fortpartyof4 108 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Stayed here in July. LOVED it! Great CG!! Pictures are not good, but we were too busy having fun what little time we were there. We spent a lot of time touring the battlefields and visiting all the museums in town.Main drive.Perimeter roadPoolPlaygroundYou can see in most of these they have pedal carts for rent. Also putt putt and a hayride, which we missed since we were off touring all day. The road they're going down here was our section. Lots of trees for shade! Nice level sites.They have cabins for rent. There is one in the background here:There is one of the bathhouses and I am not sure what that big building is - some kind of hall. Rallies maybe?Best of all, this is right around the corner:And this is 45 min. to an hour away:Again, this was a great place. Clean, well maintained. Super friendly and helpful staff. One guy even printed Hershey park coupons from the Internet for me.The only downside was there was some major road work/bridge work just outside the entry which made it a little nerve wracking, but it was navigable. We had plenty of neighbors with land yachts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fortpartyof4 108 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Always wanted to see Gettysburg Battle Field. Looks like a class A1 Campground.Glad ya'll had a good time. :)We did. I love going to historical places, forts, national parks. This was one of my favorite trips ever. You should go if you get the chance. It is humbling and educational.None of the CG's we stayed at this summer were overly elaborate or anything (except the Fort!), but it really makes a huge difference when the owners/managers really care about their guests.

parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 We've stated at Gettysburg Campground and liked it. We like the KOA better, but the price was higher this year.Best Regards, Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Looks like a very nice campground! I loved touring Gettysburg and want to go back. Knowing that there is nice place to camp nearby will make a future trip more enticing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fortpartyof4 108 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 There's another really popular one called "Drummer Boy" that people like a lot. It's larger and has more amenities. But it also looked like the sites were out in the open and we liked the trees here. And the price here.I looked at the KOA. It looked really nice and fun for the kids. Honestly, the reason I didn't consider it was because they don't allow any alcohol at all. I know that sounds lame to some folks, but we do enjoy our beer when we're camping.There are quite a few CG's in the Gettysburg/Hershey area. I am sure we'll be back. I love it there in the summer.

disney4dan 68 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Looks like a really nice trip. Our Boy Scout troop is looking to go to Gettysburg next April vacation and I may have some questions for the folks who have been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The stream was very calm and shallow when we were there.How was Granite Hill? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
