Rating: 7 9 7 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed as part of a Promo for membership. Check in was pleasant & quick. We unhitched from our 45' motorhome to move thru the park to our site. Roads are a mix of narrow & wide streets & turns, but manageable. Some paved roads & gravel sites. Some sites are shady, some completely open. We had a camp volunteer lead us the best way to the site. Our pull thru was plenty long enough for our rig & parking our F150 tow vehicle. Wifi was pretty bad & kept popping me off, so I used my Verizon set up without problems. We had partial shade that blocked satellite reception, but sometimes shade is a nice tradeoff. Our site had elec & water only, no sewer. Fire ring & picnic table at each site. There is a "honey" truck that is available in the campground if needed. Pool, kids activities, fishing pond are available in the resort. On weekends there is a cannon firing reenactment. The park is located on the edge of the battlefield, a few min from downtown Gettysburg & the Visitors Center. Quiet at night, no trains or highway noise. There are a few areas where campers appear long term & their sites are cluttered. Gave site #200 three stars because no sewer available. The site was pretty level and in fair condition as far as the gravel. - 2SimsNanRV
Nice park and close to Gettysburg NP. Utilities were good except wifi was very weak at our site. New gravel has been put on many of the roads and they are in good shape compared to our last visit a few years ago. - RayN
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Gettysburg Battlefield Resort (Travel Resorts of America) »The campground is clean as were the showers. We have been here before and really liked it. The staff is great and really friendly. Some of the dog breeds they allow are a concern even though they have a leash at all time requirement. We did not want our small dog in with the very large and barking dogs in the pet area. One thing that detracts from this campground is the derelict campers parked at the storage area near the pet walk and the derelict campers up at the business near the entrance of the campground. Also a detraction, there appears to be some campers which may be workers/permanent residents that are unkempt sites. While the site was just long enough for our 36' fifth wheel, there was not enough area for our truck. We had to park in the back of the fifth wheel and were partly in the road. - sassien24502

Rating: 3 4 3 5 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The site was a mudhole. The roads highly confusing and once down a lane, hard to turn the rig. Most sites are Park models or trailers, so there is little choice. - DustyBob
Trying to stay near Frederick MD, my usual favorite campgrounds were booked. Weekends in Oct are popular and we booked late, but we were able to get in here. I see why now. This campground is very tight, there were trailers within inches of the roads/stop signs throughout, and its a very uneven campground with all kinds of hills and valleys. The roads are very narrow bumpy paved, some gravel. Most of this place you can hear trucks thundering by, as its really almost right next to Rt 15. It is also full of permanent sites with sheds and junk thrown around. The "bathhouse" was a little tiny building, looked like cabin, 2 bathrooms, 2 showers. No hot water in one, and no paper towels to dry your hands except for the am we left. The only dumpsters were at the entrance and we were far from that. Glad we weren't staying a long time, would have had to keep hauling trash in our car. The only thing good about this campground is it's close to Gettysburg, but so are several other campgrounds. Glad we checked it out, but will never stay here again. - letsgorving
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Round Top Campground »Our site is right beside a major highway. We were NOT told that at the time of reservation (in my opinion this should be disclosed at time of reservation).
Prior to arrival and at time of reservation I asked if sites are level multiple times! I was told yes. Get here, front wheels are off the ground. I asked to move sites. So they gave me 3 other options. All too short for us and even more unlevel (for our 40 foot motor home). I see at least 20 sites that would have worked for us that are open, and have been open our entire stay.
Most sites are not level.
Grounds are un-kept. Grass is up to my shin. Were told their lawn mower is not working (no excuse in, my opinion when one can hire landscaping help).
Sewer connections are uphill; therefore not draining properly.
Bathhouse is not air conditioned or heated, not even ventilated. Semi clean.
Some permanent sites are unattractive ("junky"). Others are well-kept.
Had to pay in-full at time of reservation, no refunds. Now I see why! Lesson learned!
Thankfully we are out and about being tourist and not at the CG often. We will not return. Found several other campgrounds nearby that looked like a better fit for us. - JohnsonFam -

Rating: 4 6 7 4 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The grounds are not well-maintained. The grass is not mode. The playgrounds are extremely old and covered in rust. The bathrooms are dirty and full of bugs and mildew. The pool is falling apart and full of cracks and in bad need of repair. They are charging the rates of a very nice resort however they lack to maintain the overall campground. And they're only name to fame is the large bluegrass festival but they have one weekend a year. For the price that you pay and the way that there are sites are laid out there are much better values in the Gettysburg Pennsylvania area right down the road. This campground has the potential to be very nice and I think it was at one point in time but in the past several years it has really fallen by the wayside and is not as nice as related to the price that you actually paid to stay here. Water pressure was terrible all weekend long even when I route moved my pressure reducer. - Lspajm
Unfortunately, due to rain and being assigned to a "grassy" site, I almost got stuck in mud! Luckily, was able to get out of the mess, but the whole campground was a muddy mess. I didn't know I"d be there during a bluegrass festival, so staff was more concerned about dealing with that then trying to service other customers. Lots of other campgrounds in the area I would have used if I had known. - Ronzo Rig
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Granite Hill Campground & Adventure Golf »Location is why you would come to this park. It is very near Gettysburg and an easy drive in. The pool was closed for the season when we stayed, but the campground had lots of room for kids to play. We stayed in the Pull Thru spots near the entrance (B1 - B10) and they were only ~1" out of level. I did walk around and see many site further up the hill were way out of level (5" - 7", based on blocks under tires). - JFB1

Rating: 8 9 8 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We really enjoyed this park. The week we were here was extremely HOT. We were able to use our air conditioner all week with no problems. The pool was full all week but kept super clean. This campground is really perfect for visiting Gettysburg. The staff here were wonderful and super helpful. We would definitely stay here again! We had a buddy site with our friends. The sites were very level and had our choice of wooded or not. Plenty of room for our truck and 5th wheel. - JenniferWood88
Wonderful park and staff, all friendly and very helpful, guided to our site and was concerned on the height of low looking wires, they sent someone to not only watch but lift the wires if needed. Grounds well kept, trees trimmed. Here for a FROG Rally, great park to hold a rally. nice pavilion and plenty of open space. - DBLR
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Gettysburg Campground »We called to make a reservation (for a weekend) a few days ahead and all they had was a 30 amp with no sewer, which we were able to work with, as it was located in a wooded, shady section. The (pull-thru) site was kind of tight to get into, but actually kind of spacious once we got into it. No way to get in without disconnecting the car, which we do anyway. The office and grounds staff were professional and helpful. The campground was crowded on the weekend, but everybody was polite and quite. There is a lovely creek that runs the perimeter of the grounds (sites are adjacent to it, but you can still walk up in some areas). Seems to be a lot of activities for kids. Bathrooms were clean but in real need updating (parts held together by multiple layers of grout, missing and cracked tiles, etc.) Very close to all of Gettysburg activities. It is all stones - very little grass (the grass in the pics is all growing up through the stones) - at least paved roadways would have been nice. We would recommend this campground. There are a lot of different areas in the campground, thus if you have shade or no shade preferences, be sure to ask when you book! - Deb and Chris

Rating: 8 5 8 2 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed in the 400 circle. Very open and good for satellite reception. We thought we were going to have a satellite that's why we requested it. the site was fairly level, not crowded, pull through and open. it was 90-95 each day and VERY HOT, can't blame the campground on that :) The AC's were cranking and we never lost power. The water pressure was good. Had free wifi and was good enough that I could tap into NBC on my PC and stream the shows. We were told that in that area you could get ABC and a few channels with the antennae, but we didn't try. We had a horse pasture between our area and the other part of the campground. There were no short cuts to the pool/store so you must drive or have a bike. the walk was approx 1/4 -1/2 mile . Pool was 4ft deep but satisfied us. The store was nice had souveniers as well as some RV stuff. Other pull throughs were closer and some in the shade. Will go back but will request a site in the shade. - bsblindab
The staff was friendly and generally helpful. However, the sites are literally on top of each other. The site we were assigned (E79) wasn't particularly level and had no shade what-so-ever. It was also right behind the main dumpster. At least while we were there, the campground was packed on the weekend. The camp store was well-stocked and useful. Good game room and playground for the kids, as well as a pool (didn't use it, but it seemed nice). Not a bad location for visiting Gettysburg, but we will likely check out other options on a return trip to the area. On a related note, we do not recommend the "Spirit of Gettysburg" attraction for which the campground gives free tickets. We thought the "fun house" approach to an event in which thousands of men died (Picket's Charge) was offensive to the memory of those soldiers on both sides who gave all. On the other hand, we HIGHLY recommend hiring one of the licensed battlefield guides for a personal tour of Gettysburg. The cost for our entire family to have a personal guide was less than the cost of going on a group tour. The tour was a highlight of our trip. - AF_Pilot

Especially useful was time required for the various venues. Used Passport America, $30/night included tax. Pool was spotless. Store seemed complete.

Rating: 9 7 10 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: 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. 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 our eye as being very private, tucked away, and backing thick woods, so we would request that site for sure. 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 sites 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. - Jenventola
Overall the campground was clean, quiet and staff and service were excellent but, we did experience over and under voltage's on our site first night camping. We thought at first it was our EMS surge protector and had the staff come to our site late Friday night and they replaced the 30 amp breaker and receptacle but the voltages were fluctuating all week. If you decide to stay here we would advise to have some protection between your rig and their electrical. - DWaeghe2

Rating: 8 7 9 5 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Site was very shaded, and quite secluded. Camping pad was nice and level, although the driveway was slightly sloped. Nice amount of space in between sites. Very short walk to bath house. Campground was relatively empty our first night (Thurs), but filled up the next day. Still, heard hardly any noises from our neighbors. Camp hosts were very friendly, and came over to introduce themselves and go over park info shortly after we checked in.
Facilities/Overall Park: Bath house was centrally located. Pretty average as far as cleanliness goes, but everything worked, and the showers were hot. Great recycled tire playground, and awesome nature center w/ turtles and various birds of prey on site in the Manor Area. If you head over to the Houck Area of the park (about a 15-20 min drive), you'll find the lake, falls, and another campground. The Houck area definitely tends to be more crowded. I can't speak to the campground, but the lake is nice, and the falls are beautiful. The hike up wasn't too strenuous, either; my husband, dog, and 5-year-old handled it just fine. - JenventolaCampground loops were at the top of a hill away from the rest of the park. sites were good sized with lots of woods behind most sites. High power line did run through nearby. Cell phone reception was good. Day use area at lake was free to campers, but parking filled up on holiday weekend and it was a long, steep hill to walk down to the lake and back. - direwolf2001
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Cunningham Falls State Park - William Houck Campground »Well kept state park with a large campground. Electric loop is one of the older loops and sites are not all that level. We stayed in one of the H/C sites with electric in a tenting loop because access was easier. Each loop has a host site but only one of the five hosts was present. Campground is uphill from everything at the park and plan on driving down to the lake or trail heads. Within the park hiking available or just across the road to the larger Catoctin National Park with plentiful trails and rock outcroppings to visit. Lake has a couple of nice sand beaches and the falls were running due to recent rains. Park tends to get a lot of day use at the beaches but the campground is secluded and access restricted. Restrooms were clean and serviced daily. We camp here two to three times a season. - HR52

Rating: 9 6 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We camped here in February and there was only one other camper. It was quiet except for the faint noise from the highway. The sites are pretty big, and they have a fire pit, picnic table and a little bit of a workbench for some reason. We paid $18 through self registration when we arrived by using the provided envelopes. A Ranger checked in with us A few minutes later to see how everything was going. Lots of hiking trails here but not much else to do in the winter. We stayed at site 20 which was very close to the Porta John that we used since the bathroom facilities are closed during winter. - The Bees
I used this campground for a quick overnight stay. This campground recently reopened after a long closure following heavy storm damage, and unlike the other campground at Cunningham Falls, is open year round, but with limited winter service, no reservations taken, and a lower fee charged.
Roads are paved and in excellent condition, but are tight, as are most sites. Sites are gravel and mostly level, but many can be a challenge to get into, this is not a big rig friendly campground. Picnic table, fire ring and lantern post are provided. Sites are spaced well, some closer good for groups, but many are spacious and well apart from other sites. Power at my site showed reversed polarity on the 30amp, and the outlet itself was installed upside down. The 20amp was good. No water or sewer hookups, water is available from spigots throughout the campground.
Shower house was closed for the season, a portapot was provided, but I did not use it. Campground was very dark but there was a good deal of road noise from Rt15, which continues all night long, but this was not an issue inside the camper. I saw no staff, and the campground was otherwise empty. It proved to be a good place to overnight with my small travel trailer. - CyclonicView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Cunningham Falls State Park - Manor Area Campground »We camped in the Manor area which allows pets. While the sites were relatively close to the road - short driveways - they were nice and fairly level with stone dust pads, fire rings, picnic table and lantern posts.

Rating: 6 6 6 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Have been here twice and we do see a rough edge building here. Fairly tight roads, lots of weeds, tons of trash built over holiday week (4th of July), dusty roads, road noise...but also friendly people, activities and lots to do in the area. So I'm somewhat conflicted. So is it a good campground or not? I do think that it is a good place, but one that needs an overhaul to bring it up to current standards in order to draw folks from outside the local area. - Randy L
As others have said, this is a large park. We camped during Fathers Day weekend & it was crowded. There is a large section for "seasonal" campers who leave their RV at the campground for the year & visit it intermittently. We were assigned a large space (#410) recently vacated by a "seasonal" camper. This back in site has level gravel, easy access to hook ups, shady on one side, more than enough space for our Class A, 45' motorhome & tow vehicle. Note: It backs up to the interstate, so noise is constant. Dust on the roads from vehicles & golf carts passing by was annoying. There are a couple of tight turns to get to this area of the campground. We unhitched at the office & drove to the site to preview our route & turns to get to this site. We also found our route out prior to moving our RV out of the campground. Again, there is a variety of tight turns, wide turns, & narrow roads to leave the park. For the rate we paid, we will probably not return. These park owners need to visit a Florida "resort" to understand what the term "resort" means. Its not just about having a pool & playground. Our site was pretty clean, probably because of the recent change from seasonal. However we walked by several sites that were full of weeds & generally not manicured to the level you would call "resort". Several RVs required leveling blocks for them to be close to level. - 2SimsNanRV
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Drummer Boy Camping Resort »This is a very large campground. We had a pull-thru "premium" site in the back section. We have stayed at this campground many times over the years and I still haven't figured out the difference between the so called premium sites and standard sites with the same hookups and size other than cost. Our site was level side to side and good sized. The hookups were easily accessed. The gravel roads need work. Also, the gravel they use is extremely dusty when dry and almost like cement paste when wet. It gets on everything! This is a huge detraction. The campground is well located for Gettysburg and surrounding areas. The value for cost is barely satisfactory. There are other comparable local campgrounds that are less expensive. - hunter7258
