, but if you are looking for a relaxing "camping" experience, this Wal-mart sized campground is not it. Forgot to mention that Drummerboy is indeed going Wal-mart with some gigantic "log cabins" being wheeled in while we were there. 30 foot behemoths with fake looking "logs" slapped on the side, all dragged in on their own tandem wheeled trailer. I don't know if the tandem wheels will be removed or just covered up with more "wood." Definitely more shabby than chic and bound to tip the experience even more towards Wal-mart parking lots than anything resembling camping. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice park. Our site # was in the 300's so we were in the back by the waterslide & pool & also by Route 15. Playground is all the way out at the entrance to the park, & we had a little one along, & it was quite a hike for her. It can also be a little noisy being right next to the highway. The back sites are a little better for noise than the old part of the campground which is very noisy (site 53). Had no problem getting all slides open & awning out. Campfire rings are stationary & you can't sit all the way around them. Don't get me wrong its a decent campground & it is clean & well kept, but I just got my new info for 2008 & sites are up to $60.00 per night May through Sept. This is absolutely ridiculous. There are other places to go camping in this area that are just as nice but not as expensive. Also there is a % you get charged on top of the site fee called a "pillow tax" because you are in "Gettysburg". We camp other places in the area for a whole weekend for just a little over $60.00. We probably won't stay here anymore since the rates have gotten so out of hand. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A Beautiful campground that is immaculately clean. The sites are very large and the facilities are first class. The old owners were the nicest people in the world and will be sorely missed. The campground was sold to Diversified Investments about a year ago. Initially they struggled to maintain the same high quality of customer service the previous owners provided. However, they hired a new GM and assistant who are doing a great job of restoring it to what it once was. And Diversified isn’t shy about investing money in improvements. It remains one of my favorite campgrounds. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The pools are beautiful, but the water was cold with temperatures only in the 70s. The Comcast Cable was good with about 65 Channels. The staff were friendly enough, and the overall visual appeal of this campground is good. Golf cart rentals are also available which is nice due to the fact the campground is spread out.

We stayed here for one night to test our new unit out. It was a pretty bad experience. First the campground is like a maze. The gentleman at the front desk gave me directions. Well the directions were totally wrong. It was hard to follow the streets because all of the one way streets are not marked with street signs. The directions he gave me were sending me down one way streets the wrong way. I ended up in the back of the campground. Turned around and tried again. This time I dropped someone off to look for the site. Well I had to move because there was traffic backed up, so I turned down a road and ended up getting lost. Thankfully a camper helped me get my 36' unit around to my site the proper way (not the way the CG told me to go). We pulled in and wouldn't you know the site was very unlevel. I had my tongue laying on my piece of wood and still couldn't level it. And when my trailer broke free from my hitch the trailer slid down hill until it loaded the wheel chocks. I now have the locks so this don't happen again. Then when we were leaving the site was to tight to make a turn out of it, I had to make my way out around through another empty site. The pools were nice, and I loved the shade but $10 for 1 water slide, yeah right. The campground office was so far away I am thankful I brought a bicycle with me. This is far from what I call a premiere campground. I have been to 10 CGs this year and this was the worst one of them all. I kind of knew this going in since I read the reviews on this site.

This campground isn’t as bad as it seems when reading other reviews. However I do agree that it is pretty over priced for what you get. The grounds are nice and the facilities are clean. I do have a few complaints. The staff, (other than one nice retired couple that cleaned cabins), are not friendly and sometimes they were rude. Their planned activities were seriously lacking. They put no thought whatsoever behind their planned activities and it showed, barely any kids showed up for any of them! I think I’m just used to Yogi Bear Campgrounds that go the extra mile when it comes to their activities. We stayed away from the back side of the park (site 371A) so that I could not hear the highway noise but some sites you could actually see the highway through the bushes. They also did not enforce their quiet time as I woke up at 2am to hear a party going on outside the cabin across from our trailer. That was truly a disappointment as I have small kids, luckily they did not wake up. However I didn’t get much sleep that night myself. I had hoped, knowing that it was “Biker Weekend” in Gettysburg, and that many of the campers were staying for that reason alone, that they would have been extra diligent with their quiet time enforcement, since they so clearly mention on their website, “a family campground.” Overall it was just an okay camping experience. We probably will not go back next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Most over rated park I ever stayed at. Entry sign behind desk says it all, "NO REFUNDS". Ask yourself why? The great ratings for this park are telling you that there is a lot to do for the kids. Other than that, it is a rip off. Crowded, busy, noisy, near a noisy highway, impersonal staff. This is a facilities park. They have all the facilities to meet the star requirements for publications, but nothing in the way of a true campground. "NO REFUNDS" means they have something to hide and worry about.

This was our first time at this park , and after reading reviews from campers recently, they had us all thinking the worst. Needless to say, the place was wonderful, clean bathrooms and clean showers, friendly staff. We were at site 104, right near the fishing pond, it was a little tight to get into, but gorgeous none the less. They could maybe stand to cut a few trees on the corners down and maybe trim some back in the tighter areas. Although no damage was done to our camper, I see how this could be a problem for some campers. It is very close to town and all the attractions. We will definitely return here, hopefully real soon.

Positives - Nice natural setting park, friendly staff, good store, great pools, cabins looked good, convenient location, golf cart rental was reasonable, mini golf was fun. Negatives - Huge campground, too much gravel,all gravel sites, could not ride bikes (even if we could it was too far from our site), very hilly, our site was OK for leveling, but I could see how some were not. All in all, we had a nice time here and made the most of it. We would probably stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our 3rd time visiting the campsite. We always enjoyed our stay here and were a little worried since the reviews had really gone downhill. Fortunately we didn't have any problems at all. In our group, we had 3 adults and 6 kids (including 4 extremely excited little boys). The office staff never treated us rudely when our tribe came into the office. There were a couple of times that the girl at the desk didn't know the answers to our questions, but they always got an answer from a man who was hanging around in the background (manager??). We didn't feel like they went out of their way to help us but we didn't feel ignored or belittled either. Hopefully it's just taking awhile for them to work out the 'kinks' with the new ownership and things are getting better. Both pools, the mini golf, and the arcade were big hits with the kids. They really loved the water slide too. We like the sites at the back of the campground near the cabins. Our site was bigger and more private than the others we saw. The family bathrooms there are also very clean. We would definitely go back again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Very disappointed with this campground. The check in process took a long time and employees were rude and disorganized. Our site was dirty when we arrived. There are only two laundry facilities throughout the whole campground. The one located near us had 4 washing machines and they were all out of order. I reported this to management and was told, "what's there is there." Also, the wifi didn't work from our site. The campground itself is close to downtown Gettysburg and is pretty with two nice pools, but it is poorly managed. Out site was not too difficult to level, but we would not stay here again.

We can only verify what other campers wrote and add some further experiences. The WiFi is NOT worth purchasing when there are leaves on the trees (that's the explanation we received from one of the resident/retiree/employees who was probably the only pleasant employee we spoke with). There was a serious problem with broken washing machines (almost three quarters of them were out of order), but this fact was apparently not of sufficient importance to cause any of the three underwhelming teenage employees at the main desk to even make a note. On the plus side, there's an interesting water slide, which costs extra. The traffic noise from nearby Route 15 (and don't bother trying the sites out back--as someone here advised--as they are just incrementally less noisy) becomes a kind of white noise after awhile. If you go, run down to the main National Park building and rent a guy who drives you around in your car and, for the course of an incredible hour and a half, explains the Battle of Gettysburg to you and your spouse for forty bucks, plus twenty tip, and makes the experience so incredible that you end up being some kind of Civil War geek for a few days... There's a lounge/pub, to the left of the hotel with the restaurant, in the rotary downtown that's worth trying. Once again, the hourly (and mostly teenage) employees are adjuncts to useless and should be avoided, and given the (unacknowledged and unresolved) problems we experienced, we'll try Artillery Ridge next time.

My family and I stayed there during this past Memorial Day Weekend. The campground was in good shape and well manicured. Although we were traveling around Gettsburg much of the time, our time at the campground was enjoyable. The desk personal were very accommodating. One of their life guards (a teenager) could probably use some people training. I would recommend that you bring your bicycle with you if you intend on getting around the campground. It is large and hard to get around on foot. I felt the $55.00 per day golf cart rental was too steep. Overall, we had a good experience and will visit again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have rated this facility higher in the past but the change in management has significantly altered the camping experience at Drummer Boy- some of the staff are extremely difficult to deal with on the simplest of transactions. We have camped here on 4 previous occasions and until this year we were entirely happy with our choice of campground. The campground facility itself is excellent, but some of the staff are so difficult to deal with that it spoils all of the features this campground has to offer. Gettysburg is a wonderful destination, and this campground used to be a place we looked forward to visiting. However, this time around was awful. In addition to the rude behavior we experienced, we also witnessed similar behavior with other campers and heard of many others. What a shame that such a great facility has lost its customer service perspective! One other note, the Wifi set up lacks bandwidth and depending on where you are in the part signal strength is very weak, so connecting is difficult and slow once connected.

We camped here more than six times in the last four years, and were also part of the recent large group. Previously, this was one of our favorite campgrounds. As of our latest visit, there is little to compel us to return to this campground. The staff was not accommodating, was rude, and was far from helpful. They went as far as using derogatory comments after hanging up the phone with potential future customers. I thought this was childish in front of other customers. Having been in business for over 30 years, I am fully aware of customer service. In this regard, there is much to be learned by the new management and owners of Drummer Boy. We will not return to this campground in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall the park itself was pretty nice, considering what we've seen before: spacious, level gravel sites, nice amenities, free and clean showers, nice but expensive camp store, and great prices for visitors! However, there are a few downsides: the back of the park is down hill and it's a long walk up, the golf carts are outrageously priced, you can hear the highway very clearly, and the office staff certainly leaves something to be desired. If they weren't rude or indifferent, they were weird and almost seemed to be making fun of us. When my one teen son asked about a certain type of museum, the girl behind the counter pointed to the wall and didn't even look up to answer him. If you can deal with that, then this is your place. In regards to the noise, we were at the back of the park, in the #300's and it was if we were right on the freeway. At night, with the windows open, it was almost deafening at some points. The pools weren't open while we were there, but they looked nice. And we didn't get to fish or play volleyball, but the kids did venture into the arcade. Someone needs to alert the PA gambling people that the DS game seems to be rigged, though (and are kids allowed to gamble in PA?). My teens went through $48 in change to try to win the DS system, and never even came close to the 'mark'. Had it not been for that and the office staff, our rating might have been higher. But with the traffic, the gravel, the arcade and the hike up the hill, it was too much to rate this park a perfect 10. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our first visit to Drummer Boy. A nice campground but very poor customer service. The staff was rude on more than one occasion,specifically during returning in of our golf cart, my wife waited 10 minutes before even being acknowledged by the staff. I understand that they were on the phone, but no one even acknowledged she was in the room until after the phone calls. I also was with the large group and was present at customer who couldn't get a level site. I wouldn't recommend the campground and I will not be going back. Under new ownership they now require payment in full and offer rainchecks only - should you need to cancel. If you don't need good customer service, this is the place to go.

This was the fourth year for our large rally, and as a result of how many of us were treated, this unfortunately will be our last year at Drummer Boy. There seems to have been a shift in customer service philosophy at Drummer Boy since the new owners took over. Customer service does not appear to be a part of the culture of the new company. A couple members wanted to switch sites. They were not accommodated, even though the sites went unused, the entire weekend. One member arrived late one evening and could not get level in their site. They switched sites twice, and then were given another site to check. When they went back 10 minutes later to let the office know they could get level, and take the site, they were told that site was no longer available! In a ten minute span! And...that site went unused for another day. Although it is a fairly nice campground, they have lost our business. Many of the sites are incredibly un-level. Office staff was rude at times. A new campground will be happy to accept what we estimate to be about $10,000 in revenue for one weekend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The two pool facilities were nice and clean. The teenage employees who handled the family craft activity were reasonably efficient and surprisingly courteous. Other workers were pleasant as well.

We stayed in site #14 which is very close to the office. We did hear road noise from the highway but did not find it overwhelming as other did. We did have two families parked on opposite sides of us who found our campsite very convenient to cut through. Didn't care for the lay out of the CG. Not a blade of grass in the area we were in. Sardines come to mind. Looked around in the new section and found it to be very crowded. Bought $15 of wood which would not burn. When I complained they gave me more wood that would not burn.

The campground is huge and not in a positive way. Our campsite was all the way in the back. It was on a steep incline and we were at the bottom. It was very far to the office and main pool. We did have easy access to the smaller pool with the slide. Although an extra fee is required for the slide, we have come to realize this is common practice for most campgrounds and are accustomed to it. I don't recall any road noise as mentioned in previous reviews, mostly because I couldn't get over how inconvenient the whole campground was. My daughter was not able to easily ride her bike given the terrain and the type of stone used on the roads. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent camping resort. First time in our new camper and even though it rained we had a great experience. Only reason for not giving a 10 rating is that our campsite was close to Rt. 15, which is a very busy highway with lots of tractor trailers. I felt like we were parked literally on the side of the road. It was even hard to hear each other talk while sitting around the campfire. Look close at the camp site map before deciding on your spot. You do not want to be near the Walker Trail side of the map. Extremely clean campground and bathrooms. Staff was friendly and helpful. BINGO in Lincoln Hall was a lot of fun and cheap.

From workampers view, the park is clean and the staff is caring. It is a very busy park on weekend especially during the height of the season. Warnings of the noise near the front part of the park has been posted here. It is a large park so be prepared to use your toad or walk long distances'. The camp also rents golf carts for daily or weekly use. The new waterslide was very exspensive to put in.

Make sure you are not located in the lower number sites such as site #10, they are located right next to a major highway and the noise from the road is loud and goes on all day and all night. You cannot enjoy the outdoors with all the noise, also those sites are close to the office and store another source for noise, not the area of the park to enjoy a restful visit. The site in the back are wonderful with more room and less noise. We had a problem over one weekend with a family with a Karoke machine and serveral kids and adults using it very loudly all day and night, the park rangers did nothing to quiet it down and we were sure glad to see them leave. The workers are all friendly and helpful and the location is great for sight seeing and enjoying the area. We will come back but will only due so if we can get a site in the back of the campground.

Stayed here for a week based on reviews listed above and was not disappointed. We were in site 5 a pull through. It was close to the pool/snackbar, game room, store, etc... Our site was very wide so we were not crowded awning to awning and this place is very wooded. We only heard the road noise one day and it was not that bad although if you are in site 64 or 65 you are right next to the highway. This place has over 700 sites but everything was so clean and we did not notice any permanent sites. Gettysburg is a great location to see the surrounding area. We spent 3 days seeing the battlefield attractions (tours, museums, ghost tours, etc...) and then visited Hershey (1:15min drive) Lancaster county Amish attractions (1:30min) shopping , shopping, shopping, and 1 day just swimming in the pool/longing at the campground. We only used the front pool not the back waterslide pool, but the front pool is very nice with zero depth entry, waterfall, snack bar etc... Overall this place rates as one of the top ten places we have camped at. Comparable to the nicest state parks and just below Topsail Hill and Fort Wilderness. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We camped here in the Summer of 2005, and had a great time. I'm not sure when the ownership changed, but the staff in 2005 were fine, and allowed me to change sites. We camped in #147 (water & electric only), and it was perfect: very large and somewhat secluded, shaded, no highway noise, and right next to a pond. This is a VERY expensive camping experience (the most I've ever paid), but it was so nice, we stayed two more days than we'd planned.

We were attracted to this campground because of its flashy ad. This is a nice campground with lots of shady lots, but it is very impersonal. We had a problem navigating the streets because some of the streets do not coincide with the map of the campground. We were also shocked that the waterslide is $1.00 a ride or you can purchase a wristband for the day. The waterslide was okay, but not worth the money. The pools were very clean, though. You do have to have bikes or a car to get around the park. I would probably stay at another campground if we go back to Gettysburg.

Overall this was just an okay campground. Heed the warnings about what site you pick. We stayed near the top of the map (site 139) and could hear the road noise all day and night. I noticed some sites where you could actually see the highway. Our site had lake drainage near the back and it caused our site to be muddy and full of bugs. The one very nice part of the park was the new pool and water slide. It is very well done and my 3 year old daughter really enjoyed it.

Cramped and chaotic parking for new arrivals, lousy laundry hours, lack of speed enforcement, and the surprise charge for usage of the new water slide were big negatives.

We really did not like this campground. We stayed in the newer section, no grass, just gravel. Playgrounds were really far away. The swimming pools were nice, but you had to pay extra for the slide. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I already reviewed this campground but forgot to mention the big slide at the new pool is an extra charge - there's no charge to swim, just to ride the slide - tokens for one ride cost $1 or a daily bracelet for unlimited rides cost $7. I think there's a different price for a 2-day bracelet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I agree with the comments made in earlier reviews. We were there at the start of the week-long event that commemorates the Battle of Gettysburg and the park was full. Even so the bathrooms were clean and I never had to wait for a shower in the ladies room! The only time we felt crowded was in the pools - it was 95 and humid the weekend we visited. Suggestions regarding sites - the sites at the top of the map on the campground's web site are closest to the highway so stay away from those if road noise bothers you. Also sites along the major roads through the park get very dusty - nothing an application of oil or some rain wouldn't cure. Very friendly staff and fellow campers - kudos!

Wow! What a great camping experience! This was the nicest campground we have ever stayed at. The restrooms are immaculate, as are most of the common areas of the campground. The pools are fantastic. The new waterslide/pool complex was really nice - has zero entry for little ones (as does the other pool) and the waterslide is great for the older ones. My 7 year old loved it! There was an abundance of life guards at the new pool, plus two life guards at the old pool. Daily activities, including pool games, crafts, and bingo, as well as nightly movies, kept us occupied when we weren't off doing other things. (FYI - A visit to the Inner Harbor took about 1 hour and 15 minutes.) We had a really large, deep campsite that was just perfect with a mix of shade and sun. The Deli on the Deck is great for a quick lunch or an ice cream cone after dinner! The campground is close to everything and the staff is WONDERFUL. Our truck broke down while we were there and one of the staff drove my husband to the auto parts store to get what he needed!!! Even offered to loan him tools if he didn't have what was required! Luckily the alternator was replaced in an hour and we were off and running again. We will definitely visit here again. What a great experience. We camped here with our son and two dogs for five nights. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice and big campground. It is hard to get around by just walking. We rented a golf cart because of the gravel it was difficult to ride bikes. We had a site in the "new" section up the hill next to the new water slide. It was a decent size site. The best thing about it was the awesome neighbors! There was planned activities and a well stocked store. The "heated" pools were beautiful but still not warm enough for the chilly day. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I really liked this place. At arrival the campsite was clean and a lot bigger than I would have expected. I would have given a better rating but the road noise was a downer. I used the showers/bathroom facilities and were clean at every use. I also used the laundry room twice and both washer/dryer worked just fine. Took the dogs for nightly walks around the park and it was hard to pick out seasonal sites since every thing seemed pretty well maintained. I would definitely stay here again.

Stayed 3 nights in October. Still quite a few rigs came in. Sites, restooms, and laundry
were clean. services and staff were excellent. Well stocked store, Sites were easy to pull in. We were only going to stay one night, but we enjoyed the Campground and Gettysburg so much we stayed an additional two. There is a 1 1/2 acre fish pond in the center of the campground. Only nibbles from little fish. Had a beautiful red tail hawk sitting in a nearby tree for a while. The campground is in the process of adding more big rig sites in the back. You could here traffic noises from the highway. I would reccomend this park and I would not hesitate to camp here again. Very positive stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a very nice campground with excellent facilities, easy access, great staff, and most everything else you would look for in a top-notch campground. It had a very nice and well stocked store (very important.) I had only a few complaints, but I would certainly stay here again. The firewood was expensive ($6 for a small, wet bundle), there was a lot of road noise from route 15, and the layout of the site was odd: the water hookup was on the right hand side and the other hookups were on the left. I had to purchase an extension for my water hose so I could reach it. I don't know if the other sites are setup like this or not, but I have never seen this before. I really enjoyed the time I was here. It is very close and convenient to the Battlefield and multiple stores and restaurants. They do a very nice job here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed 7/20-7/23. The owner mans the counter and was very helpful when I was having
trouble logging into the WiFi system. He called the WiFi people from the counter and fixed the problem. Additionally we broke down and he provided me with names of very helpful local repair/dealers. They helped sort out my problems so we could get on our way. The staff were great, park was neat as a pin, and an excellent family campground. We will go again and again.

Park is very nice. We had a large pull through site that was comfortable. Our 40' rig fit with no problems with plenty of space to park our car. Picnic table and fire ring was here as well; again roomy. Park was very quiet at night which was a plus. Another real plus was the store which was well stocked with all kinds of things, as was fairly priced. Staff were friendly and helpful in every way. The pool was nice and was real clean. We really enjoyed this park and will come back. I didn't use the bathrooms or showers, but from the looks of them from the outside, they appeared to in in good order. This park is so nice, I'm wouldn't think of going during a holiday weekend (4th July, Labor or Memorial day) as I'm afraid the crowds would be a problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.

the restrooms and showers were crystal clean and the total package was an excellent family experience. I would recomend this camp site to all types of campers, just use care when camping at the sites near the road if possible, I did not stay here but there seems to be considerable road noise. Also there are new sites under construction in the back, they look great also. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I wasn't happy here. My kids, ages 11 & 13, said the same thing. WAY too many people jam-packed in here. Minuses: parking at reservation office needs to be re-thought (office, store, laundry and snack bar are all at the same place and everyone parks in the drive thru area. We had to sit in the main road and wait for everyone to leave so we could pull thru and get to our site); laundry is locked (no key code) at 9 pm and not opened until 8:30 am (I like to do laundry early so I beat the rush); the pool was so full, I wasn't about to let my kids in there (so full you could not do anything but stand around). Understand, we enjoy a nice busy campground but Drummer Boy was way too busy that weekend for me. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is located just west of Gettysburg. The park is located in a wooded area. Most sites are back-ins for units less than 30 feet + tow vehicles. Depending on site location roads meander through trees closely adjacent to roads. We have stayed at this campground many times. It still remains our highest rated for the area. Have seen a significant decline to Wi-Fi performance from previous trips. With the campground nearly empty there were 1-2 bars and very slow. Almost to a point of being unusable at times. Still recommend for visiting the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed for one of their Halloween theme weekends. This is the second year in a row for us. Overall it was a good experience. The campground is efficient at meeting you upon arrival, and an employee guides you directly to your spot. No worrying about registering until you're set up - definitely nice, and besides there is no room at the camp entrance for more than two or three rigs to sit and wait. Unlike other campgrounds in the area, this one is entirely wooded. Sites are small - more on that later. Every site is graveled as are the roads, a plus for us. Less mud and dirt to track in the camper. We have two small children and our reason for going was the Halloween activities. We took part in the Saturday night costume and trick-or-treat parade and an afternoon craft activity. There were three crafts to choose from, and it was $5 for the most elaborate of the three. There were other activities we weren't able to do. There is definitely enough scheduled to keep kids busy. The playground is adequate, but needs a little work (there is a wooden pirate ship that is missing some railing pieces). Everyone is encouraged to decorate their sites and many people get very elaborate with it. Other pluses - a local farmers market sets up on Saturday morning, free coffee in the morning, and they have free wi-fi with a decent signal. Check-out is 2:00, which let us do some things in Gettysburg before leaving. Negatives - cable TV was $2 extra per night. I don't recall if that was the case in 2011. They put us in a small spot, and I'm pretty sure I said we have a 21' trailer with a rear slide. Our slide basically jutted out into the neighbor's site, very close to their fire ring. In the future I will just say I have a 27 footer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice campground. Large sites, neatly kept, gravel roads and sites, and pretty level consider that this campground has been cut out of the side of a mountain. The only drawback is that the dog walk area is a long way away from the farthest camp sites and the gravel roads were tough on our dogs feet. We stayed in 47...very nice, private. This was a Deluxe site - not our first choice but it was a holiday weekend so it was packed. A little dark in the park at night, could use more lighting to be able to take dogs for walk before bed. Cable channels are limited and not as plentiful as the brochure would lead you to believe, but there were sufficient local stations and ESPN. Overall we would definitely stay here again...only not on a holiday weekend. The price was really high for our Sunday night stay $70+. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean, despite the previous weeks monsoon that flooded the campground. Sites are private, not 2ft from your neighbor like some campgrounds we have been to. They seem to be more concerned about having a nice campground and not trying to fit 5lbs of stuff in a 10lb bag. They have a nice doggy and kids playground. Only complaint is one member of the staff yelled at my son for playing on the dog park see-saw. I had turned around to pickup some dog doo doo and had just started to say something to him, when she yelled from across the campground. Other than that the rest of the staff was very friendly.

The campground was clean, but that is about the only good thing I can say. It is a very small campground that is way over priced. There is an extra charge for cable (which is horrible). Our particular site had a massive rock (size of small car) that stuck up about 12 inches under the awning. It also just happened to be near my entry door… Needless to say my toe hurts from tripping over the rock the entire weekend. Due to the boulder, the fire ring could not be used for fear of burning a hole in the awning fabric. Saturday evening we walked up to the store to find the staff in a verbal feud with each other. This wasn’t the worst campground I have ever stayed in, but it sure does make the worst 5 list. Most state parks we camped in have better sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an older KOA on the West side of Gettysburg. It is located on a narrow side road and the approach and the interior roads are very narrow. If coming from the PA pike from West, need to take PA 75 south since all other routes are basically impassable. The entire KOA is paved in black gravel. The only areas not graveled are the trees, rocks, and playground. The dog run is tiny and graveled. The dog walk is 75' long, very narrow, and along the edge of the road. Wi-Fi is good near the office. Cable is available ($). Sites are mostly fairly level although the campground is on a slant. A premium site gets you a picnic table and an old wooden swing - that's it. Staff was helpful. Basically, this is a campground that meets the minimums. The owner knows you probably won't be visiting Gettysburg again so improvements are at a minimum. Quite disappointed in this place; although we have been in 3 KOA's that were worse. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed our time at this campground. We took advantage of the the evening family movies, but little else since we did multiple day trips to see historic Gettysburg. The employees were all very friendly. The sites here are a little narrow, but not cramped. We had site # 41 which was very convenient to the bathhouse, but a light that was shining right into our site. We like to sit by the fire so the campfire "atmosphere" was non-existant. The other sites were not affected by the light, so just ask not to be put in site 41. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

There are enough trees that getting satellite reception is unlikely on many sites; the cable TV signal was adequate but weak and snowy on our site. We have a 27 foot motorhome, and the site we were on couldn't have taken one much larger. Larger sites are available, but be sure you specify what you need. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There isn't enough I can say about this campground. Plenty for the kids to do, clean bathrooms and showers, gravel roadways and sites, and beautiful grounds. Plenty of people pruning, cleaning, or just lending a hand to someone who needed it. Security did rounds at night, and trash was always picked up throughout the day. Camp store had everything you needed if you forgot something, and they also have a pancake breakfast Saturday & Sunday mornings for $2.95. Perfect if you don't feel like cooking one morning. Sites are all well shaded and a bit on the small side, but the campground is well laid out and the sites and cabins don't look like they were just put there.

An accurate channel listing would have been helpful. Nicely stocked small store. Staff is good. Water pressure was very low on some days. If you plan to go toward the DC area from here, ask for directions: that will let you avoid driving your coach through downtown Gettysburg (narrow streets and a round-about).

Overall this is a nice campground but I found some areas lacking. One is the bathrooms. While they are clean and well maintained they are full bathrooms: toilet, sink, shower in one room. There are only 4 of the rooms available in the main camp area. There a bath house down at the camp store/pool area but that is a hike. Wi-Fi didn't work. The smallish sites made parking our 38' MH difficult as many TOADS took up some of the roadway reducing the radius. The park is all trees so careful backing is a must. Very few pull throughs. It is also not as close to Gettysburg as we thought. Finally cable costs extra and it's only the very basic channels. We won't stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall, this park was a good place to stay: quiet and convenient to Gettysburg. It has lots of trees and shade and was well run for the most part. The dog park and dog walk area was very nice and the people really were helpful. Possibly overpriced, but it seems to me that is the case with a lot of KOA campgrounds. The WI-FI worked most, but not all, of the time. The reason I didn't rate higher was based on a sewer pipe problem across from us. They would work on it, then it would overflow: again and again. They should have just called a professional plumber! Not a pretty sight. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our second camping experience, and we loved this campground. It was clean, friendly, visually pleasing, with wooded and rustic looking sites. Even though we were close to our neighbors, boulders and trees separated us very well. The pool, playground and mini golf areas were well taken care of and the flowers were beautiful. I did use the bathrooms- older but okay, but some ants around. I think they are hard to avoid in these wooded areas. They have cabins, too, but we weren't too close. The overall feeling was serenity, and there weren't too many people making loud noises. There was a nice camp store, pancake breakfast on weekend, movie night, and other offerings. We just enjoyed our peace! The sign says this was a top KOA winner, and I can see why! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were able to rent a CD of the Gettysburg tour at the office which we very much enjoyed. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a deluxe full hookup - came with a wooden-lawn swing as well as the fire pit and lovely nice metal(mesh) picnic table. Lovely, staff is helpful, and the dog park is great. Laundry facilities were clean and real nice. Shuttle into town for the bus tour with guide was good and gave us a chance to sit back and let them do the driving. We stayed 3 nights, and wish we could have stayed longer. I would give it a 9.5 as I don't give out 10s. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate is with KOA discount. Cable costs $2/day more. Thought the rate was high considering no cable. Staff was not overly friendly, but still made you feel welcome. The setting is nice, trees all over. Close enough to all the Gettysburg attractions, but far enough away to be able to relax. We'd consider staying here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great wooded campground. This is our third time staying here in 10 years and once again we were impressed. The staff was attentive and courteous. And believe it or not, the wifi worked well throughout the week at our site even though we were far away from the office. The gravel sites were a blessing this week since it rained constantly and we appreciated not having to walk through mud. The dog liked the new pet playground. We had a deluxe pull through site which made coming and going in our motorhome very convenient. The new cement fireplaces in the deluxe sites were nice and even came with a grate so we didn't need to put our grill on a table to cook. We loved the swings. Since we are all history buffs in our family including one reenactor we will return to Gettysburg. As a side note, the battlefield is very easy to tour via motorhome and once you get through downtown Gettysburg the area is quite RV friendly. (Watchout for your mirrors on the trees and utility polls while going through downtown.) We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is laid out so that long rigs, i.e., 5th wheels, etc., must use full hookup sites. Electric and water only sites do not provide enough maneuver room. We watched a 5th wheel scrap a tree and had to abandon getting in there. Please don't disturb the office staff while they are on the phone, just come back later. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a very nice park. We arrived after office hours, but there was a map with our information on it at the night registration area. Our site was level and did not require any leveling blocks, and we did not see any leveling blocks on the campers/motorhomes in our area. The dog park was a hit with our kids and the dog alike. Free Wi-Fi, but we could not access it very well at our site because of our distance from the office. Kids loved the pancake breakfast on the weekend. Will definitely return.

Very nice and heavily wooded campground. Our site was extremely short and cramped with the trailer backed right up to a tent site, still leaving little room for the truck. Site had a fire ring however it was in the corner of our site, just off the tent site and about a foot from our awning. Luckily friends were nearby and our nights were spent at their site, while our days were touring the battlefields. Campground staff was very polite and helpful, and again the campground was really wooded and the bathrooms very clean. We will definitely return if we can get a bigger site, farther up the hill (or pull through). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Not only one of the best KOA's we've visited, one of the best campgrounds overall. Campground is a bit hilly, but all sites very level. Staff will assist you in parking. Lots of mature trees. Plenty of shrubbery and lots of rocks/boulders = very scenic grounds. No major roads nearby so nights were very quiet. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful with guidance to local area. Dog park was fantastic! - Nicer than many kids' parks! Located about 10 - 15 minutes outside of Gettysburg, but well worth the drive.

The day we stayed it was HOT, probably around 100 degrees when we pulled in. Campground is very shady, which was great given the weather. They now have a Kamp K9 fenced dog park with some agility equipment and shade. Our dogs loved it. We had a nice pancake breakfast. Pool was open and clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi was a little slow so that's why I took off a point. Otherwise it would have been a 10. Probably lots of people hiding out in their RV's due to the heat and surfing the web causing the slow down. We've stayed here in the past and will stay again. Saw plenty of big rigs in here so they must be able to maneuver around. Our motorhome is only 29' and we didn't have any problems. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were a little depressed after reading the reviews. This is the first KOA we have been, that didn't have any activities for a weekend. The cg was pretty full so I am not sure why nothing was planned. The only activity for kids was a ghost walk which was cancelled. No hayrides, etc. They did have a small park for kids and a really nice pet playground which looked new. The basketball was nothing more than a hoop and a small gravel area. Shuffleboard was nice, minigolf was not to nice, lifesize checkers/chess was cool. Of course it rained and with nothing to due indoors we just sat and watched the rain. The CG staff was friendly at all times. The CG is mostly wooded which we do like. The roads around the CG are kind of tight. The rates seemed a little high for what we were getting. The pool was closed, looked nice but small. CG store was nice and had a good stock. One other issued I didn't like was they would not give us a CG site number until we arrived. Each year we stay in Gettysburg, unfortunately we we probably will not return as we have had better times at other CG's here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is beautiful and great for families. However, big rig RV'ers beware. The pull-thru section's roads are too narrow, not well marked and the trees have not been trimmed to allow for rigs of 13 ft or taller to go thru safely. I don't recommend the pull-thru section for big rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The location of this campground is lovely in comparison to the other campgrounds in Gettysburg. It is still close to Gettysburg sights, but secluded enough to provide a peaceful get away. The sites are shaded and well kept. The owners are on-site and take pride in the family-friendly atmosphere. There is a wonderful playground and an adorable play cabin for children. The premium sites have a two-person wood swing, that really adds to the experience. However, the most of the sites are very small and campground itself is not level, which makes for difficult walking and bike riding. The mini-golf is literally on the side of the hill and may be difficult to access for older visitors. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites spacious for a private CG, separated by shrubs, small trees & boulders, all natural to the area. Hilly CG - road to some cabins narrow & steep. Some cabins have very private settings. Friendly & helpful staff (and a lot of them); many activities offered, including tours of the battlefield and area attractions. Country location means little road noise.

We love this campground and stay as often as we can. We stay in the deluxe sites and feel they are well worth the small extra fee. During this stay it rained the entire stay but with the gravel sites you have absolutely no mud or mess. Also due to the sites being wooded we felt very protected from the elements. Staff was wonderful as well as helpful but this has always been the case here. We have never had problem here from the moment we arrive until we depart. We already have our next reservation made.

We did really enjoy our stay. We'd give a ten if the sites were larger and better spaced and if the bathhouse were closer. Our site was pretty well shaded and very level, but we had tenters right next door to the right, and even though they were lovely people, we felt that they were right on top of us. Had a popup been there with their back end to us, we might have felt that we had more privacy. There were also yellow jackets EVERYwhere and this made for a difficult stay. My husband was stung visiting the bathhouse. However, rowdy visitors were not tolerated at all, and we really appreciated the constant visible security. The many and varied family activities were wonderful too. Overall, we would return but missed the space that we enjoyed at the Gettysburg Campground up the road. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

What an enjoyable experience. Campground located well away from busy roads making it very quiet. Graveled roads in campground and graveled sites. Heavily wooded but not so much as to impede access. Sites were relatively level. Staff friendly and very helpful. Camp store remains open until 10 PM, great for those late night ice cream cravings. Fire rings provided at all sites. Staff escorts you to your site and even helps you back in. The campground was very clean and well maintained. Water quality was very good. Only drawback - check in parking is very limited, only room for two rigs. But a very nice over all stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My favorite type of private campground. Wooded sites with plenty of room for slides. The campground staff if so sweet and kind! My in-laws and kids enjoyed the pancake breakfast and charity tag sale going on Saturday morning. We did camp with our dog and had no problems. Unlike a previous reviewer, we were able to leave her on site and noticed other dogs(barking) in their unattended campsites. I wouldn't worry about leaving my dog in the motorhome unattended unless you know that the dog would draw attention to itself. (This seems to be a standard KOA policy.) We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground with lots to do. We stayed on one of their Halloween weekends and it was great. They had lots of planned activities for kids including making "edible crafts" and trick or treating through the campground. Only negative was we went for the Sunday morning pancake breakfast...so did the rest of the campground! They were not probably staffed to handle the volume of people. We waited over an hour for pancakes! Next time we'll make our own! But overall it was a great experience and we are already planning to go back next Halloween. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice campground. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. It's clean and somewhat quiet considering the place is full. I would have rated this a 10 except for the difficulty backing in to some of the sites. My site is small but shady and one of the hosts helped me back in when I arrived. The pictures on the website are a bit deceiving as the campground is on a hill, not flat as the pictures show. Nevertheless, the sites are level and fairly well laid out. The site pads are gravel as are the main roads and that can make for a tricky ride up the hill. The camp store is fully stocked with somewhat pricey items (firewood is $7 a bundle). The bathrooms are clean and trash is picked up every morning. There is a small dog walk at the entrance to the park. I didn't use the pool but it appeared clean and well kept. They offer a pancake breakfast every weekend morning for $2.75 and will deliver pizza to your site if you don't feel like cooking. There are bikes to rent and shuttle buses to the battlefield twice a day. They tried to keep the general setting as natural as possible, large boulders were left in place at almost every site. One thing they need to do is upgrade the electrical system. It appears old and I had my breaker trip a number of times when others began using their ac units. Overall this is one of the better KOA's I have stayed in. I will come back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Camped here for KOA's free night weekend in May, paid for second night. Almost all sites are shaded, roads & sites all gravel. All recreation in woods, mini golf, shuffle board, horse-shoes, etc, no open area for volleyball or badminton. Heated pool was open in mid May. Escort to site backed me in perfectly. Site was level & good size for slide & large awning, was little tight on the exit. Quiet at night, even when full. Friendly neighbors & staff, although both times in office, to get & return shuffle board equipment did need to wait, even though there was more than one worker.

We had reservations to stay at this campground, however, was not able to stay here because of one of their policies. One reason families choose to travel in a camper is so they can bring their pet along with them. It is not unusual to expect that a family will leave their pet in the air conditioned camper while sightseeing in a particular area. This campground will not allow you leave your pet unattended at any time in your own camper -- they request that you kennel your pet. Why would I kennel my pet at a campground when I wouldn't do it at home while going on vacation. It was in the 90's everyday and my pet would have been far better off in the air conditioned camper than traveling with us or being kenneled. I believe their policy is completely unreasonable and is inconsistent with KOA's pet policy. While I was there, it appeared that the campground was overcrowded and the sites were close together -- not staying there worked out for the best. I would not recommend this campground.

Stayed as R.O.D. members. Generally nice. Roads gravel but well maintained, site gravel and level but just big enough. We had no sewer but no problem as they had a dump station. Restrooms and showers were barely adequate for the number of guests. Found them to be reasonably clean but not spotless. Wi-Fi for fee, did not use. Seemed to be a great family campground, lots of families with kids, still quiet in the evening. Close to the Battlefield. Pool was not heated so did not use but was very nice. We will definitely stay here again. 7 rating was due to bathroom condition and availability. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Me and my wife signed up 2 years ago and have turned into regulars there. I have no issues on booking reservations when I use common sense (4-5 days out NOT on the way there). They have an whole new staff and have fired several employees in a effort to make the members more happy. when I had a problem with my RV one of their staff members actually came to my site to help fix it wich i thought was nice but come to find out he actually wasn't even working that day so basically he drove from home just to help us out!!. The bathrooms all tile, cleaned almost hourly, with pedestal sinks and separate showers with bolt lock doors an every stall. This is a park i would recommend for anyone. Just in the past 2 years since my family has been a member they have added about 35 NEW campsites, over $100,000 on the largest pool in the county for renovations, updated most of their electric, built a brand NEW pavilion, put in NEW shuffle board courts, built a brand NEW ice cream parlor, NEW game room and from what i understand is they are paving the roads this spring, mini golf, 4 more cabins and 40 more campsites! show me one resort out there that has done more renovations and additions in 2 years. Our children love all the activities the park throws almost 40 activity weekends per year and they will have the same memories for the rest of their lives. No one can put a price tag on that for me. 10 STARS!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here free as a guest to listen to the opportunity to join their membership. We were not impressed at all for a campground advertising as a resort. We have stayed in many campgrounds that were not labeled as resorts and that were much nicer. For a resort that wanted us to spend thousands of dollars to join, they didn't give us the "royal" treatment. The sites are literally on top of each other; any closer & you wouldn't be able to put out your awning. If I were trying to impress someone and show them "the best", I would at least give full hook-up. We would never recommend this resort to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wi-Fi available for $$. Pool seasonal. Had originally planned for more days, but with what we saw when we pulled into our site, we immediately changed our reservations to only one night, which they were very accommodating with. Sewer connection very far back - check before you set up your rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed for four nights on AOR. We were arriving on Labor Day and when we made reservations with AOR, the rep had to call the campground. They said they would accommodate us even though it was a holiday. We figured we would be put out in some field. When we got there, the place was mostly empty and we were given a site with power and water only. It was a gravel site and the little section looked pretty new. But it was the most unlevel site we have ever been in. We have auto levelers so really don't care if a site is level. When we backed in, the rear was at least a foot lower than the front of the motor home. We had to drive the rear wheels up on several blocks first before we even attempted putting the levelers down. It poured the whole time we were there but we were high and dry. No flooding problems even though other campgrounds were being evacuated. Didn't use the restrooms or showers but they looked very nice. Staff was very friendly and the store and clubhouse looked great. Very close to the National Military Park and Gettysburg. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

After being called a few times to "Come out and visit." this member's only resort, we decided to give it a try. We stayed three nights free of charge. The obligatory tour and sales pitch were short and not high pressure. Overall the campground is nice. The sites are closely spaced and in some places down right tight. The pool and playground were really nice as was the store and snack bar. We found the staff friendly and helpful. Bathroom were well laid out and clean. We happened to be there on a re-enactment weekend and really enjoyed watching our children enlist and learn more about the war hands on. It was a nice weekend and we will likely return because of the free camping voucher otherwise, we would most likely find some where with more elbow room. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here using Coast to Coast and paid $10/night. All C2C sites are water and electric only. Weekend was very busy, place was full. Weekdays the place thinned out. Lots of dogs and kids. Big pool and playground. Big draw here is the Civil War re-enactments which happen regularly. C2C site are mostly level, some shaded, some sunny. We were disappointed in the bathrooms, they were not clean, tile grout moldy, paper holders didn't work and not enough showers/toilets to accommodate the entire park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are a Coast to Coast member, you are penalized and can only get a W/E Site, even though this campground sells and pushes C2C during its sales pitch. Overall this is a very nice park. Recent rains made it a little muddy in places, but our site had fresh gravel. Dog walk was nice and people seemed to be very concerned with picking up after their own pets. Wi-Fi was available throughout the camp, but very expensive. Free Wi-Fi in lounge was sort of slow. Bath house had individual shower rooms and they were mostly clean. A few campers did not seem to care that others might follow them, but most were good. Overall a nice place to stay. Just wish they treated C2C like members. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We originally camped here in October of 2010 and were so impressed that we purchased a membership. We came back in April for the first time using our membership, thinking that maybe it wasn't as great after the initial visit, but were wrong, it was just as great. The only things not great were that we chose a spot near the satellite bath house because we have a disabled child, only to find that that bath house wasn't open, leaving us a decent walk to the main bath house (we in fact had to drive because the wheelchair didn't work so well over the gravel roads), and the cafe/snack bar we enjoyed was closed for remodeling (not inexcusable as it was the off season). The staff is friendly except for one person who must have been having a bad day (she was friendlier the next day). We can't wait to go back during the regular season to try the huge pool, event weekends, and battlefields. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed as C2C but lucked out and got sewer hookup because we met up with some friends that are owners. Our back-in site was across from the nice and clean bath house. Free WIFI at the store only, store and sitting areas were very nice. The roads had small potholes everywhere. We had lots of rain one night, but no flooding or problems because of the rain, didn't smell any sewer as stated below. 50 AMP Electric was good, received 12 over the air TV channels.

We stayed here due the fact that we had "free camping" but it was far from free, especially when you have to endure the 3 hour sales pitch for the "time share" TRof A people. Our sales person, was very nice, low pressure, and did a good job in trying to sell us, but we said no. I cannot justify paying 7k for a less than average campground membership. The only good thing I can say is the bathhouse are very nice, with private shower rooms. The drain field was failing, thus you had a strong sewer smell in the air. Pet walk area was across the campground due the fact the drain field was going bad. Promises of paving and new sewer were made, but when we asked the maintenance personnel, they said what, we haven't heard that one! Site are not level and ground was very spongy. We did get 3 nights of free camping for our time share presentation, but we may try the other campground in NC. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

$10 reflects Coast to Coast cost. Large 300 site park. No sewer hookup and a $12 charge for a honey wagon. Electric at our site (261) was horrible, always below 110 volts and dropped out of service at least 3 times in 3 days. Trees at site need trimmed. Dogs (big ones) tied outside and allowed to bark in to the night. We did enjoy the area, the pond, the battlefield re-enactment. Also they need more dumpsters, could only locate two areas in the park. Good location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We chose this CG due to its central location to Gettysburg/Lancaster/Hershey area, and because of its excellent ratings. Although it is a time share type membership, we were not approached to buy into it. In fact, when I attempted to access the main site online, it stated that they were not currently selling in Pa, and the brochure that was given @ check in was for FL, starting @ $1500 for 3 mos. The CG itself is beautiful. When you check in, you are told to drive around, pick an empty site to your liking, and advise the office of your selection. The CG is at least 50% seasonal. It is clean, and the sites are decent sized but somewhat uneven, and the utilities are @ the far back of the site. Most sites are shaded, and Wi-Fi is available for a daily, weekly or monthly fee, which was reasonable. I was put off by the staff, from the first time I called. I was told to call back in 2 weeks, since they don't rent to non members until they know how many members will be utilizing the facilities in a specific time period. When I called back in 2 weeks, I was given the # of a main office in another state. Whoever answered the phone there had to contact this CG to see if the sites were available. It was very unorganized, and took several hrs to finalize. The website advises of a bridge that is out near the CG. WOW! What a MESS! The office stated that it was open to CG traffic. HA! Its non existent, and when I called as we were coming, the lady who answered spoke to me as if I was a total idiot for not being familiar w/ some route that the locals use. When we arrived, she again spoke to me in this manner. My career is to locate homes in a timely manner, as peoples' lives depend on it. Trust me, this detour is confusing, and anyone coming in should be notified when they make reservations. I am so grateful to have full hook up, because the bathrooms near us were a MESS. Muddy, dirty, paper products everywhere, trash overflowing, and no ventilation at all. There is a box fan plugged into an outlet by the sink, not sure how safe that is, and my daughter had to wipe urine off the toilet seat to use it. the store is decent enough, and has very reasonable hand dipped ice cream. There is a petting zoo which was really neat, as well as a few livestock in a fence. I felt really badly for the livestock. They were literally covered in hundreds of flies, and there are measures that can be taken to alleviate this. In conclusion, the CG is decent but could be better with a few improvements which could begin with the office staff learning how to deal with the public. The area surrounding the CG is absolutely gorgeous with rolling farmland. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate reflects cost under AOR membership for 30 amp/water site, no sewer. As stated by previous reviewers, full hookup/50 amp sites are reserved for members only but we were informed of that by AOR when we made our reservation so it was not a surprise. Unlike the two prior reviewers, we found this park to be very pleasant and we can see evidence that improvements are still being made. Roads are packed gravel and at least in the areas we encountered along the way to our site, in good shape and easily navigable with our 41' motorhome. Sites are gravel parking areas with grass between. While our site was not perfectly level, we had no trouble getting level using our jacks. Not all sites are the same size, but there are many, including ours, that had plenty of room for our motorhome, slides, awning and tow car. While walking our dogs around the park I didn't notice any sites that seemed terribly out of level although yes, most are not perfectly flat. We had no problems with power or water. Good cell phone and air card reception. Antennae TV reception is only OK. Nice lodge and pool area. Friendly staff and campers. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a membership campground and we stayed here under our Coast to Coast membership. We are full time RV'ers and ask for only a few things in a commercial campground. 1) Electrical hookups that provide 'good' power, 2) level sites and 3) accessible roads. This park met none of our requirements! After checking in and being led to the back of the campground along narrow, treed, and heavily potholed roads we backed into our very unlevel, narrow, downhill sloping site. Plugging into the 30 amp hookups provided us with barely enough power to run one appliance. We called the office and asked for maintenance to stop by to check the power situation. Well, 24 hours later, after 3 more calls and a stop at the office maintenance finally showed up. His explanation was that 'they always have problems with power in this part of the park'. NOT ACCEPTABLE, no matter how much you are paying. The pool and clubhouse are nice. We found the office staff to be friendly but not terribly helpful - I doubt we will stay here again.

We camped here in 2002 with Coast to Coast and had a good experience. Not this time. It was my fault for not checking the current facilities available with a Coast to Coast site. Apparently, C2C didn't do such a great job of negotiating and C2C members can only get water/electric. We were counting on a full hookup given that we had been boondocking the past several days and planned to be here for a week. They had ONE site for us for the week and, as are many others, it is very unlevel. I have both front wheels off the ground, which I hate doing. When I asked if we could upgrade to a full hookup site for a few days until the weekend and then move back to a water/electric site I was told the full hookups are for members only. Even if they sit empty. The only thing going for us with this stay is the price. So we suck it in and deal with a less than enjoyable stay. I doubt we will return here again.

We have a membership at this campground and have stayed there for a week at a time last couple of years. They are constantly improving the campground with membership fees. A lot of the sites are off level and most are all gravel. Water pressure is low, electric is good, our site this year the sewer was uphill. Lots of kids on the weekends and the noise that goes along with it but they are good about maintaining quiet during restricted hours. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here using our RPI membership and the price was great. Also the proximity to the Battlefield & town of Gettysburg. However: (1) we made our reservation with another couple and asked to be put at least close together if possible at the time we made reservation. That didn't happen and apparently once your site is assigned there is no changing it. We asked upon checking in to be together and were told no even though there were empty sites all around each of us for the whole week. (2) The sites are extremely unlevel. We had to use several blocks to get level and even then could only do so by parking with the curbside of the motorhome right at the edge of the site with a huge boulder right next to the door. (3) The power during the week when the park was fairly empty was ok, but on the weekend with more people there we couldn't get any power to speak of. Forget any air conditioning & it got so bad at one point we couldn't even run a fan. We talked to one fellow camper who had no power the whole weekend and begged to be moved but was refused. (4) The staff wasn't as rude as I've seen in some other posts, but they were unfriendly. Even with the membership price we will not stay here again. I would rather pay full price and get a decent spot with friendly staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here using C2C. Unless you are a member of park you won't get 50 amps and no sewer. The site we were assigned was so out of level we could level our motorhome even using blocks under rear wheel and jacks. We asked office to move and both sites they said we could move to were just as bad as the original. The others would have required navigating a narrow road with trees close to road a several tight turns that would have been difficult for a 40 foot MH. They also have placed a lot of large rocks close to the roads. Many rocks don't seem to be there for any other reason other than damaging RV's as many had paint on them from being hit.

Only about 1/3 of the sites have sewer & cable and they are reserved for members. We were invited for to look at the campground and listen to a 2 hour presentation - there was no pressure to buy a membership. We we said no - it was over - enjoy your stay. They had a Civil War re-enactment going on all weekend that was very interesting. The bathrooms were individual shower, sink and toilets and very clean. The small pond is catch and release - no fun for someone that likes fish. Sites and roads were stone - not too much dust. They have a very few golf carts reserved for members. A member next to us was going to move to a site with sewer and cable when it was available in 2 days. The rental cabins are beautiful with all the goodies. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with the other person who rated this campground a poor average. We came to this campground as a middle point stop to Lancaster co. Rude staff members. We made a reservation in advance and when we got there they said we had no reservation. So we could not get our site we wanted. Instead we were placed in a small site in the back of the campground next to a junk pile of rusted old rv's. They said the pool would be open till 10pm, it closed early at around 8:15. No reason why besides the staff member wanted to close it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Check in was okay. The two young girls there were snots! Very rude to say the least. Most all the sites are not maintained. The park allowed a day care to bring 3 van loads full of young children (below kindergarten age) to come into the pool. NON MEMBERS. Needless to say none of the children had on swim pants and there were accidents in the pool. They did not close the pool but just dipped out the bad stuff and left the pool open till the next day. Then they decided to keep the pool closed on the hottest days of the year! 105 plus temps. They say they have a filter problem. The showerhouse at the lodge/pool area was not clean, it really stunk bad like a dump station that was left open! My wife could not go into those bathrooms. We think this park could be nice if management would step up a little. It is going downhill. Needs a lot of work and need friendly staff for a change. Do not expect the young girls at the front desk to be nice, nor answer your questions. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Gettysburg Battlefield Resort is a total waste of money! They give one heck of a sales pitch. When you join they are good friends. After you stay a time or two things REALLY change. Thats when they start changing rules. If you read the fine fine print, they are allowed to change rules at anytime without NOTICE to you. The girls at the check-in/campstore are RUDE. My wife and I are older folks and the young girls do not want to take time with us. Only one is nice the other younger girls will not take the time to help you or answer your questions. One time we went in and asked for a certain site, the girl said it was reserved, then we looked around the campstore.. another couple came in and got the EXACT site we wanted, WITHOUT reservations!!! We were so mad. They only keep their good cabins and good sites for their friends or well known buddies. The pull though sites are mostly all mud. The lodge and pool is supposed to stay open till 10pm every night unless there is storms where they need to close the pool. We understand that. After driving several hours to get to the resort we wanted to go swimming. It was a little after 8pm and a man came into the pool and said " Time to leave, closing time!". We asked why cause such nice weather and he said "it has been a long day and I want to get back to my trailer". We paid over $6000 to use this resort.. Thats right SIX THOUSAND dollars! To get treated like this! We have tried complaining to the head guys in the Sales and Management office but they said if we keep complaining they can yank our membership away! Come to find out the PEOPLE they like can apply for a BETTER membership that cost only $3000 more! We wondered why we could NEVER get reservations even calling up to our allowed 60 days in advance. With the Ambasider membership you can reserve as far ahead as you want and they cater to you. We think this is just terrible. We were also told that when we joined the park could always accommodate us, NOPE -- NOT the case. We were turned away one time after driving 3 hours with our trailer we had to go to a nearby public campground and pay $48 a night! Oh.. thats right another thing we almost forgot is the annoying golf carts allowed. Most are old models and they stink to high heaven. Another thing that is bad is they say you can only stay 14 days. For their FRIENDS you can stay as long as you like, we have been there for the last few months to drive though and seen a trailer up on blocks that has been there for months! These people are not employees. We got taken by our membership. This is a fair warning to those who are thinking about this place. SAVE YOUR MONEY and go to DRUMMER BOY. It is worth the money and the facilities are so much better, not to mention the workers there are nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The W/E sites are very close together. If this were high season, we'd be packed in like sardines. We were in site 194 and our friends with a pop-up were next door. It is all gravel and level, but with tall trees that might make it difficult for some to navigate the larger RVs (even the pull-thrus). It was preseason, but we couldn't get a waterfront site. Easy to get to, very close to the Gettysburg Battlefield and other Gettysburg shops and restaurants. Camp store is average (more camping gear and less fill-in foods if you forgot something). Staff was wonderfully helpful. Enjoyed their on-site hand scoop ice-cream. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice, clean campground. Our site (55) was very nice although at times a bit buggy near the stream. The site to our left (54) was ridiculously small, but fortunately it remained empty throughout the week, so we had even more room. Bathrooms were clean (free) with plenty of hot water. The campground is primarily gravel. Some sites are delineated only by yellow lines. The free Wi-Fi was fine. We were there from Monday – Saturday. By Friday the place was packed cheek to jowl—so avoid weekends if you can. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice campgrounds, 3mi. to town and battlegrounds. Lots to do in the area. Sites are all level and good drainage in rain. Lots of activities on weekends in the park, very busy on weekends. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of shade trees. Will stay here again if in area. The only reason we did not rate it a 10 is because cable reception was marginal and we were given the smallest site in the park. I think as all the others were quite large. Friendly helpful staff, there seemed to be staff available 24/7 to handle any problems as I saw staff cleaning up water in the bathrooms after midnight one evening. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Clean grounds, diligent staff, and fully stocked store make this a no-lose choice. We marked it slightly lower only due to its distance from town and the battlefield, but that is not necessarily bad. Some people may actually like being a bit off the beaten track. If so, this one will do. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great place to stay. 40 plus years camping, and they really have it together here. It was very hot and humid but yet the restrooms was well ventilated and even as busy as they were everything was very clean. We would go back again and again. Great location. The stream that runs through the campground is very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I would have given 10 on the rating but the sites are very close together. The site we were in was well shaded and level though the sewer connection was just about in the site next to us. The staff was courteous and knowledgeable about the area. The campground is located very close to the battlefield and town. Wi-Fi working fine, a little slow at times but tolerable.

I expected more from this campground because of all of the good reviews. I was a little disappointed. Cons: Sites were a little close together. Pool was average and mini-golf was very small and basic. We had a site along the stream but there were a lot of trees between our site and the stream. Wi-Fi was slow. Pros: Kids liked the playground and arcade. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Sites are very, very close together. Staff is difficult to interact with. We traveled as a group they "accidently" put someone between us and would not work around the problem. After dark one individual does laps in a golf cart checking on everyone. After dark they drive by slower, blacked out. The only plus is that they are very close to Gettysburg Battlefield.

Large campground, well-maintained. "Deluxe" sites really aren't THAT deluxe, but at least it was pretty level. Choice of open, wooded and creek side sites. Nice during the week, but extremely crowded on weekends and holidays with lots and lots of children riding their bikes and screaming in the pool. There was an extremely loud DJ show until 10:30 on Saturday night: the boom-boom-boom of his amps got old pretty quickly. Nights were quiet, though. Good campground for families as there are lots of activities for the kids and a nice playground. Cable TV was ok but Wi-Fi is just about useless when park is very full. Very small laundry room; not enough machines for park this size. Bathrooms were clean. Lovely creek wraps around property. Store was very nice with ice cream parlor. Caution: if you have to turn right out of the park, you immediately encounter a bridge that is down to one VERY skinny lane. If you have a really big rig, it's very hard to swing wide enough to approach the bridge straight on; there's not much maneuvering room. Don't know how long the bridge will be under construction; call first for updates. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Rate was with Good Sam discount, they also give discounts for AAA, active duty military, law enforcement, or Fire/EMS. Most of the sites and roads are gravel, that are fairly level. Boundaries are spray painted, but it was a slower weekend, so there was a site between each occupied site except on the creek. Lots of shade in the back sites, they also have field sites out in the sun, and tent sites in their own area. Saw all sizes and shapes of trailers to Class A diesels. Had lots of activities for the families, plus they have a nice play field, and playground. Bathrooms and showers were clean and always being cleaned. Also have a dish wash sink outside the bathrooms which is a plus. Good camp store with Gettysburg souvenirs, hiking sticks, RV parts and accessories, etc. Firewood prices weren't bad, 20 pieces for $10 for the loose wood (not hardwood), or 2 bags for $11.50. Will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Nice family run CG and the owners seem to try hard to keep people happy. We were there for the Halloween weekend (lots of fun), the CG was full and it was pretty tight getting into the sites (some trees and lots of RVs around). Sites were too short to park the truck and trailer together. Our site was wide and had lots of space to sit in but our neighbors had a narrow site - I would suggest viewing the site first, if possible. Sites on the river had the best views. Utilities were good. Our site was a little sloped and was muddy after the rain. Laundry room was small, but the machines worked well. Nice, large grassy area to walk the dog. Showers were fine, but smelled a bit of mildew. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We picked this place because of the friendly staff and the gravel sites. We have had a lot of rain and there isn't a puddle anywhere. There is a stream around the site and plenty of things to do. Internet and cable were not extras. For an over nite stop before heading out to the battlefield, this is the spot. The beginning of the auto tour, where the battle began northwest of town, is minutes away. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Warning! If you are coming into town on Hwy30 from York, do not follow directions in Trailer Life directory or the campground directions on how to get to this park. It takes you through downtown Gettysburg making turns that are nearly impossible. Our friends followed their GPS which took them halfway around the town square where they continued straight and up the hill by the Seminary and then turned left. They then turned right on Hwy 116 and avoided the very difficult turn in downtown Gettysburg. We really enjoyed this park. Our site was a back in near the entrance to the park. There was plenty of room for our 45 ft coach, and we were able to use our satellite. The owner was quite helpful and cut some tree limbs which would have hit the top of our motor coach when we backed in. They allowed us to look at some pull-through sites and then let us choose where we wanted to park. It is very convenient to the battlefields and town. They have a putt putt golf course and a large meadow (grassy area) which says no dogs are allowed, but we sure saw dogs playing there. They also have a large sandy play yard for kids. We were allowed to have a man come in and wash our RV while we were there, and there is an RV repairman on site. We didn't use his services, so I can't recommend him. This is a very clean, well-kept park. It isn't new, but they are working hard to make people happy while staying in their campground. I'd definitely stay in this park again.

This was our first stay at Gettysburg Campground and we will definitely return. We had a shady, stream-side, back-in site that was not overly spacious but was level due to the good layer of crushed stone. Trees made backing into our site a bit of a challenge but I think this was a function of our particular site. The office staff was extremely courteous, friendly and efficient. The campground store is well stocked with groceries, supplies and clothing. This family-oriented park and facilities are clean and exhibit evidence of ongoing maintenance to improve the campground. Most sites occupied by long term campers were well kept; only one or two were occupied by shabby-looking units. This park is not as close to Gettysburg as some others but this was not a negative for us. The owner himself is actively involved in the day-to-day running of this business and in my mind his attention to the customers is in marked contrast to parks owned by corporations.

We enjoyed our stay here. Staff was friendly and security patrolled at night. We went for Line Dancing theme weekend which we only watched. Activities were enjoyable. The fresh produce and baked goods for sale on Saturday were delicious and nice to have available. Bingo was run by Young Marines. These mature, young kids ran the Bingo better than most adults could! Bingo and dance was held in a comfortable, large recreation hall. The campground was graveled. The best sites seem to be by the creek. We had #220 which was very close to others behind us and next to us. It was shady. Bathrooms and showers were clean, but it seemed that they needed more of them. Campstore was smaller with a good selection of t-shirts and the like, but little groceries. Pool was nice and miniature golf was decent. They had a large open area for kids to play as well as a playground equipment. We will return, but will pick a better spot for us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We thoroughly enjoyed the place. We were along the stream which was tranquil and clear with a rocky bottom that looked like it probably harbored a lot of crayfish. Never did find the time to take our four year old down to the stream to catch anything because we found ourselves so busy doing everything else. Battleground tours (one on a bus and one on our own with a CD), 8 different museums, walking tour, shopping, eating. There's plenty to do and we tried to do it all! Sites at the campground were gravel and seemed pretty level, ours was very much so. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and well-maintained. Staff was excellent! Every single staff person was friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed the all-you-can-eat crab feast on Saturday. Camp store was small but well-stocked and there was a snack bar that served breakfast and lunch items as well as ice cream. Pool was clean but just a bit cold. It got colder during the week as the weather was fairly cool at night. Free WiFi, adequate if slightly old playground, small arcade, pay laundry room: this place pretty much has it all. If I had any one complaint it would be about the trees that drip sap. By the end of the week our cars and camper were covered with a thin coating of sticky tree sap. Of course I don't hold this against the campground unless they're able and unwilling to remove and replace all the trees. Overall this is a great campground. Whenever we go back to Gettysburg this is our home base. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Transient pull through sites with full hook up are limited in number. The nicer sites under the trees are just W/E. Site was a little small, but we fit in OK. The fiver behind us was within inches of our slide. When this area is full, lots of tow vehicles at the road edge makes hitching and unhitching a little tricky. Also, I did not care for the staggered orientation of the campsites, which caused us to be staring directly at our neighbor's "front yard" anytime we wanted to be outside. The site was predominately gravel and level, but not conducive to being outside. The staff was very helpful, and check in was easy. The grounds are well maintained, and there were adequate activities for the kids. This is an older park, that could use some updating, but it is very convenient to Gettysburg, and it is well cared for. The stream is fun for the kids, and my son caught a bass. I wouldn't come here as a destination campground or for relaxation, but as far as CGs go as a base of operations, I would not hesitate to stay here again when we come back to Gettysburg again.

Laundry room was spacious, clean and had an adequate number of washers and dryers. Grandsons liked the dance the evening we were here. Nice playground for lots of kids. This is a winner. Would stay here again to visit Gettysburg sites. This was Bike Week and many of the bikers were in this park. They were very nice to be around.

Stayed here for the Gettysburg reinactments over the fourth of July weekend. Park was very close to the reinactments as well as historical Gettysburg park. Our site was a premium along the stream. Many large trees made this site excellent for shade! Some people with large rigs had some trouble however. We did not with our 25 ft travel trailer. Even had room for an 8 person tent for the kids and a doggie pen, with still plenty of room! Site very roomy, level, and all rock with a tiny patch of grass. Would have preferred more grass. Campground was clean. Restrooms clean, pool clean. Staff very pleasant. Was given opportunity to reserve our same spot for next fourth of July weekend before they made it available to anyone, which was nice. We decided not to reserve as we might want to go elsewhere next fourth. We will be back however as this is a great park and one weekend is not enough to see all of or appreciate historical Gettysburg! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice park, staff was friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Roadway in is blacktop, the rest of the campground is stone. Lots of trees, which could make it a little difficult to back into a site. We had site #19, which is a back in. Most of the back ins are pretty short, cant park the truck in front of the camper, but plenty of room to park beside the camper. Wi-Fi is free and works fine, cable is $2.00 extra per night. Water and electric are fine even with the campground being almost full over the weekend. Campground is a little away from the battlefield, but we would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very large camp ground, and if you have children, this is the place to be. The security is very good. The sites were clean and shaded. The staff was very nice and helpful. The park is close to everything you would want to do Gettysburg and the surrounding area. We even took a day trip to Washington DC. It was a long drive into Maryland to take the metro to DC, but well worth the trip. They have chartered bus tours as well, if you would rather let someone else do the driving. The down side was that the Wi-Fi was not very good, so if you depend on a computer, this would be a problem. If you like cable TV: the channel selection is very limited. Over all it was a nice stay,and we would stay again if we pass through Gettysburg someday. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campground. The sites in the trees are a little tight but the owners do everything to make sure you get the fit you need. We were there for the 4th of July and the reenactments stuff they had on site was great! Plenty of activities for the kids and the creek along the back of the campground is great for kids and dogs. We have already booked for next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for the reenactment. It is a great location for that, in fact, very good location for everything in the area. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Pros: The staff; nice pool; level,gravel sites for pull through sites (and throughout the campground for that matter); clean restrooms; nice playground and rec hall;well stocked camp store with breakfast and lunch available (also ice cream parlor); holiday weekend (4th of July) many well designed activities for all ages; very pet friendly CONS: tight sites everywhere. Most sites are heavily wooded, many at odd angles; pull through sites back-to-back = very, very close to neighbor on the back side of rig, but sufficient room on the front - you could be facing a nasty neighbor! clean restrooms, but insufficient # of showers for such a large campground; pull thru sites have no shade; wooded sites useless for satellite tv; very, very limited cable stations (only 16!) for an extra fee. Overall, a decent campground made better by the quality of the staff and friendliness of the seasonal campers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground was very nice, clean, and the hospitality was great. The employers are very nice and do lend a helping hand when in need. It's close to downtown Gettysburg, even has a tour bus that picks you up right at campground to go to Washington DC. The only thing I see it might need is a ATM machine. Other than that, this is a Great Campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This was our first trailer camping experience, and we had a fairly good time; we visited Gettysburg sites and ate in town mostly. We wanted to get to know our camper. A camping neighbor helped us out when we had a little trouble, very friendly people! Our site was pretty close to everyone, not too much privacy or shade. Our trailers were facing, with our tables about 15 feet apart, fire pits less than that, and their Saturday night guests becoming ours. I had made a reservation online a couple weeks before. Now that I have been a few places, the restrooms were okay, but had quite a few ants. I wasn't motivated to use the shower, but my husband did without issue. We didn't attend any social activities, but they have them. There was a Civil War reenactment at the campground that weekend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed in a pull thru site for five days in June, 2009. The sites face each other. No privacy at all. Our fire ring was 34 inches from our neighbors. Not a good set up if you want a little space for yourself. Cable TV was an extra charge.I thought it was overpriced for what you got, which is basically a place to park. Not happy with this CG, Would not stay here again. Not the worst we have seen but this place is nothing special in my opinion.Kids complained about the playground because it is all metal and was too hot during the day to play on. Arcade had limited games. Not a destination CG. More of a place to base out of. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The camp personnel were most cordial and accommodating. They have been doing this a long time; they know what it takes to keep the business going and you happy. We were placed in a tree covered area on double sites (pull through type) in view of the stream. This was on the weekend of May 30 and 31. I do believe we received special treatment yet it seemed to be routine for the personnel. The ice cream is great too! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here for 4 nights. Cable TV has just gone in. Channels are limited. Apparently it will cost $2 per night when fully operational. Free wifi signal is strong, at least in the front of the campground, but we used our Verizon BB. You need to get a password in the office to use the WiFi. Nice, level gravel sites with good drainage. Most sites are well shaded, but there are some out in the full sun. Very convenient for visiting the Gettysburg Battlefield and other local attractions. Price is reasonable for the area. Discount is offered for AAA and AARP. Bath house is older but very clean and usable. Men's and women's both have 3 showers. Pets are welcome. There is a large playground. There are activities on Saturday in a gorgeous activities building, and they have a youth director on staff. Noise from the road is no issue at all with the exception of big trucks using Jake brakes. Clearly the owners are investing in their business. We plan to stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Tours to the battlefields are available right from the campground. Car rentals will even come to "Pick you up" if you decide to rent a car. The gift shop is great, better prices then downtown!

We visited over the Easter weekend. Very kid friendly park. Staff was very accommodating to the children. We appreciated the staff suggesting our 8 year old put her helmet on when she was riding her bicycle (not in a pushy, but kind way). The Easter family-planned activities were well-conducted and the we all enjoyed them. Wifi was spotty, at best. The sites themselves were relatively small. The cleanliness of the campground, the friendliness of the staff, and the convenience of the sights of Gettysburg combined to make an enjoyable extended weekend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very well run campground. The owners are very friendly and helpful. There are some sites right along the stream/river. Some of the pull through sites are a little tight. There are some seasonal campers but they are not the majority. We were there at the beginning of the season (first week in April) and it was about half full. I would recommend reservations in the summer. Nice, family atmosphere. About 1 mile from downtown Gettysburg and you can purchase tickets at the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very good park. The sites are big enough for large RVs especially in the sun deck area which are full hook up and have a concrete patio at each site. Many sites are located in the woods, and from the looks, some might be a challenge for a larger RV but would definitely be shaded in the summertime. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Of course this and other area campgrounds are here for use during touring the battlefield, and it is in an ideal location; far enough away to avoid the crowds but still close enough to quickly get to the battlefield. Incidentally the newly opened visitors center is almost worth the trip by itself. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Still an A+++++ campground but they have now completed their mini golf which is great, we used the pool which was very clean. After the jello eating contest I think the pool was a good idea:) We booked for Labor Day next year already and we are really looking forward to our Halloween camping weekend. They have a movie room which was only supposed to be open until 10 PM but they kept it open for the die-hard NASCAR fans to watch the race. Thank you. Mr Adams and his family are wonderful people and even on their busiest days do everything they can to help you.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful both on the phone making reservations, and in person at the campground. We were allowed to look at all of the available sites when we arrived and choose the one we liked. Our site (#46) was a shaded pull-through with full hook ups, was level, and allowed easy access. Completely unshaded sites, referred to as the "sun deck", were available, but we were glad to be in the shade in the 95 plus degree heat and high humidity. The campground store was organized and well-stocked with the basics in addition to souvenirs. We didn't get a chance to try it, but they do offer hand-dipped ice cream in a small cafe-style seating area next to the store. The campground is only minutes from downtown Gettysburg and all of the Civil War history you care to take in. Our overall experience here was very good and the campground offered some nice amenities such as a clean pool, putt-putt-golf, and a playground. Our 3.5 year old greatly enjoyed the pool. We would absolutely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is fantastic and the owners went out of their way to accommodate their campers. We loved this campsite so much that we went two weekends in a row and have already booked for October. There are so many different activities planned each weekend that you don't have to leave the grounds. We went on kids weekend and our children loved it, from the ceramics to "Bobs critters" a great time was had by all. During one of our nights there we had an awful storm and the Adams family opened the recreation center for a group of Marines who were camping in the primitive area. We would highly recommend this campground. A++++++++++++ We camped here in a Tent.

We had always visited Gettysburg, but in hotel rooms. Decided to camp last year for a week. This place was pretty nice, but we had no heads up that we were camping during bike week. (We're not bikers) Nothing against bike week, but that's not what we went there to see. Sites were uneven, and the hook-ups were not centralized. Water way over there, sewer way over here, and the electric all the way over there. So bring lots of hose and extensions and leveling equipment. Pool was nice and there was plenty to do. Loved the miniature golf. There was a beautiful Herron in the pond every morning. The store was above average, could use more camping implements though. If you stay here in the summer, the produce market across the street is a must. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We really liked this park. We had a site on the creek which was large, shaded and peaceful. They have an area that is open and sunny but we prefer to camp in the woods. The sites directly on the creek vary in size and not all have full hookups. All sites on the creek side of the campground are shaded. We had a water/electric site that was very nice. It was not a problem because they have two very nice pump outs. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The store is well stocked. There is a large playground, pool, miniature golf and shuffle board. We are older, have no kids, but like to walk our dog. The dog area was not too far away from our campsite. There are roped off pass thru walkways in different areas that run right next to some campsites and several campsites back right up to the bath house. We would not like all the foot traffic that close to our site but I guess it's a good way to meet people. If that sort of thing bothers you then check the campground map and avoid those sites. Most site are average size, some are large and a few are very small so be sure to give the correct size of your rig so they can get you into a suitable site. There are no tv hookups so we had to depend on our antenna. Reception was bad and we were only able to tune in one station but then we were not there to watch tv. We enjoyed this park and plan to return often. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here to visit the Colorfest in Thurmont Maryland. This was our 1st time in this campground and my wife an I enjoyed the stay - it was quite relaxing. They had a number of activities during the weekend and announced them over a PA system. Not surprising, most were geared to the younger campers. We made reservations late so were unable to secure a site with sewer - their dump stations were well situated and easy to use on way out of campground. The sites were in trees and level. We did have to buy an additional hose and extension cord because of where the connections were. We had unpacked extras just before this trip - make sure you take extra hose/extension cord.

We had a pretty long walk to the restrooms -- I can't imagine for the tent sites. Although we liked our shady level site, we decided that next time we try for a creekside site. Very lovely. The bathhouse toilet stalls were small, but were relatively clean. The store and ice cream parlor were very nice, and we really enjoyed the bingo activities and pool.

We did not have a very enjoyable time at this campground , as a matter of fact we left 2 days before we were supposed to. After driving 3 1/2 hours home I figured I would give them the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to the campground "may" have overbooked and not had enough staff to keep things cleaned up. The bathrooms were disgusting , there was mold on the shower curtains , and toilet paper piled around the toilet. The campsites seemed to be small, almost like they tried to get 2 spots out of what normally is 1. I was also told by my fiance that there was dried blood near the swimming area (she worked in an e.r. so she knows what dried blood looks like) I can only hope that this was a "off" day for this campground and that no one else would have to go through the same thing.

Nice campground. Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Owner and staff check the grounds frequently and stop to talk to see how things are going. Although we didn't hear the commotion, the owner did ask one unit of campers to leave because they were being very rowdy after quiet time. Some sites did not seem to be very level. The tent area is very nice, but a long walk to the bath house. Chemical toilets are nearby. Only reason for not giving a 10 is that we had trouble getting into our spot. The nice man across from us moved his truck so we could use part of his space to back in (trees were in the way). Once we were parked the front of our trailer was only a foot off the road, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to open our awning due to the electric pole, but we had lots of room behind our camper for our campfire. Sites are very close to your neighbors. The pool is nice; the owner checks to make sure kids under 14 are w/ an adult. Nice playground, volleyball court, softball field and putt putt. Activities all weekend long provided fun entertainment for all ages. $36 fee for electric and water only. We will definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Granted, we lucked into one of the sites right on the creek. Very quiet, all we could hear were the birds chirping and the fish jumping. Our taste runs to rustic rather than RV resorts, so this place rates a 10. The new owners (one year) are very friendly and helpful. They've also added free (secure) Wi-Fi throughout the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campground has new onwers (I think this is their second year)and they are trying their best to make everyone feel at home. The owner is always riding around to see if everything is ok and if anyone needs help. They are working on all areas of the park to keep everything clean and up-to-date. This campground has become a staple for my family and friends. We go here many times a year, but book early word is getting out. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Real nice,clean park located about 3 miles from the center of town. Owners seem to be very caring people, eager to keep campers happy. Many wooded sites and some out in the open as well, campground is on the smaller size, maybe that's why you don't even see a cigarette butt on the ground. On Sat. night they had a mind reader for entertainment, a lot of fun! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

First off, the nightly rate I listed is for a full-hook campsite. We stayed in a full-service cottage which cost $100.00 a night and everything was provided for you except pillows, blankets linens and towels...pots and pans, silverware, coffee maker, toaster everything was there for your use. There was a full size bed in the great room and two sets of bunks in the private room. It had a bathroom with shower and it was air conditioned plus had a ceiling fan and light. It also had a large size covered front porch with Adirondack chairs to sit in. We arrived at this campground approximately 2 hours before check in and they had no problem allowing us to go to our site without charging us an early check in. We were staying in one of two of their cottages, which turned out to be great, because the entire week we were there it was 90 plus degrees, high humidity and the air conditioning was a blessing! I would have given this campground a 10, but the only problem I had was cleaning up black ant carcasses a few times a day in the cottage. The management had told me that they were aware of an infestation of black ants and had exterminators spray and that did work, the only problem was they decided to come out into the middle of the great room's floor and die, lol. But, at least I can say they were aware of the problem and did something about it. The campground itself, has a large amount of open sites and shaded sites so you have your pick and for the most part from what I saw they were spacious and they also have a secluded primitive tenting area as well, but you can also tent in practically any site you wish if you don't like the primitive area. You can also have a site along Marsh Creek where you can fish (PA fishing license required)or you can have a site closer to the pool. They have a movie every evening and also have mini golf, shuffle board, horseshoes, sand volleyball court, a game room and a playground for the times when you need something to do when you're not visiting Gettysburg, which is only 3 miles away. They also have planned activities for the weekends. They also have a nice little camp store and an ice cream parlor. I would definitely stay here again! We camped here in a .

This is a nice family campground. We camped here in a fifth-wheel for 8 days in 2004 and again in 2005, with grandchildren both times. There is enough here to keep the kids content and busy. There are also special events and activities for both young and old. Park management is very helpful, and facilities are in good condition. The park was not full when we camped in June, but it might be pretty crowded when there are special events going on in Gettysburg. We hope to return again next June. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites come with picnic table and fire ring. Cable was pretty good with a decent amount of channels. Office staff was friendly. Lots of activities for the kids.

Celebrated Easter in Gettysburg PA and chose Granite Hill as the campground. Sites are level and well kept. We arrived prior to their official spring opening, and they were working hard. Bathrooms were very clean, and it took a while to get hot shower water but when it arrived it was hot and plentiful. Camp store was very well stocked and reasonable on pricing. Staff was friendly and outgoing. Great location to explore Gettysburg from. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a pretty campground but please know they are partial to their regulars. Even though we stayed three weeks, they would not give us one of the premium sites which are empty all week except for the weekends. Many permanents here. Beautiful pond, pool, and children's activities plentiful. Don't bother with their little restaurant. Cable only works in the premium site. Wi-Fi only at office. Our Verizon Wi-Fi and cellphones were very spotty here. Good access to Gettysburg battlefield. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It is a nice park, but I do not liked to be "tricked". There are several sites available and the place was almost vacant. The person that checked us in was rude and told us if we wanted wood it was $6.95 per five pieces or $27.00 delivered to the site. She said they had WI-FI, but did not tell us that is was available at the office only. She also said there was cable TV, but after we set up we found it was available only at certain sites around where they parked class "A". On our second day there we told them they advertised WI-FI and cable TV in the Good Sam book and on their web site. The lady said they would try and get around to change that. I will not stay there again We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very large beautiful campground. We had a narrow, very woodsy site with a great stone fire pit behind the camper just down small set of rocky stairs. Kids LOVED this site. Learned when we were there we were not in the "main campground" area, but near the "post" section. The place is so big we wouldn't have found the main section if someone didn't tell us. It rained a lot, so we didn't get to do some of the things offered here, paddle boats, shuffle board, mini-golf and more. Only gave the campground a 7 due to no Wi-Fi and just ho hum store & mostly clean bathhouse(only in one though). Stayed here to go to the Apple Festival which was a lot of fun. We will return to the festival next year, and would stay here again due to the beauty of this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were actually booked at another campground and had to move to this one due to flooding, the management went above and beyond to help our group salvage what we thought was going to be a washout weekend. They even put down fresh stone so that we could get around the site because of all the mud from the heavy rains, they even let us use another site to use for our ez ups and a place to eat and have our fire. We look forward to camping here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a large park and the off season help obviously didn't regularly maintain or clean the restrooms in the main building. We tried one of the satellite buildings and it was much better. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. They even opened the mini-golf so we could play a round with our kids. Good location and easy to navigate. Thought it was a bit pricey for off season. I'll be back next time we're in Gettysburg. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Came to Granite Hill for a family reunion/Halloween get together. We traveled all the way from SC. for a weekend of tricks and treats. The campground is very nice. Office staff friendly and very informative. They escorted us to our site and offered their help. The staff we rate a 10. The activities for the children are a 10. The site we were in was OK, uneven and small, however there was a large field behind us. We took a tour of the battlefield and really enjoyed it. We had a blast and plan on traveling those 532 miles again next year! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We made reservations the night before and arrived after office hours. Staff had a map waiting for us with directions to our site. This is a hilly area and site was not very level, but we managed to level out. We did see other sites which may have been more level.

Stayed here over Memorial Day Weekend. Lots of green areas and multiple playgrounds which kept the kids happy all weekend. However, we were very disappointed with the number of restroom, the cleanliness (or should I say cleanliless) of the restrooms and showers, and the lack of any hot water in the showers. We were also upset that they charge an internet fee regardless of use, and then it is only available in a small area by the office. The campground has potential to be nice but we will not return. There are just too many nicer campgrounds in the area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a large campground that is very busy on weekends. However, it is well-maintained and very kid and dog friendly. The full hook-up, pull through sites that can accommodate big rigs are near the front of the park and relatively close together. The main reason I did not give this a higher rating was that the 50 amp service to our site (B-1)was faulty, and I had to work with the campground maintenance staff to show them that one leg of the 50-amp disconnect was seriously under-voltage. Thank goodness for our hard-wired power monitoring system. Overall a good jumping-off point for seeing the sites of Gettysburg. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Their website said they had Wi-Fi internet at each site. According to 2 employees, they did not know that the internet was not working. A third said it has never worked since it was installed last year. The party in the site next to mine said the Wi-Fi had not worked for the week he had been there. When I made my reservation the day before we arrived, I was assured that they had Wi-Fi at each site and it was working. Also, the B section was very rough and uneven. I did not see a site that was anywhere near level. I would not recommend this camp to anyone. We stayed 2 nights. This is one of the worst campgrounds I have stayed in due to lack of Wi-Fi, uneven campsites and employees who appear to be lying. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My family stayed here over the Labor Day weekend. We were in the "Post" sites with sewer and the sites were much too tight for our liking. Also, all of the hookups were in odd places-our 25' electrical cord wasn't long enough. Not that this campground doesn't have large, beautiful sites, they do in the "B" section-which all also had cable as well. Camp store seemed to be well stocked, nice activity schedule, mini golf, 2 nice ponds, very quiet during "quiet" hours and lots and lots to do nearby in Gettysburg which is 5 miles from the entrance. This is a park in which you can stay longer than a weekend and still have plenty to do. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here over a weekend before summer vacation started, with our 2 small children. We liked our site #B30, it was wooded and semi-private. Nice space between sites. The campground was a hit with our small children, they enjoyed the pool, paddle boats, mini-golf, and the 3 different playground areas. It was a bit of a walk from our site to the pool and play areas. The game room is small. The only negative over this weekend was that there were a lot of unattended, young children riding bikes around the campground. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a great campground and we had a great spot (#81). We drove around and looked at the other campgrounds in Gettysburg and we felt Granite Hill was by far the very best. The staff was nice and facilities were clean. A great deal of grassy space for kids to run around and space between campers. The park seems a little more like a park than a trailer park. It is an older facility but again, it does not feel like a trailer park. It is very shaded and wooded in many areas. We highly recommend it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice place if you like camping in the 'city' with hundreds of other people. It's a great family/kids park and one with a sense of 'community.' There's so much to do here, the kids will never get bored. And it seems very well guarded and safe. We were put in the overflow area because it was completely full. Overflow was a much better place, because we had a huge field away from the crowds and almost to ourselves. The pricing, though, is beyond ridiculous. $32/night, plus $8/night per extra person, $5 for any one who comes up for the day; and that's for tent/dry camping; and you pay for all three nights (holiday weekend) regardless if you're staying one or 3. But, if you're a family, you get a lot for the fee. They had older showers that only ran when you hold the valve on. A newer shower building was nice and clean, but pretty small. I rate it high because, while it's high-priced, it really is a very nice family park if you like camping in the 'city.' We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We spent Memorial Day weekend here in 2007 and had SO much fun that we returned for July 4th. The staff was friendly, informative, knowledgeable, and helpful. The grounds were well kept and maintained. The facilities were clean and plentiful. Everything about Gettysburg is close enough to be convenient yet far enough away to keep the grounds quiet. The two weekends we were here they were very full, yet we never felt squeezed in. There were plenty of activities if you stayed on site and the area around Gettysburg is bustling with fun and historical things to do. We have three children from 12 to 16 years old and they had a great time, as did the adults. We will be back many more times, for sure. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed for a weekend in September for the Pet Lovers Weekend, which consisted of one woman with her dog providing advice based on her self- taught knowledge. Some of the play equipment is extremely rusty and old which stained my daughter's clothes. There were other playgrounds that were newer. The mini golf was very expensive and the course was not very well kept. The office employees were not as friendly as they could have been, but I wouldn't say they were rude.

They had a DJ one night but other than that not much else in the way of activities. Site we had (B2) was a pull thru and spacious. Had a good view and plenty of breeze.

We arrived on a Friday 3 hours prior to check in and they did not charge any extra. The site was very spacious #94. There were 4 playgrounds, 2 which were new the kids loved the huge ship and castle. The pool was smaller then it looked in the pictures. They run a day camp during the week and the pool was cloudy. The staff was friendly. We rented the kayaks and paddle boats which cost $4 per half an hour. My 3 kids went back and forth between the kayaks and paddle boats. The girl working that section was very nice she played and joked around with my kids. She even let us have extra time. The golf course was also really nice. The only complaint we really have is that all the dumpsters were overflowing by Sunday morning. There were bags of trash on the ground around them. The CG wasn't full so I can't imagine how much trash would be piled up on a really busy weekend. There were not as many kids at this CG compared to the ones we usually go to. It was a lot of older people and it was very quiet. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were lucky to park across for a small group of inconsiderate drunks. They brought their Pit Bulls and chained them to the back side of there campers, so they did not have to cleanup after them. The campground management did not care, that one couple had to exit their motorhome with a hammer in their hand. The staff was not very friendly! Please do not show up 10 minutes before check in time. For if your not a regular, they will charge to an additional day charge. This will be our last stay at this Campground..

We just got back from their Easter weekend and I have to say that I was not impressed at all. There were only two real Easter activities, a craft session and egg hunt. That was pretty much it. I have to say that my main problem with this campground has to be the lack of any kind of updates to the buildings and playgrounds. Everything was old and dilapidated. The playground was half falling apart and looked as if it was there since the 1970s. The lime green paint was peeling off all the equipment and inside the tube on the slide was all kinds of graphic graffiti. Luckily my 4 year old daughter cant read yet but I guarantee there were some older kids who did get an eye full going down the slide. In my opinion there is no excuse for that. This is a playground for children and I feel that the campground has a responsibility to clean off those type of foul words where children are playing. It looked as though this graffiti had been there a while. On the positive side, the bathrooms were clean and looked to be somewhat updated and the staff was friendly. The camp store stocked most things you might forget, although charged you an arm and a leg for almost everything. The snack bar was nice and offered ice cream and other treats. The game room was pretty skimpy with only three video games, one skee ball game and a pool table. Not much of a game room! Since it was April, the pool was closed but seemed very small with the number of camp sites they offer. I can imagine the pool gets very crowded during the summer months. When we go back to Gettysburg, well definitely stay somewhere else. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We called Granite Hill just before the busy Apple Fest weekend because we discovered after arriving that the state park we planned to stay at prohibits all pets (no dogs, no cats, no hamsters, birds or any other caged animals) and while the Granite Hill staff was very helpful and pleasant on the phone the site that was assigned us was completely unsuitable for our RV. We only have a 30 ft class A but the space (B18) sloped severely from side to side and dropped off steeply in the front, the useful area was not nearly big enough for us. B18 also had a tree with very low branches that encroached on the site. Perhaps a pop-up could use that space but not without a serious leveling effort. We asked for another site and they had one more option for us. This site did not have a tree but seemed short and had a significant slope from side to side. We appreciated the fact that were given a refund with no problem when we opted not to stay. Granite Hills looks like a very nice park but even small motorhomes might want to be cautious of sites B11 through B18. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Arrvived after dafrk in motorhome. Staff would not show the way to campsite. Map was provided. Very dark conditions. Camp sign for site locations not lit up - very difficult to read, low hanging branches, site numbers on utility stand in middle of very large and nice sites. Impossible to see numbers in the dark. Driving around hit a truck that was just over the lot into the street. No real damage to truck but ruined a side section of my motorhome. When I expressed my situation to the ladies at the desk, I got no reaction other than "we usually do not escort people to the sites". Very nice couple who run the snack bar. Lake had so much pollen/scum on surface that was uninviting to take out paddleboats. Good recreational activities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here to check out the campground to use for our annual rally. We planned on having about 40 units for the rally. When we made reservations we told the campground that we needed tow sites right next to each other. Of course this was "no problem". When we arrived we were told to "hold" the site next to use for our travelling companions who would be arriving soon. In a short time a big oversized bus tries to pull into the site that we were told to "hold" They got security involved and we found out that there were not even assigned sites, but rather something they called "poles" which were for four sites. The security man told us that is was just too bad and we could move to another pole and then be near our travelling companions. The front office was no help at all, a phone call after the event to the owners was not followed up on. Needless to say, we did NOT have our rally at this campground. I also found out that all of the campgrounds in the Gettysburg area charge a 10% occupancy tax in addition to the high priced camping fees. I will never stay at this campground again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Staff was friendly and somewhat helpful. We stayed at this campground 10 years ago and since then, this place has gone down hill. Restrooms were filthy and disgusting, along with not enough bathrooms at campground,and showers did not work or were clogged all three days. Trash cans were not emptied regulary. Rec. room was run down and most games broken. Very little for kids to do other than the pool. Will not be going back again until some heavy duty renovation is done. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Needed some maintenance and a good spring cleaning. New electric hookup mounted on a tree, rusty old hookup beside tree. Electric lines zig zagged overhead. Sewer hookup covered with a rock. Rusty pipe sticking up in the ground. Site hard to back into because of closeness of sites across road. Computer system could only handle 1 person at a time for check-in and store purchases. The lots were fairly level and graveled, but covered in tree debris. Pleanty of activities for youngsters. They had bingo on Friday and a DJ on Saturday. About 20 minutes from downtown Getteysburg. Directions from US 15 from Washington DC are missing the Rt 140 turnoff which connects you to PA RT 16. Will probably not return this season. Maybe next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If I could give this a minus # it would still be too much. The office people were horrible to us. Treated us like intruders. There were four families and we were given the most awful sites, exposed excavation, open holes, wires sticking out just to mention a few of the obstacles. They locked up tight on Easter(YES,THATS RIGHT, CLOSED UP) with no one in charge or any activity available. We were warned not to use the lake(?). My daughter never got her Good Sam discount. Complained to Good Sam but nothing was done. The office personnel at the campground told her that if she didn't like it she could turn around and go home. So much for hospitality after traveling almost 4 hours with 3 small children. The place is old and I'm still not sure why they run this place if they hate people so much. Campers beware - stay somewhere else. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent park with great wooded and non-wooded sites. Leveling Blocks may be required
for some hilly spots. Lots have plenty of space and the wooded areas are unique. Tractor is available to help negotiate large trailers and rigs into tree areas. Staff is friendly and cares about their guests with extra activities for kids and families. Clean private showers are separate from the clean bathroom area. GREAT park, they go the extra mile to make their campers happy! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed overnight just to prepare our travel trailer for the winter. The owners and office manager were very nice. As stated, it is mostly seasonal and permanent trailers here. Not a problem so late in the season, but may pose an issue on crowded summer weekends. Our site was a level pull through at the front of this park, near the office. Wi-Fi worked well for us. Used the bathroom once and it was clean. The pool appeared to be large, but maybe not enough for all the summer campers. We would stay in the off season again, but not in the summer.

We were traveling to Gettysburg and found that Round Top was the ONLY campground we were able to reserve a site for in October. Every campground in Gettysburg runs Halloween Weekends the entire month of October and book up early. We were lucky in that someone on a seasonal site had pulled out early. There are a LOT of seasonal campers in this campground. In fact, after my stay, I received an email from the campground inviting me to "go seasonal". We camped on a back-in site that had a concrete pad. It was sufficient for our needs in a 40 foot motorhome. We were parked next to a park model trailer that had been there for some time with several associated out-buildings and sheds. A few of the seasonal units looked like they had been there a very long time, but I didn't really notice anything messy in the area of our site. The electric worked well and the sewer connection was in a good location. I was not charged additional for cable that I'm aware of, but it is a pricy campground. Our site was fairly close to 15 and you do hear a lot of traffic noise. Inside, not so much. If you sleep with your windows open, it might be a problem. The roads are pretty narrow and winding and there are some sites better suited for smaller rigs (although the office knows this and won't try to put you on a site where you will not fit). The folks in the office were very friendly and provided some good advice for sightseeing in the area. I did not try to use the WIFI, although one of the repeaters was on the shower house a few sites away from me. I think it would work well. They use Tengonet, so if you have an account it should work fine. If I go to Gettysburg again, I'd go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Much of the park looks like a permanent residence trailer park: many people live here as their main residence. A lot of junk around those sites: piled up and it appears the junk has been there for awhile. The campers we met were nice, some were seasonal and many of those sites were ok, others seasonal sites were messy as well. They need to get serious about cleaning up the campground. It has potential, but it is not that nice at this time. Wi-Fi is not free, which was a surprise. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Friendly staff and good interior roads. There was a nice swimming pool and it was well maintained. The Internet service (Wi-Fi) was expensive so we did not use it. The camp site was a level pull through. We had stayed at this campground twice before and we did notice some site power improvements. Many sites have been converted to permanent residents leaving apparently few daily or weekly camp sites. There are some shade trees on the sites. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a pretty nice park. Everything worked and the site was level. Here is why we have given it a lower rating. Too expensive. If you are going to charge so much, cable TV and Wi-Fi should be included. Cable was extra which we paid for and Wi-Fi was extra which we didn't pay for. Our sewer dump was slightly higher than our outlet, so we were unable to totally empty our tanks. The short term sites are right next to Rt 15. There was lots of traffic noise. We would stay again, but only if there wasn't a better alternative We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here over July 4 weekend so it was busy but that did not have any effect on the issues that I had with this campground. First, the showers were freezing cold. We tried using them at different times and they were always cold. Not a drop of hot water in the men's or women's bathroom. Also, there aren't enough bathrooms in this campground. We stayed in a travel trailer and the closest bathroom was a far walk. It was easier to drive to the bathrooms. Our site was also very difficult to pull into as we had small trees lining the site. Campsites are small and close together. We will not be staying here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The campground is ok. There are a very large number of seasonals and some of them were not very friendly. The sites are very tight but that seems to be a common issue with a lot of campgrounds. Just hope you have a friendly neighbor because you are in their living room most of the stay. The bathrooms were decent and fairly clean. The pool was great and so was the playground for the kids. The site was level but tailed off pretty well in the back. This created problems for me since my stabilizers are clear in the back and I have to put a lot of blocking under them to set them. The sewer connection stuck out of the ground quite a bit and since mine sits low it was a bit of a problem. You had to pay for wifi and we did not have cable but you did get about 12 stations over the air. I wanted to be closer to the battlefield but we were not all that far ~3mi but it made it impossible to ride bikes up to it. The staff was friendly and we had no problems there. If we do go back we will probably try to stay somewhere closer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

First I would like to say my rating was not for the condition of the campground as it is very well maintained. I would give the condition a nine. My rating is for the discomfort I experienced during our stay. Because we could not stay at the campground we wanted, we opted to stay here as they had openings, so I broke my number one rule. Never stay at a campground that has cabins mixed in with the campsites? I have found that for the most part the people that use these cabins are only here to party and have no respect (camper etiquette) for their neighbors? Our cabin Neighbors were going to a monster truck rally and thought we were entitled to a demo at the campground? If you like large diesel trucks coming and going all night, it would have been great? There were also large campfires, stoked with whole wooden pallets. We experienced noxious fumes from many fires burning who knows what? The dog on leash law was not heeded as most of the seasonal campers and cabin people have never read the rules, a huge Rotweiler attacked my Goldens and was only called back at the last minute. I reported this and the truck problem to the office, only to be blown off? The traffic noise from 15 is also a little loud if you stay in the 200 series campsites. Of course these are the ones left open for the transients as the seasonals campers have taken the good ones away from the noise? If you go, (I probably won't again) be ready for rude cabin people and also seasonal campers who ignore you and the rules? We had stayed here many years ago with a club and had used the pull throughs up by the office. They seemed fine at the time, and may be less noisier, but the entrance and exit roads surround you on these sites, front and back. Also, when making reservations, make sure you include any coupons as they are not valid later, and be prepared for them to take your full amount out if using plastic. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is for the most part very clean and has most of its roads paved. There was a lot of seasonal campers there as well as cabin and park models. Some of the sites are on a higher level and look down on other sites. The road noise from Route 15 from site 197 was constant. Even with the air conditioning on you can hear trucks and cars on it. They have a strict pet policy, not more than two dogs and NO outside cages. Just behind our site the person had a dog cage about 4 foot by 12 foot and 4 dogs. There were a LOT of seasonal campers there, obvious by porches, sheds, etc. on sites. I recommend you park and go look at your site before paying if there more than a day or two. It was a convenient campground for visiting Gettysburg and I would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

For an older campground I think this is the best in the area. I have seen most of the other campgrounds in Gettysburg and this is the most relaxing. No fast golf carts, and not over crowded. Staff friendly and sites on lower level 200 section are very nice. Even the sites by route 15 are not bad. Noise is to a minimum. It seems to be a slower pace at this campground over the others and thats how I like it. The other campers in the area seemed to keep the sites clean and they were also friendly. This was our third trip and we will go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a "so-so" park in my opinion, somewhat overpriced for the amenities that are important to me. There is a large pool, and a game room for teenagers, which I guess is good. Most of the sites are seasonal and the short-term spaces are dark and crowded. The restrooms are very clean, as are the showers. WiFi is an extra $5 per night and the cable offerings were minimal. It's a mile + walk (w/o sidewalks or shoulder) to the battlefields. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The interior gravel/blacktop roads could stand a little improvement. The camp sites were clean and well maintained. We did have some power issues with blowing the circuit breaker not at our camp site but at the main power supply control panel. We had to reset it several times it was old and weak and needed to be replaced. The night rate is based on a monthly cost. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed here several times and found it to be a nice place to stay for trips in and around the Gettysburg area. It is close to many area attractions and has pleasant surroundings. The sites are a nice size. It does have a large amount of permanents but these seem to be well kept. The only problem we found was that on one fall visit, the staff and burned the leaves and distributed them in the sites. This made for a messy business when going in and out of the camper. The bathrooms are older but always clean. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The park could be a terrific place to camp but apparently has fallen into a somewhat sorry state. While we were there over the 4th of July holiday (a monstrous holiday in Gettysburg) the office was typically closing before 8 pm. The snack bar usually was not open and didn't open at all on the 4th. The bathrooms were relatively clean, but certainly could use more attention. The main shower/washroom had no screens and needed more cleaning cuz of the dead bugs & stuff. The sites need some upkeep. One nearby camper was greeted with cobwebs all over his utility pole and found that there was no power available when he closed his local breaker. By the way, although this camp is supposed to be a "Good Sam" park, all good sam members are apparently being told that the usual discounts do not apply on holidays. I have been told this is against Good Sam policy. The only positive thing to report is that the new pool was very clean and wonderful. It is a real shame that this park with its great location has fallen to this state. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Enjoyed a 10 day stay during reenactment in 2002 - returning for same in 2003. Good interior roads make room for larger rigs. Many level sites. Cable TV adequate. Rest rooms cleaned at least twice a day - good hot water for showers. Nice pool area and camp store with snack bar and ice cream. Good mini-golf set up Family friendly - staff very cooperative and helpful Very close to battlefield - can pick up self-guided tour very easily. Very close to outlet shopping. Real discount during the week (20%). Makes a week long stay a day cheaper! Have stayed at other campgrounds around Gettysburg - enjoyed our stay here the best. Great location, friendly and clean.
