This is an extremely clean campground that is very well-maintained. The staff was extremely helpful when we got there and the amenities are all very well-maintained. I would definitely stay here again.

Great KOA! Camped here twice. Close to Gettysburg and the National Military Park. Mostly completely shaded sites. Nice amenities. Weekend games for the kids. New playground. Nice pool. Well stocked store and very friendly staff. WIFI is very good. AT&T had fast data speeds.

This campground is pretty, the staff is excellent. We had neighbors with dogs that yipped constantly and the two of them just did not shut up. We should have asked to be moved.
The staff recommended a place to eat dinner that was amazing.

One of the nicest KOA's we have stayed with and would return. Nicely landscaped with trees and boulders between sites. Very well maintained with a good store, lovely playground, and spacious dog park. Close to Gettysburg sites and restaurants. Not a dog-friendly downtown for eating, but found the Appalachian Brewing Company that lets you eat with your dog outside in their patio area! Good brews and food!

We had a great stay at Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA Holiday in Gettysburg, PA.

We stayed in a level pull-thru site (#14) with deluxe picnic table, swinging Adirondack glider, and fire pit . The site was big enough for our motor home and Jeep. Full hook-ups with 50-amp service. Lots of mature shade trees made the site more comfortable given the July heat. The paver patio with seating and natural landscaping with well-placed boulders made it quite comfortable.

Wow, what a great place to stay when visiting the town of Gettysburg and nearby battlefields. From the escort to our site and friendly interactions with the staff, we immediately felt at home. The site was covered with clean gravel (which I like to keep sand and dirt outside), the camp store was well-stocked, the pool was inviting, the utilities all worked great, daily trash collection was convenient, immaculate landscaping, and a 2:00 PM check-out make this place a gem when visiting the Gettysburg area. Just 15-minutes to historic sites, restaurants, and breweries. Everything seemed clean and well-maintained.

Bottom Line: This is a great campground in a great location and we can’t wait to go back!

THINGS I ESPECIALLY LIKED:
1. Beautifully landscaped site
2. Well maintained and clean campground
3. Close to town of Gettysburg and battlefields

This is a very nice campground with sites generously spaced and LOTS of shade. Power was strong and consistent for we had to use our heat pumps on the chilly mid October nights. We had a deluxe pull thru (#53) and I think it was the best site in the park; roomy, level, quiet with a nice fire ring. Bath houses seemed to be clean, though we didn't need to use them much. Cute little camp store and activities for our kids. Fairly easy back and forth to everything Gettysburg you'd want to see. KOA's seem to be on the pricey side these days, but it's worth it for consistency and nice campgrounds like this.

We stayed in site #68, to the left when you enter the campground. We were in the water/electric section, and saw mostly other pop-ups, smaller RVs, and a few tents in our area. Our site was very spacious, beautifully landscaped and wooded, but right next to the road. There was a buffer of trees, but unfortunately that didn’t make much of a difference with regard to noise. I live adjacent to a busy local highway, and the noise was worse here at the CG, even though this road seemed like a smaller, rural road. There were vehicles loudly whizzing by at all hours of the day and night, which made it pretty hard to relax and enjoy nature, but since this was more of a “glamping” weekend vs a “real camping” weekend for us, I didn’t let it bother me too much. However, if we were to return, we would definitely avoid sites 65 through 69, as they all back up to that same road. Site 74 in the same section caught my eye as being very private, tucked away, and backing up to thick woods, so I would request that site in the future. The whole water/elec section was a bit further from the bath house than we usually like to be with little kids, but not a deal-breaker of a walk by any means.

Bath house was decent. Showers were very nice and looked like they’d been updated recently, but the overall bathroom earned about a B- for cleanliness. It was kept reasonably tidy (other than the trash overflowing on one occasion), and the countertops stayed wiped off, but the whole bathroom (minus the showers) just seemed a bit old, drab, and didn’t smell great. I know it’s a bathroom, but this wasn’t a one-time smell; it persisted throughout all 4 days of our stay.

What impressed me most about this CG was the landscaping and use of natural surroundings. There are tons of really nice boulders everywhere, bordering each site and most of the fire rings. The grounds are also very green and wooded, so it really does look and feel like a natural, rustic setting - much more so than any other KOA I’ve visited. You can tell the owners take pride in maintaining the grounds and natural elements. All of the roads and sites were paved(?) with really nice gravel, and you can tell they put a lot of effort into maintaining that, as well. Another highlight was the nature trail, which was a surprisingly challenging, rocky trail that leads up through the woods from one end of the CG to the other. It wasn’t like hiking Everest or anything, of course, but it definitely felt like a real, scenic hike for a family with little kids, and we felt like we had gotten our workout in afterward.

Concerning the surrounding area, you’ll never lack for things to do in Gettysburg. Obviously, the national battlefield is a must-do. I’m not a history buff by any means, but I really enjoyed the auto tour, and was taken aback at how vast and beautiful the battlefield is, with varying scenery. The actual town of Gettysburg is very cute, crowded during peak season, and offers all sorts of dining options, entertainment, and historical attractions. Any service (gas, groceries, medical, shopping) you need can be easily found in the area.

Overall, the was a very nice, well-maintained little CG and probably my favorite KOA I’ve visited to date. The expert use of landscaping to incorporate the natural, wooded setting really made a great impression on us. We wouldn’t hesitate to return for one of our “glamping” weekends!

We stayed at this campground last year and enjoyed it so well that we booked a return trip. It is a very well tended KOA. Upon your arrival you are greeted so you never have to get out of your vehicle. They take you straight to your site and assist you with parking your rig just right. You register when you are ready. We were in a premium, deluxe pull thru which had a hardscaped patio, patio furniture.and 2-person glider seat at the firepit. We have a 36 ft 5er. The campground was pretty full, but never feels crowded as the sites are nestled among the trees and are situated in the natural terrain. The roads and sites are all graveled. The tent sites and cabins are some of the best we have seen. Everything is clean and well-maintained.

Being in a forested area, the climate stayed quite comfortable, even in the heat of August. Even when there was light rain, the canopy of trees caught it. The natural setting is really what we needed to de-stress. This KOA is close to all that Gettysburg has to offer.

This fun, friendly, and accessible campground was the perfect spot to start our RVing adventures (2019). The staff was friendly, and we were there over easter weekend, when they had a super egg hunt (400 eggs) for all the camp kids. It was just outside of Gettysburg, but within 15 minutes to the major touring areas, grocery store, and gas. We appreciated the dog park, activities, and clean bathrooms.

This was our first trip to Gettysburg and although we had vouchers for a free stay at another local place and had even booked our stay (and cancelled) at another nearby resort, we wound up choosing the KOA after more research due to its smaller size and wooded campground. I will say that we praised our choice over and over throughout the stay. It appeared that the other campgrounds we had driven by were very out in the open with little shade. We are "woodsy" and really prefer to camp in the wooded lots with lots of trees rather than out in the sun. This was the perfect campground for us. This particular KOA is small, not huge like many other ones. It was very quiet and everyone was incredibly friendly. We were close enough to town so that we didn't spend the whole day driving. Lots were roomy and easy to navigate in and out of. Bathrooms were very clean and a close walk no matter where you were. We didn't try out the breakfast but we have our 2nd trip booked so we will make sure to do so on this visit. I have nothing but good things to say about this KOA!
