We camped here for two nights while we explored Gettysburg. The leaves were in color and the campground was really lovely. The facilities were clean, the sites are level and the staff friendly and helpful. It was a plus that we were able to fill our propane tanks here instead of making a special excursion, there's lots to see and do in Gettysburg. My only gripe was that most of the Campground is gravel, no pavement so the rains made it very muddy. Still, I highly recommend! read more

Granite Hill Camping Resort - Campgrounds Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

I would absolutely not recommend this campground. The only reason we stay here is for the winefest so we don't have to drive. Let's start at the beginning ..Cora in the office was just downright nasty when I went to check in. It's also $10 pp to just park your vehicle at the site if you are visiting after the winefest for a few hours. My campsite had huge holes throughout it which made it hazardous for not only my 80 year old parents but also for myself with back issues. I accidentally fell from stepping in the hole and was very lucky I didn't break a bone. We ended up putting our trash bin in the one big hole so nobody else fell. The showers had cobwebs and mildew and you couldn't adjust the water temperature.. you got whatever temp came out. Then On check out day.. the sewer must have been backed up cause when I went to dump the grey tank it all started coming out of the sewer hole like a water fountain all over the campsite. Totally disgusting. read more

Just got home from staying at this "resort". There is no "resort", just a campground that needs major work. More than half of the "amenities" were either closed or didn't exist. NONE of the pictures on their site show what it looks like now. Store staff was rude and said they didn't see any issues and that they made mini golf free for guests. When I questioned the "resort" title I was told "we recently changed it to Granite Hill Campground and that's what our sweatshirts say". I didn't book this based off a sweatshirt design, I booked based off the website and its portrayal of the resort. Save your money and stay somewhere else. read more

I've been visiting Granite Hill Campground for many years and it's truly one of my happy places. The staff consistently go above and beyond--they're friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. The campground is well maintained, peaceful, and filled with a great community spirit. read more

Went for the adventure golf- This could be an amazing course BUT the green is ruined/ripped/moldy/weathered/mossy, plants are overgrown into the course, leaves everywhere (I understand leaves fall in the fall but it could be blown off easily with a blower.) We left by hole 7, it was unusable. When leaving, we walked through the rest of the courses and the concrete was broken and dangerous. read more

I love it. My teens not so much. This weekend it's quiet. I was told this is not the norm, which works for us this weekend. We are in a motor home. No car towed so we are at the mercy of Uber, which is accessible- but not plentiful. We did get into & back from downtown Gettysburg without issue. Grounds well kept. Very pretty. Quiet time observed. We came here to meet up with friends and relax. Some activities for littles Saturday & a DJ. Teens are tough to please so they had to make the best of it. Rain no one's fault. Fun fact; there is no shuttle. There is no cable TV. Be prepared for that. If you need that you're out of luck. WiFi signal is great. Office staff very nice. We had site B1 because I was afraid we wouldn't have WiFi. We'd have been fine anywhere. Private enough, But dump station & trash also right here. Just a good to know. No issues. No complaints. We definitely come back. read more

I thought that Granite Hill had improved over time, but I was wrong. We have been going here for over 40 years, and although they have always been skinflints, this past Thanksgiving weekend was the worst. They called us the day before we were to arrive to tell us that the water had been turned off a couple weeks ago and the sites winterized and that we would have no running water at our sites. No offers of a discounted rate or any empathy whatsoever. When we went back to check in Friday (the office was closed on Thursday), the lady was very curt and not accommodating at all. She basically told my friends, tough, no discount. I didn't bother to engage her in conversation. The bathrooms were in horrible shape. Heat was off and the water takes forever to get hot. The bathrooms were dirty and run down. I can only imagine what dangers the exposed wires and cables at our site pose. Looks like a great recipe for disaster. With so many other options in the Gettysburg area, it makes me wonder why we went back here. For one of, if not THE most expensive, campgrounds in the area, you would think they'd make a little capital investment and improve the place and bring it up to 21st century standards. No wifi in the campground, no cable, can't manage water properly, and they are frankly rude and obnoxious. I now understand why attendance at the bluegrass festival has dwindled so dramatically over the last few years. We went back in May and the place was a skeleton of what it used to be in its hay day. Well, this past weekend is why we won't be going back. read more

review for onsite mini golf only. Course was maddeningly hard (which made it less than fun--okay for adults, but it would make kids insane with frustration, and their parents along with them). But the low rating is not because it was tough but because it was poorly maintained. We went right before the Labor Day weekend--and they were clearly going to have a slew of campers, because they were arriving steadily as we were leaving--but the course looked like no one had tended it in weeks. Deadfall, poison ivy, tree-berries...every hole required us to do our own cleaning before we could give it a go. read more

This place is basic, nothing special. What prompted my review was the fact that they don't have wifi!! I'm a young professional trying to keep up with workload from my job and study a little bit for an upcoming exam while trying to spend some time with my family. It's 2021, who doesn't have wifi?? Literally no amenities at this campsite. read more

One has to be curious why there are not recent reviews of this place ???? To start with you have to be skeptical when driving into the campground and the entry road is full of potholes. This is by far not a resort. It is a campground that is poorly maintained. The campground is in desperate need of updating and repair. Very few sites are close to being level, at best sites off by 3-4 inches side to side and 6 inches plus front to back. To level a camper at many flatter sites, many boards or leveling blocks are needed. To level a camper on many sites requires so many boards or leveling blocks that it becomes dangerous. The roads and sites are gravel and needs a bulldozer to fix access roads and sites. The resort does very little maintenance on the roads, sites and facilities. Even walking around the campground, one is at risk of twisting an ankle on the ruff roadways. This campground is "dog friendly" - which means watch where you walk or you will step in dog crap. Based on the fact that you would be hard pressed to find ground staff or maintenance folks, people do not clean up after their dogs. While on a walk around the campground we found 1 overflowing trash dumpster - We had a full hookup and glad we did cause the bathhouse was horrid as it was dirty, ant and bug infested and it was not only in need of a good cleaning but in desperate need of updating. The campground has a strict "No Refund" price gouge policy - for good reason once you see the place. It is disappointing that the owners are just money hungry that does provide good customer service and maintain the campground. When I got home I started to read the reviews ..... comical - the staff or owners must have written the good ones. Granite Hill could be a nice campground if the owners had a bit more self respect, invest in necessary repairs and updates and make the much needed improvements Searching the reviews of Granite Hill Campground, bad reviews go back for years - one would think the owners would try to improve the place - They must be happy taking overflow from the other campgrounds in the area. - read the reviews and be aware read more

Be aware early arrival campsite charge of fifteen dollars. My wife and i spent 15 minutes cleaning up branches! They should be paying me and her. Very old and primitive. But for the Forth of July on a Wim. Could be worst. read more

We visited here on October 31, 2020. We haven't camped for a few years but our friends wanted to get back into it. So they picked Granite Hill which we camped at 20 years ago. The camping itself wasn't bad but the facilities were horrible. I can only speak for the men's room but it was disgusting. The toilet had excrement and toilet paper just sitting in the bowl, someone spread excrement on the floor of one the stalls which sat there all weekend, they ran out soap in the dispensers, then they ran out of hand towels. The floor was a mess as well as the sink area. No one attended to the bathroom until Sunday when we were leaving. Myself, my wife and my friends will not be back. read more

As someone who Yelps and takes my experiences and comments seriously it's with great disappointment that I feel I must leave such a negative review. We were eagerly looking forward to our trip to Gettysburg and this campground for weeks; both being places we have never visited before. With "resort" in the name and looking at their social media and online presence I felt this campground would be a good fit for us. I liked the themes and attractions this campground brought every weekend and overall it seemed like an outgoing, very involved, family oriented campground. Upon arrival we initially were very happy with our placement in the B section. It didn't have a wooded feel and it was close to store, pool, rec center, and an arc playground. Traveling with a toddler we always request to be near the attractions as my preferred mode of transportation is my own two feet and a stroller. After a few attempts to get in our site, with a downward slope and between two trees it was obviously we weren't going to fit without ripping the ac from the roof and never getting level. I went to the office and the maintenance man instructed us to park longways against the gravel path. It still took some maneuvering to get level on the top of the slope so imagine our dismay when we went to hook up to utilities and couldn't find sewer. A quick look at the map proved this site indeed did not have sewer, Something we would have never agreed to at this price point. The office quickly made it right and gave us a site with sewer but it didn't have cable. Although they never fully acknowledged it was their fault as we had requested full hook up and that's what I thought I got when booking. Either way they were extremely nice about it and waived the additional fee (gasp - we were already paying $60 a nite!). Our new site however was as far as you could get from the amenities and up a hill with large rock gravel requiring us to get in the car every time as stroller travel was near impossible. Right away I noticed a large dead tree with an X on it, and another 2 feet away from our bedroom that was completely hollowed out. That night a severe thunderstorm hit the area with 60 mile an hour winds, rain, and some hail. To say I was terrified is as understatement. So scared in fact that I contemplated leaving and driving home but decided that was probably as dangerous as the trees so decided to stay. We "barely" slept in the living area as the hollow tree was too close for comfort to our bedroom. The next day I mentioned something to maintenance and he came out and took a look. While he agreed the X tree was dead and needed to come down he claimed the hollow one was fine. Little did I know just how bad the tree population here was until later on the hayride taking a tour of the campground did I see all the dead trees. A lady on the ride who comes here often said they never take down trees and they are extremely lucky no one has died yet. A peak at the Facebook reviews for this campground after I got home also made mention of the dead trees. Beside the tree situation there were other things that fell short. Two fishing ponds (that we saw no one catch fish, ourselves included) but a store that doesn't sell worms, a pool with only a port a potty as the bathroom, grass in the field and pond that needed mowed. Overall this place didn't feel as tended to as it should have been. The sites were in need of a weed wacking, the playareas were from the 1960's and not toddler friendly, lack of parking at the store and rec hall. The arc play area was more modern but the sand surrounding it saturated with tunnel boring bees. The paddle boat pond looked so neglected and overgrown with algae we avoided it all together. I didn't see any bathhouses and the few seasonal sites there were so neglected and abandoned it was no wonder they were unoccupied. No cable at our campsite and only wifi at the office. The hay ride was hazardous to get in and out of it and the operator provided no assistance. This was the first hayride I was ever on that didn't have bales, only a thin layer of hay across the floor. I could go on and on... Another issue was the lack of security. The one night we were forced to leave at 3 am to make a Walmart run for medication. There was no security system in place to come or go and I got the feeling that there was no staff on the premises overnight. On the positive side the staff was extremely friendly. There were a number of activities but participation was slim. I think because there isn't alot of seasonals this place doesn't have a strong sense of community. The weekend of our stay a petting zoo came to visit and that was nice but their time was very limited. Bingo was fun and by donation but prizes were lame. I liked that they had a gameroom and a cafe,although the ice cream prices were high. Sadly this place didn't make it to our list of places we'd stay again and were elated to leave. read more

Bought $129 ticket for their festival on March 22, then they changed policy on March 23 which would not allow me to attend festival but still would not give me a refund even though there would not be any place there for me to camp. Tried several times to discuss this with their office but got absolutely nowhere. WILL NEVER ATTEND THEIR CAMPGROUND AGAIN. read more

If you are going to take time to read a single review, I hope this is the one you read. I will never in a million years recommend anyone to stay at this site. Upon checking in, the staff was friendly. That's about where the good aspects of the stay end. Checked in to our cabin and got set up with a fire and unloaded belongings into the cabin. While sitting at the fire with our burgers cooking, we noticed a number of cats herding around the porch of the cabin. I am severely allergic so my boyfriend went to get them away, then quickly noticed a whole family of at least 15 cats living under the porch. We decided to wrap up early and get a good night of sleep. Boy were we wrong! We slept in the cabin and woke up to over A HUNDRED bites on our bodies. Initially thinking we had mosquitos in our cabin, we quickly realized that mosquitos don't bite in 15 consecutive spots. Then we realized we encounter what everybody fears when they go to stay at a hotel or anywhere besides their own home.... BED BUGS. We began tearing the bed apart and found a couple of bugs that we took pictures of. We had welts on our bodies, had to get rid of all of our belongings that we had brought in, our food for the weekend, and had to go purchase all new things as we were hours away from home. We had called the reservation office to let them know what had happened. They told us somebody would be down to our cabin to check it out, no one showed up. We went to the office and showed them pictures and said we wanted to be refunded immediately. They had asked for us to step outside for the conversation since they operate a business and have customers they are "catering" to. We cooperated, but I regret doing so. If I was checking in that day, I would have wanted to know what the true condition of the place was. We were refunded for our stay, given trash bags to throw out our belongings after having to ask multiple times for them, and offered a free meal from the chef (who happens to be the guy in charge of overseeing the cleaners!) which we respectfully declined. We left with nearly none of our belongings we showed up with because we didn't want to bring the problem home with us. A few days later, I called the office and asked to speak to one of the owners. He wasn't in at the time but he called me back to hear me out. I let him know the full impact of our terrible stay. - clothes that we had to throw away - food that we had to throw away - the cost of another hotel to stay at - purchasing new clothes to wear since we had nothing - cleaning our cars - medical costs - missed days at work due to extreme discomfort The list goes on and on. Rich told me he wanted to make sure he handled this in an amicable way and was genuinely sorry about our awful experience. He asked me to detail everything in an email and send it over to him. I did so the following day. I detailed the full impact and associated costs. RADIO SILENCE. I didn't hear from Rich, not even to acknowledge that he had received my email. One of his reservation employees was the only one to respond to me to say she'll make sure the owners see it and respond. Well they never did. So I began calling, on a daily basis, because I wanted to make sure the owners were taking action. Finally after maybe 15 or so phone calls, I finally got through to Rich and he said I can't just expect this to be handled over night. I said I understood that things like this take time, but that I wanted to be kept informed of the status of the claim he apparently processed with his insurance company. We had agreed on weekly updates and I asked for a written confirmation of the documentation he sent to his insurance company. I never received the written documentation and two weeks went by with no Wednesday updates from Rich. We had stayed at the cabin at the beginning of August and I have had no cooperation from Rich or the other members at Granite Hill. I am now planning to get lawyers involved and share my experience on social media in hopes that no one else has to go through this experience. It was genuinely one of the worst weekends I've experienced and the lack of respect being shown by the owners is astounding. read more

Overall, great place for a quick weekend camping trip. Went with a family; in total we had four kids and four adults. Went over Father's Day weekend, wasn't very crowded; however, the campsites are very close to one another, so on a busy weekend I could see how it would be crowded - but we had a blast. The pool was open, the beers were cold, and we were enjoying the outdoors with our friends and family - not a bad weekend at all. You have to remember, you are camping. Things won't be perfect; but, the staff is friendly and helpful, most people are chill an polite, and it was a good weekend. read more

We were double booked, rudely lied to by staff and aren't coming back... we came to the campground to go to our site, but someone was there , we chose a random site as they have NO form of contact after 7:00 we then slept at that random site and the next morning when we asked for a solution we were bombarded by nonstop rudeness saying "the system doesn't allow for double booking" over and over again, low and behold here comes the maitnence guy who says it was double booked. We were told to move our entire site one over! That's a lot of packing up to do only to move 20 feet and unload everything. But we ended up keeping our site, I doubt we will come back. I wish this campground had an emergency line. Never Judge a book by its cover... read more

Granite Hill Camping Resort - Back soon! - Campgrounds Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Based on reviews we had seen for this campground, we weren't sure what to expect. But even though we just had electric and water instead of full hook up, which we said was fine, we had a very pleasant stay and it's a pretty campground in a wooded farm looking area and they even have a few chickens and a cat or two and I don't think there is anything wrong with it except maybe the roads could use a little grading. Thank you for the nice stay! read more

Granite Hill Camping Resort - Entrance area near check- in at end of driveway - Campgrounds Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

If the "resort" campground is anything like their golf, I wouldn't stay there. Their adventure golf website is woefully out of date to the current conditions of their course. Most holes didn't have a number or flag to label which one you were one. The green carpet had holes and was filled with debris from the overgrown and unkept shrubbery. This place has clearly been unkept for years. There were even thorny brambles sticking out right next to one of their holes. If you are looking for mini golf in Gettysburg...this is not your place. Stay away, stay far, far away!! read more

We are about to begin our 3rd year with a seasonal spot at Granite Hill. The office staff is super friendly and helpful. The maintenance guys are prompt, friendly, and always willing to lend a hand. There are always plenty of things happening. Our favorite are the two bluegrass weeks and the chili cook off. Family that have come to spend time with us always book times for the following season. Thank You Granite Hill staff for all you do!!!! read more

This was a TERRIBLE place to stay!!! The posters and brochures are VERY misleading!! The front of the campground is nice enough, however, the further we drove back to find our spot, the worse the campground got. The grass was tall and unkempt and there were dead branches everywhere! I had to get out and move a large branch that had fallen across the road just to try to get to our assigned campsite! When I did pull up to our site, we found that it had a seasonal trailer already parked in it! I tried to back in next to it, but the ground was so uneven that we couldn't stay there. I moved to a spot next to that, but again the ground was so sloped that when we put out our slide, the whole RV tipped dangerously to the side. At this point I gave up and moved across the road to an unoccupied site, still littered with trash. I then went into the bathrooms, only to find them disgustingly dirty. The showers had not been cleaned either. I noticed there was another bathhouse across the campground, so I walked over to see if that one would work for my family. It was even worse!! It was hard to access, very dirty, and most of the toilets were clogged with toilet paper and waste!! By this time it was very late, so I keep my family inside and we left as soon as possible the next morning. I stopped by the office to discuss these concerns with them. The lady was nice but made excuses. I asked that the owner call me and she assured me he stopped in once a day and she would pass along my number. I have continued to call and email but it has been months and I still haven't heard from him. Do not stay here!! read more

This campground is a dump, they do not take care of it at all. There is no gravel in the roads so when it rains, it is all mud. The grass is always overgrown. We have been coming here for 10 years for the bluegrass festival and it goes downhill every year. Nothing is maintained or ever updated. In all the years we have been coming we have never seen any updates whatsoever. None of the sites are level, unless you come for the festival, I would stay away from this place. read more

I will not book with Granite Hill again. We booked several weeks out to tent camp on this site. When very bad weather was projected to come in during our reservation period, they refused to adjust our dates and kept a $75 deposit, citing a two-week cancellation policy that we were unaware of. We were not looking to cancel but just wanted to find a safe time to come back. They refused to adjust the timeframe, stating that they were sticklers with their policy. Bad policy, bad customer service--no thanks. We've camped for years around the country and have never experienced this. There are plenty of other places to enjoy in the area, and we'll go there next time. read more

There's lots of things to do fishing,tennis, basketball, volleyball, swimming.

Campsites were not mowed when we got there. We did not have water for most of the weekend and the electricity kept shutting off. For the amount of money you spend for this place, it is not worth it. We will not be coming back. read more

We camped the first open weekend. While pulling our TT through the campground, their maintenance person had a trailer pulled across the road, blocking it completely. It had the Jack's down and everything. My husband had to cut through tight sites to go around and off the road and ended up damaging the awning and roof!!! The maintenance guy was like...oh yea I was supposed to move that!!!! This is unexceptable! read more

I have never posted a negative review for any campground, restaurant or place of business - ever. We stayed this past weekend and to say the least it was not a pleasant experience. When we arrived at our campsite, I found that the grass had not been mowed which made cleaning up the massive amount of dog droppings quite a chore. It took me almost a half an hour to clean up the mess. It is quite obvious the "clean up after your dog" rule is not enforced AT ALL. The next morning when we left the camper, there were fresh deposits that had to be cleaned up. The gravel roadway was so messy with dog deposits that you had to watch your every step. I don't have a dog at this time, but I have had dogs in the past - never would I have left such a mess behind. My husband was told at the front desk that the cable was discontinued because it was too much trouble for the management. We won't be back. read more

Customer Service was never helpful. The prices were high. Rules were enforced whenever it was convenient for the staff. Do not let the pics and descriptions on their website fool you. The first restroom you see is the one at the office(single occupancy). It's okay, just don't expect the same conditions in the neighboring shower stall. Mud and debris covered the broken and missing tiles on the floor. The shower house that was located closest to our tent site was on top of a hill followed by 2 flights of stairs. The restrooms were filthy. Showers were operated by a push button that was difficult for my children to operate. My son stated that there was no drainage in the men's shower stalls. He stood in ankle deep runoff from several other shower stalls and now has red bumps all over his feet. I can't understand how less than 20 toilets are available on a campground that has 300+ sites. .....and lastly. On our final night (EVER) at the campground we were witness to an altercation at one of the campsites. A large family reunion was taking place with several adults and children sitting in a campfire circle playing the biggest game of Duck Duck Goose that I have ever seen. A pickup truck sped across the field and stopped 10-15 feet from where the family was seated. Terrified children screamed and ran for cover. The driver shouted with the family members about fireworks being set off and told them to leave. We spent the weekend across from this site and saw fireworks once...at the tent site across the road from them. The family protested and was allowed to stay, but the fun was done, the game was over, and the toddlers cried themselves to sleep. The next morning we found out that the man driving the truck like a maniac towards a group of children was none other than the owner of the campground. THE OWNER!!! What a shameful way to do business! Several family members threatened legal action and I gladly gave my name to 3 of them as a witness to the altercation. DISGUSTING GRANITE HILL. read more

I have been to granite hill in the past and never had a bad experience until now. Several things took place that were both irresponsible and negligent on behalf of your campground. I was also lied to in regards to the situation I am about to describe. You have a terrible infestation of yellow jackets up near the Post sites and no one was notified upon check-in. Our group had 5 sites, 3 near the posts and 2 on the B sites and not one of us was notified about this problem. There are several members of our group that are severely allergic to stings and rely on epi-pens as a lifesaving medication in case of stings. When I went to the office to discuss I was told the post areas were treated for hornets on Wednesday. Again, another stinging insect that people have anaphylaxis reactions to that if an infestation was known about every person checking in should have been notified of. I was also told that there was no knowledge of a yellow jacket problem yet when the maintenance person came up prior to me coming to the office he said they have known about the issue for a while now. Another issue I had with the situation was that when the hornets were treated for that a powdery substance that was toxic to animals was spread...NO ONE told any of our group upon check-in and we have dogs! The CHILDREN that rely on epi-pens could not go outside during the weekend for fear of being stung. While we could have left, how was this fair to the other children that were excited to participate in the Harry Potter activities? I expect a normal amount of stinging insects to be around but this was not normal. This was an infestation and completely unacceptable that no one at the campground was notified. On our way to the office we asked many other sites we passed if this seemed to be more of a problem than normal and all said yes. We go camping almost every weekend at different campgrounds and over the 10 years we have been going camping we have never seen anything like this. I sent this in an email to the campground as well as the campground owner with 2 separate videos that we took over the weekend as proof and never received a response. read more

We had a nice time. A few things they could improve upon: pave the potholes on the road right past the office, fill in the craters in the gravel roads, and plan for more activities on the weekends. The staff was nice, the food in the RedShed Cafe was good (the guy who was working in the cafe was very helpful and kind), and the pool was nice. We will probably return in the future because we enjoy our particular campsite. read more

Have been coming here over 15 years with our own camper. Last 5 years this place has been going down hill fast. It seems that Alcohol now seems to be the theme of this once nice campground along with it tuning from dog friendly into a dog kennel. I have been here 5 times this year already this trip my sixth with still 4 more booked that I am not sure we will keep but may ask for a refund I think after tonight. Each trip leaves me wanting to return less and less. It seems that after 10 PM you are on your own in here with no way to have any issues resolved until someone shows up in the morning to open the office. You can leave a voicemail at the office anytime as long as the mailbox isn't full which it was last time at 2 in the morning. A raging party between 5 campers was going on with the passing of what they called themselves out loud "white lightning" as they hooted and hollered til almost 3am playing tournament corn hole with 3 set ups, just what ya want at 2am the bang bang bang of bags of corn on boards. When I went to complain in the morning about it I was told that they had no complaints from others. That's when I told them their voicemail was full at 2am and again all I got was an apology. The alcohol is openly carried everywhere as a badge of honor by most including a few underage that I was sure of as when I asked the one boy how old he was he said 17. Now don't get me wrong I like a drink now and then too but I don't have to carry it all around the campground with me on a walk and I drink on my own site which is the rule at all other campgrounds I have been to. But last weekend July 25, 26, 27, 2014 I watched a 7 yr old at most sent by his father at the pool with his empty beer can from shuffleboard pavilion to B104 then brought back a full can for his father back to the pavilion.... Not sure about age laws but I do think 7, 8, or 9 may just be underage...... Many people carrying beer openly just strolling around.... Others bring beer coolers to children's play area at the wooden ship and openly drink watching the children.... Family oriented campground? Also last weekend we had to call the office Friday evening for dogs barking behind us and also again Saturday morning. These people had multiple small dogs (3-4) all in a small pen and the dogs hated each other and the pen which all led to multiple dog fights which the owners sitting right beside them never said a word and acted like it was nothing when it would go on for 5 minutes or more. Now I am not a dog hater.... We have dogs ourselves but would never impose any such noise on anyone without swift action to correct the dogs actions. This is a common theme throughout the campground and I have expressed my concerns a few times to the office staff and also the owners but it only seems to get worse as time goes on not better. Tonight at 1Am our thoughtful neighbors behind us were just drinking and laughing and having a blast along with one little yappy dog and a big one that was fairly quite. When I finally had had enough of the inconsideration I went next door and informed them that Quiet time was at 11pm which I was arrogantly responded to by a drunk as "thank you for the information" as he and the other 3 all just went back to doing what they were doing at which time his yappy lil dog started his fit and I told him it was 1am and that no one wanted to hear his dog or them at 1am. At hath is time the 2 men walked out onto the roadway where I was and one grabbed me by the arm and the other told me if I didn't want to get hurt it would be best for me to go home as the younger drinker one started to push me forcibly with his whole body as if to fight if I resisted.... Then the treats but the one lady (using the term lady generously) started running her mouth to get things started like an old barroom brawl like they owned the place. Well after being called numerous names as can't be posted and a few kinder words I was told it was best to go home before I got my butt (xxx) kicked... I called the office again to report the incident and got the voicemail but at least this time was able to leave a message so we will see what happens in the morning. It seems a shame that this time of year that not even half the campground is occupied when in years past you couldn't get a spot this time of year unless it was booked last year in advance. Doing nothing about dogs and alcohol seems to be working in favor of opening up campsites but still with many open seems no one wants to fill them. Not telling anyone how to do anything just stating the obvious that the more alcohol and dogs the less people. 1 plus 1 is simple math which I am sure must show in the red on the books somewhere.

Would not recommend this facility. The photos online do not represent the actual condition of this campground. Roads to campsites are heavily rutted and most of the campground is ill maintained. Cabin and shower rooms were infested with ants and large spiders. Staff made no effort to address the issue. My husband and I went to the local supermarket and purchased bug spray with our own money to attempt to rid the cabin of the ants and spiders. After these attempts failed, we were forced to pack up my family at 9:30 pm and pay last-minute rate at a local hotel. Only one room could be found in all of Gettysburg due to the annual reenactment. Upon speaking to the managers the next morning, we were assured "someone" would call us back regarding the situation. The staff was repeatedly rude and insulting. By 6:00 pm we had received no such call from the owners. We finally decided we must cut our vacation short, as we had no place to sleep that night. We were forced to forfeit our money, even though we did not sleep a single night at this campground. Don't waste your money. read more
