Campground Review: Gettysburg/Battlefield KOA Holiday
On this episode of Campground of the Week, we are reviewing the Gettysburg/Battlefield KOA Holiday which is located just outside of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and is a short 10-minute drive to the Gettysburg National Military Park.
We planned on using the Gettysburg/Battlefield KOA as a basecamp to explore the area nearby, including the national park site and historic downtown. We never imagined that the campground itself would charm the socks off of these very seasoned campers. We have stayed at hundreds of campgrounds around the country, and this one checks off all the boxes, offering warm hospitality, beautifully maintained grounds, spacious and level sites, and plenty of family-friendly activities for all ages.
The Gettysburg/Battlefield KOA has tons of amenities including:
- heated pool
- bouncy pillow
- playground
- dog park
- recreational games such as corn hole, carpet ball, shuffleboard, and horseshoes
- weekend pancake breakfast
- on-site nature trail
They also offer plenty of activities:
- bike rentals
- shuttle tours for the battlefield
- Thursday night ghost stories
- rotating weekend activities (we participated in the flashlight egg hunt while there)
Listen to the episode to hear our insider tips for site selection and booking, plus our nobody’s perfect feedback.
We also chat about the local attractions, including the star of the show: Gettysburg National Military Park. A visit to this NPS site requires some advance planning and scheduling so listen for our recommendations on:
We also had a great meal at Food 101, coffee and treats at the Ragged Edge Coffee House, and enjoyed exploring the historic downtown.
