We are Fifth Wheelers...any NICE campgrounds in the area, that are not to crowed and Not on top of each other ????
campgrounds
There are several great campgrounds in and around Gettysburg. Several are award winning. I suggest calling the Visitors Bureau (800-337-5015) who can also let you know if there are available lots depending on when you plan to visit. You can also check out their website which provides a list and link to all of the campgrounds - www.gettysburgcvb.org.

When we go camping in Gettysburg, we always stay at Round Top Campground. It is a very nice campground that is off of Route 15. Even though the campground is located close to a busy highway, it is very quiet at night. The staff members are very nice and helpful. If you make reservations ahead of time, tell them that you have a fifth wheel camper. My grandparents bought a fifth wheel last year and when we went to Round Top, they gave us a rather large site that was plenty big enough for us. We like to pay bingo, which they almost always have on the weekends. They also have an outdoor pool and an arcade for kids. I would highly recommend staying at this campground.
I am not sure what the deal is with Round Top. I think that the campground is under new management and is rapidly going downhill. The new staff members aren%26#39;t the nicest and don%26#39;t answer questions truthly, as mentioned in the latest review. I am very disappointed to hear this. I always thought it was one of the nicest campgrounds around. The people at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. The bathroom facilities were kept clean and we always enjoyed staying there. We probably would have stayed at Round Top again this summer, but my grandma died unexpectedly and it just wouldn%26#39;t be the same to go camping without her. After hearing such disappointing things about this campground, I am sorry to say that I no longer will recommend this campground to anyone unless the new owners get their act together. Try somewhere else. Gettysburg Campground is supposed to be pretty nice. I am not sure if they have any large sites for fifth wheels or not. You might want to check that campground out if you haven%26#39;t already done so.
We talked to our old neighbors about Round Top last night and didn%26#39;t like a word we heard. They go there all the time and really like(d) the campground, but they do not plan to ever go there again after this last time. They said that is really getting run down and seemed like a totally different campground. Apparently the new owners are from California and don%26#39;t have a clue what they are doing. The campground is supposively going to be turned into condos. I am very, very upset to learn that one of my favorite campgrounds has been sold to someone who could care less and that it has become so run down in such a short amount of time. Please do not stay here- the ';new'; Round Top doesn%26#39;t deserve any business.
If there%26#39;s a plan for condos on that site, it hasn%26#39;t been in the local newspaper. And development around here always makes the paper.
I also heard that Drummer boy is suppossed to be nice. Have never been there though, but it was highly rated in woodalls.
A nice site to get rv park reviews is rvparkreviews.com. Scroll down to the map and pick the state you are looking for. They have some great reviews.
We went camping at Drummer Boy one time, but I was too young to remember it. I think it is pretty nice, but not as nice as Round Top WAS before it changed hands this year. (IMALOCAL- my old neighbors just camped at Round Top this past weekend, so the plans for the condos might be too new to be in the paper.) I have also heard that Gettysburg Campground is very nice, so maybe you want to check that out.
I%26#39;m a local also. Try the Drummer Boy, it%26#39;s considered the best by the locals.
I live in Media and travel the 2 hrs to gettysburg every summer. I%26#39;ve done hotels, motels and campgrounds. As far as campgrounds go-- DRUMMER BOY WAS AWESOME.
We stay in their camping cabins and always have a wonderful time.
