Gettysburg/Battlefield KOA

Me Mike and Ashley Gallagher stayed THERE for 3 days AND 2 nights we had a great time THERE the cabin was cool then we went to see the Battlefield was so COOL the little town we went to was cool resenting to this Haunted house then they turned off the lights Ashley Gallagher was scared we have good time THERE

I’m hovering between 3 and 4 stars. As far as campgrounds go, pretty clean, and very quiet after dark. Ton of kids, KOAs are of course, designed for family camping. I thought the camp spots were a little snug, but up the road most of the other places are even more tight and have zero in the way of foliage. So this makes it feel a bit more like camping. Not far from town if you want to tour, though pricier than your state parks in the way of camping. We went on sort of a BOGO weekend, and that’s about all I want to spend on it. It’s nice that KOA has a brand to stick with, so you always know what to expect, but I don’t think it’s for us.
It gets 4 because it’s a nice campsite, near the town and battlefield, and it’s not really their fault that it wasn’t right for us. They didn’t do anything wrong. I would still recommend. I was a huge fan of the dog park, though.

Overall a standard KOA w some things done well, w a couple small problems. Clean and unique sites that are formed w rock formations. Lots of shade. Crushed rock everywhere, so no mud. But walking in rock all the time gets old. Also, no big open area for kids to play. Rocks are Hard on our old dogs feet.
Pancakes are 3.50 $. I am used to them being free at a KOA. Decent store and games. They are all well maintained.
10 min drive to Gettysburg.
I would recommend it but beware of all the rocks in sites and all the roads. (tent areas are very nice and flat w dirt, gravel surface)
One older bathroom and one really nice building w 4 shower/​bathroom combinations.
Oh, yes… my 1^st night I broke a key to my storage and Skip dug one out of his bag of keys and gave it to me.

This camp site has a lot to offer! All the necessities are available. Camp kitchen, Coin up laundry, free showers. We really like the stone fire pits. The cabins look adorable! This camp ground really has it together! The weekend proved to be even more worth the visit here. lots to offer including night time civil war ghost stories and all you can eat Pancake breakfast for minimal fee of $ 3.00. We tent camped and the only thing I don’t like is the bluestone gravel, and the dogs didn’t want any part of walking on it any longer after 5 days. It was also very difficult to stake in. Price varies according to season and night. But certainly reasonable. We even purchased a KOA membership so we can earn points. We’ll be back!

We enjoyed our time and would definitely go back! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The tent site was nice and secluded. We had a very nice stay there for two nights.

First, let me state we are not giving this 5 stars because it is some sort of 5 star camping resort. We just love camping at this place because it perfectly suits our family, and it is one of two campgrounds we keep returning to. Probably every family that camps out there has one of these, I would think. Maybe you might feel the same, let me explain why it is this one for us and why I would give it 5 stars.
It is the whole package in the aggregate, which starts with consistently extremely friendly and helpful staff (shout out to Bryan, you rock!). As another reviewer noted, we love that every site is wooded and has shade. It is true the sites are smallish and can be close, but they make the best of what they have — because of the trees and some rock formations there is some privacy, even if close to another site.
Everything is well maintained, and common areas (showers etc.) were all at least reasonably clean any time of day.
Because of a youngish son, the fact they have a basketball hoop, a pool, shuffleboard, carpetball, giant chess set, horseshoes, playground and mini golf gives us plenty of fun stuff to do just at the campground (there actually is more than what I just listed). Of course, they have tours stopping by right there to pick up interested sight-​seers for Gettysburg. We love the little dog park also, that is very cool! You are also not far from Hershey PA or Frederick MD, or even the Antietam Battlefield and other places to visit if you make this your base.
The camp store is not large but stocks enough, and there are some nice items (not cheap as you may expect, but there if you need it!).
We also love that they have a pancake breakfast there both Saturday and Sunday, which we like to take advantage of every visit, but additionally they will deliver a dinner to your site. Nothing fancy, like chicken tenders or mozzarella sticks, but when we are getting in on a Friday night it’s real nice not to have to worry about making dinner when setting up (can order til 8, I think, on Fridays).
In the past, I have had only two issues, and both times staff was all over the issue right away. No campground is perfect, and to me it is more important to know how a place would react to an issue. I appreciate their very high level of customer support.
There are not a lot of scheduled activities, but the ones they do have have proven to be fun (two memorable ones for us had been a magic act, and a lady that regales with ghost stories).
Highly recommend you visit yourself, especially for the 150^th Gettysburg Anniversary activities, make it home base for a few days!

Fantastic campground! Some of the friendliest staff I have ever met at at camping establishment. Kids loved the camping cottage, playground, and daily pancake breakfast. Cabin was modern, clean, and nestled in the woods with some privacy from other campsites. No party crowds here, very peaceful and quiet. Camp store was well stocked too if you forget something.

Great place. Kids will love it. This time of year for trick or treating was very fun.
Cabins are nice and clean and the staff is very helpful.

This location measures up to the KOA standards in every way. In past years it was a KOA Campground Of The Year.
Like most KOAs, they fit in with the local surroundings nicely. At this one, every site is shaded. BUT, the sites are all very small and you can almost reach out and touch your neighbors.
They do have a dog park, which I have not seen at any other KOA, as well as plenty of recreational games and activities for the whole family.
Conveniently located to Gettysburg National Battlefield and they also arrange bus tours if that’s your thing.
