One of my favorite KOAs! The atmosphere was lovely—woodsy and hilly. There were tons of family activities during our stay, like a food truck, live music, and scavenger hunt. Plus, there’s a nice pool, mini golf, and more. The drive to the battlefield and downtown Gettysburg is short. I would highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the area.

Stayed here for 4 nights. We stayed in a cabin with our dog. Cabin was clean. The cabin has a heater, AC unit, mini fridge, and a TV. Location is 15 minutes from Gettysburg and only 30 minutes from Maryland. Super accommodating. Bathrooms were kept clean. Excellent KOA.

We’ve stayed at over 30 KOAs this year and Gettysburg KOA ranks in our top 2. Wonderful charming, local fun. We loved the staff and how they put so much thought into the campsite. The fire pits of stone, the fun mini golf, the pirate ship playground and the private sites were our family with two kids fav! We had lots of laugh from the start with their voicemail and found this an A+ KOA. Great job team!

My boyfriend and I camped here as our last trip before the fall semester started. It was a great location for our trip! They showed us to our camp site, helped us back in our pop-up, and were helpful the entire weekend. Being only 15 minutes from town was a plus. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a nice, small place to stay.

Lovely campground, lots of shade, feels very private. By far our favorite campground in the Gettysburg area (this is our 3rd). Really like how the sites are laid out and some have pads with Adirondack chairs, nice pool, rock fire pits in sites, friendly and helpful staff. Didn't take advantage of all the amenities but we'll be back!
