Its a large park, convenient to EVERYTHING in Gettysburg. Very fairly priced, and they actually accept Good Sam (Most campgrounds always have a "special weekend" and they don't accept the GS discount) I recommend this campground.

This camp ground has it all, covered stalls or small corrals, I'm guessing they are about 20'x20', but no roofs over them. This place is right on the battleground. Just cross the street and you are on the trails. The campsite has an inground pool, pond, campfire pits, RV hookups and running water, toilets, laundry and a store. You're 1.5 miles from town. The corrals and stalls are secure enough you can leave your horse for a few hours and enjoy a restaurant or museum if you want to without worry. In general, the area seems very safe and respectful. The campground also provides sawdust for your

Unfortunate we had some RV problems on our trip to PA and were not able to stay for the first night. The staff was amazingly accommodating and understood our situation and only charged us for one night. Beautiful campground and so close to Gettysburg! Definitely will be coming back to spend more time!

This is a very nice campground with lots of special touches that make its nice experience. As advertised, it is very close to everything! However, there wasn’t any enforcement of the quiet hours and our camp neighbors were extremely loud until 2 am. This made it very hard to sleep and was aggravating.

We have stayed here many times and always have had a great experience! We love camping. We have brought our own horses and also ridden at the stables. This time we only brought our camper. We had a blast. The events were well planned, trick-or-treating, DJ dance party, food trucks, farmers market, pumpkin carving contest, site decorating contest and coloring contest for kids. We had a fantastic time.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I am sorely disappointed to see the 'development' going on-- swimming pool, slick clubhouse, more RV sites. This place was rather unique in its rustic ambience. You could imagine yourself in 1865, with the Boy Scouts tenting in an open field and horses in the stable (and the sound of gunshots?). Although it abuts the national park, there is cricket song at night, birdsong in the pearly dawn. Fake buildings labeled 'saloon' and 'sheriff' and 'jail' lend a Civil War flavour. The bathrooms and the laundry room are spotless

Sadly we have to leave today. What a fantastic experience staying here. Close to everything that you would want to see. We camped in site 57, our friends camped in 58 and 52. Very level sites and plenty of room. The staff were very accommodating. We will most definitely return because we were not able to do all we wanted to eventhough we were here for 6 days. With the improvements they have slated this place will only get better. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Sad, love the trails on the battlefield, I though feel, new owners are not in to horse campers, as where horse campers were once on one side away from others, turned a round pen into a dog park, and made sites half the size they use to be, packed in like sardines, although stalls did have lots of bedding. And main issue is I had a $116 refund from previous trip 2 yrs ago, because of covid wasn't able to return till this year, when I called made reservations I was told they definitely would honor it, unfortunately the new owner refused when I got there. Sorry will not be returning. Week later they

Our first stay here, very pleased! We spent a week here (retired couple) from Central Mass'tts with our 1 horse. We are widely experienced horse campers and natonwide horse travelers. Here we stayed in a fully furnished cabin for 3 nights (Q bed, bunks, kitchenette and full bath), and a simple cabin for 3 nights (Q bed and bunks only). We paid extra for our horse to have both a night-time stall and a daytime individual paddock (one could rent just one or the other, too). The bunkhouse cabins have no bathroom facilities, so we used the common bathhouse, which is brand-new, clean, and very attractive

Wonderful campground. Some of the spots are a bit close, but overall, a great place with a staff that is willing to work with you to make your stay the best it can be. Everything from helping with the internet, to sending someone immediately to remove a tree branch so I can open my awning, to allowing me to stay several hours past checkout so that me and the family could continue enjoying the battlefield.

We loved this campground. You can’t beat the location, the quiet atmosphere is exactly what we like and some horses to boot. The bathroom we used was immaculate and the laundry room has washers and dryers that use a phone app! My only complaint is that the one time we tried the store 9 minutes before closing we were told by the gentleman that they were “closed”. He did let us go in but hovered about and made sure it was known that it was an inconvenient time to be going in. I hate feeling rushed when I have time and or when a place puts “closes at 8” but actually closes up at 7:50. Put

Visited in July 2021. Overall we we're pleased with our stay. Pros: Can't beat the location. 1 mile to the visitors center, 1.5 miles to the downtown area, across the street from the battlefield. The facilities that have been renovated (like bathhouses) are really nice. Full hookups at most sites.
Cons: As many other reviewers have mentioned, the campground is a work in progress. Lots of 'construction sites' around the camp that are in various states of completion/eye sores/ etc... A bit pricy for what you get now, likely a good value once everything is completed.

I can't really tell you what this place is like because they cancelled my reservation. In October I booked 3 sites for Memorial Day weekend. I booked in advance because it is a holiday weekend and I want us and the 2 families going to be near each other. In January they called to say that they were making the sites we choose into permanent sites. But they would move us to a new area being constructed and we could all stay together. I had no idea how big the sites would be but really had no choice as most places were already booked for the holiday weekend. So yesterday they call and cancel

My wife and I tent camped here for three nights last week. The campground itself was nice. The tent camping area was pretty basic but deserted when we were there (we heard that they get VERY packed on weekends FYI), restrooms, decent looking laundry room and firewood vending machine. The location really couldn't be better. You can literally walk across the street and be in the battlefield. Very short drive to downtown Gettysburg. My only complaint would be that the camp store we visited several times insisted that everyone wear a mask to enter but the managerial lady who was always there was

We stayed at this lovely campground last week while doing a fall vacation and absolutely think it's one of our favorite places to stay in the area. Staff was friendly and accommodating; the sites were laid out conveniently as well as the campground is convenient to battlefield touring, area attraction's, and downtown Gettysburg. We have stayed here before and certainly will come back again.

The staff is wonderful!! We are tent campers but my husband and son in law needed electricity so we had to get RV sites, since none of the tent sites have electricity, that had no shade and were all gravel. The bathrooms were small and not very clean. The kids had a good time playing mini-golf and swimming in the pool. I would probably stay here again if I had an RV with my own bathroom but as a tent camper probably not.

So, we have been here last year and loved it. Awesome atmosphere. Decided to come back this June. Last year we booked over the phone and they placed on a great spot so we could enjoy the site after exploring Gettysburg. This year, we booked online. Put in the length of our camper ( mind you, same camper and car we took last year) and were given a site. Arrived and found out there were new owners. Ok. Get to our site. Think there is no way our camper and car will fit. We get it in. But there was no room for anything outside. An older woman came around an hour after we arrived and to check in to

I can't say enough good things about this campground. After my travel companion deserted my mother and I at a previous campground, Mom and I had absolutely no transportation, other than the motorhome we were traveling in. However, the people at Artillery Ridge were so very helpful - I am disabled and Mom is 80+ so we can't walk very far. Thank you, Ray, for the Uber rides! And for your tree trimming techniques! Overall, the campground was a clean, quiet, and roomy. I understand it is under new management so I don't know how it used to be but we enjoyed our time there. We scheduled

With recently raised prices for hookups and horse camping (now double the price) I would expect the upkeep of the horse area to be better than it was, but it's not. If anything, it's worse. Very tall weeds in all pens make it hard to clean up after the horse when it's expected of owners to leave a clean pen. Riding arena is unuseable due to tall weeds and hard as rock, uneven footing - it's horrible. Round pen footing just as bad. I would expect to see improvement since prices were raised considerably. The cost for a small weedy pen is way too much. Pluses were that the horse

The cabin was cute, but it was definitely pricey and maybe not really worth it. There were flies and ants in the cabin that definitely would have been a problem if we stayed more than one night. Check in was at 4 and check out was at 11 so it definitely didn't give you much time to explore amenities if you also wanted to check out the town. Staff was friendly and we liked that it was pet friendly.

Best Campground! We were so insanely close to the Gettysburg trail and downtown area. The staff was very friendly so soon as we arrived we were greeted with a smile and they had our paperwork ready to go. The sites are well-maintained and offer full hookups. Also, lots of tent space available, if you prefer. Many sites with and without trees depending on your preference. The kids throughly enjoyed seeing the horses throughout the campground. The bathroom, shower, and laundry facilities are close to most of the sites. The camp store offers many of your camping needs plus a ton of fun civil war items

We came here for the cabin. The campground is small but enough space for the campers and RVs. The cabins are all the way hidden in the back which was nice and quiet. It's also walking distance to the office. I like how you can park your cars right in front of the cabins. The staff was helpful and friendly. The campground is generally clean and so were the cabin. I would definitely come back!

Had a wonderful experience today touring the Gettysburg battlegrounds on horseback. The horses were well trained & well behaved. The staff was friendly & extremely helpful.

I tent camped here for one night the Friday of Labor Day weekend. They still had a tent spot available when we showed up :)
The tent site was nice, though a little hard to find - it was flat and had a fire pit and a picnic table. The RV neighbors had adorable lights set up and a cute garden.
The staff was VERY nice, they have a cool little store with food/drinks/stuff to buy (including shot glasses from every state, interesting). The bathroom could have been a little bit cleaner and the bathroom stalls were a little bit on the small side, but it was nice enough. I'd definitely stay again

Nice people and nice horses. I did the two hour ride. They let me go back and pet the horse I'd be riding. Once everyone was mounted, the mother, can't remember names, gave us some history on the battle and area. Then we rode to the the national park, which was a few hundred feet across the street. Next we stopped by a house in the park, turned our horses to face the street. We were then told about the house and what happened there during the battle. Meanwhile the leader checked everyone's girth for saftey and sprayed the horses with my fly spray. We rode some more, on the

This is a review of the 2 hour horseback ride through the battlefield. I am so glad we decided to do this. We left at 9AM and returned around 11AM. They take you to see how the battles unfolds as you are riding horseback. They give you a headset where you place one ear bud over your ear as the tour guide gives you a 2 hour history lesson. The other ear you keep open to listen to the guides for the horses. We went out with a group of about 11 and 4 farm hands and i guide. Our guide was full of knowledge and we got to see so much. From Little Round top, to Big Round top, to Pickett's Charge

We stayed at this campground while visiting Gettysburg PA. It's a great place! The sites are large and not too close to each other. There are lots of trees and it's dog- friendly.
We don't have satellite TV and this campground doesn't offer cable, but we got over 10 stations with just our antenna so we were good with that.
They have a laundry room, bathrooms and showers for those camping more 'primitive' than us. Overall, definitely a great place to stay while in Gettysburg!
