Campgrounds near Gettysburg
Gettysburg sits in south-central Pennsylvania at the edge of Gettysburg National Military Park, one of the most visited Civil War sites in the country. The town is compact and RV-friendly, with several private campgrounds clustered within a short drive of the battlefield auto tour, downtown museums, and the Eisenhower National Historic Site.
Options run from full-hookup resorts to wooded family parks. Artillery Ridge Camping Resort sits close to the battlefield, while Drummer Boy Camping Resort and Gettysburg Battlefield Resort lean toward larger family-oriented properties with pools and activity programs. Round Top Campground and Gettysburg Campground offer quieter, wooded sites a few miles from the historic core.
Because Gettysburg National Military Park does not operate a campground of its own, RV travelers rely on these private parks. Most sit within a fifteen-minute drive of the visitor center, which makes them practical bases for day trips into the park, out to nearby orchards in Adams County, or south into Maryland's Catoctin Mountain area.
Things to do around Gettysburg
The main draw is Gettysburg National Military Park. The self-guided auto tour covers roughly twenty-four miles and sixteen stops across the battlefield, and Licensed Battlefield Guides can be hired at the Museum and Visitor Center for in-vehicle tours. The Museum and Visitor Center houses the restored Cyclorama painting of Pickett's Charge and the orientation film A New Birth of Freedom, narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Beyond the battlefield, visitors can see the Eisenhower National Historic Site (accessed by shuttle from the park visitor center), the Shriver House Museum, and the David Wills House downtown. Adams County is also apple country, with pick-your-own orchards, cider mills, and farm stands active from late summer through fall.
For outdoor time, Michaux State Forest and Caledonia State Park lie a short drive west, offering hiking, fishing, and swimming.

When to visit Gettysburg
- spring
March - May
63° / 41°F 85 mmMild days, frequent showers; battlefield blooms.
- summer
June - August
84° / 63°F 100 mmPeak bookings; anniversary week fills months out.
- fall
September - November
64° / 45°F 95 mmCool nights and fall color; apple harvest season.
- winter
December - February
39° / 25°F 75 mmCold and quiet; most private campgrounds closed.
Peak season runs from Memorial Day through the anniversary of the battle in early July and continues through Labor Day. Living-history programs, ranger walks, and reenactment events cluster in this window, and private campgrounds book heaviest around the July 1 to July 4 anniversary weekend. Reserve several months ahead for those dates.
Spring and fall are strong shoulder seasons. April and May bring mild days and blooming dogwoods across the battlefield, while late September through mid-October delivers fall color and cooler nights well suited to RV travel. Fall also overlaps with apple harvest and the National Apple Harvest Festival held in nearby Arendtsville.
Winter is quiet. The battlefield roads generally remain open to vehicles, but most private campgrounds in the area close or reduce operations from late October or November through March or April. Travelers planning off-season trips should confirm open dates directly with each park before booking.

I recommend this RV, driving this rig was simple and comfortable. The layout and design of the interior space was perfect and roomy. The dining set makes into a very nice long bed. I will rent this one again.

How to book
All five campgrounds listed here are privately operated, so bookings go directly through each property's website or reservation line rather than through Recreation.gov or the Pennsylvania state parks system. Most accept online reservations, hold sites with a deposit, and require full payment closer to arrival.
For summer weekends and the July battle anniversary, book several months out. Rigs longer than thirty-five feet, slide-outs, and full-hookup requests should be flagged at booking, since pull-through availability varies by park. Holiday weekends often carry minimum-night stays.
Cancellation policies differ. Some parks refund with notice a week or two out; others hold deposits for peak dates. Check each campground's policy before paying, and ask about early-arrival or late-checkout options if touring the battlefield on either end of the stay.
What to expect
Gettysburg-area campgrounds skew family-oriented. Expect pools, playgrounds, mini-golf, and scheduled activities at the larger resorts, and quieter wooded loops at the smaller ones. Cell coverage is generally reliable across the region, and most parks offer Wi-Fi near central buildings, though signal at individual sites can be uneven.
Sites range from basic water-and-electric to full hookups with fifty-amp service. Roads within town are two-lane and can get congested near the visitor center on summer weekends, so plan arrivals outside peak afternoon hours when possible.
The battlefield itself is a national park, which means quiet hours, leashed pets, and a no-collecting rule on artifacts and plants. Firewood should be bought locally to avoid moving invasive pests, and campfire rules follow each private park's policy and any active county burn bans.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Gettysburg, PA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Gettysburg, PA?
RV rental in Gettysburg, PA is surprisingly affordable for one of America's most iconic historic destinations. On RVezy, you'll typically find travel trailers from around $90 to $150 per night, campervans and Class B rentals from $150 to $225, and larger Class C motorhomes from $175 to $275 per night. Prices peak around the July 1 to 3 battle anniversary and during fall foliage in October, so booking a midweek trip in May or early June often unlocks the best rates. Looking for cheap RV rental Gettysburg, PA options? Filter by travel trailers, message hosts about multi-night discounts, and consider shoulder-season dates. Many Adams County hosts also offer weekly discounts that can drop the nightly rate by 10 to 20%.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Gettysburg%2C%20PennsylvaniaDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Gettysburg?
Great news for first-time renters: a regular Pennsylvania Class C driver's license (the standard license almost every adult already has) is all you need to drive virtually every RV rental in Gettysburg, PA. PennDOT only requires a Non-Commercial Class A or B license for rigs with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) over 26,000 pounds, and the motorhomes, campervans, and travel trailers listed on RVezy fall well under that threshold. You must be 25 or older to book on RVezy, and you'll upload a photo of your license through the platform for quick verification. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your home license and you're ready to roll toward the battlefield.
pa.gov/agencies/penndot/driver-vehicle-services.htmlWhat protection and roadside help do I get with my Gettysburg RV rental?
You're covered from the moment you hit the road. Every RVezy booking includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so if you get a flat on US-15 near the battlefield or need a jump start at Artillery Ridge Campground, help is one phone call away. The protection plan covers most accidental damage to the vehicle, giving you peace of mind without arranging a separate policy. During checkout you choose your coverage level, so you can match the protection to your comfort level and trip length. It's not traditional auto insurance, but it's designed to let you focus on Little Round Top and the Cyclorama, not worst-case scenarios.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Gettysburg RV trip plans change?
Booking is low-risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and every booking comes with a money-back grace period right after you book, so you can lock in your dates with confidence. After that window, refund amounts depend on how far out from your trip you cancel and on extenuating circumstances like severe weather or natural disasters, which Pennsylvania can deliver in the form of summer thunderstorms or winter snowstorms. The full, current policy is available on the RVezy website during checkout. If a hurricane remnant or nor'easter threatens your Gettysburg RV trip, reach out to RVezy support right away, they're available to help you sort out options.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Gettysburg RV trip?
Absolutely, Gettysburg is one of the most dog-loving destinations on the East Coast. To find a pet-friendly RV rental in Gettysburg, PA, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and message the host if you have a larger breed or more than one pup. Once you arrive, your dog can join you on leash across most of Gettysburg National Military Park, including Little Round Top, the Peach Orchard, and the auto tour route, a rare treat among National Park sites. Gettysburg Campground and Artillery Ridge Campground both warmly welcome dogs with grassy walking areas. Local insider tip: stop at the Lincoln Square dog-friendly patios downtown for a post-battlefield treat.
nps.gov/gett/planyourvisit/pets.htmCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Gettysburg?
Yes, and it's the easiest way to start your trip. Many RVezy hosts offer RV delivery in Gettysburg, PA directly to popular spots like Gettysburg Campground on Knoxlyn Road, Artillery Ridge Campground on Taneytown Road, Round Top Campground, or the Gettysburg Battlefield KOA in Greenwood. Your host will park the rig, level it, hook up water, power, and sewer, then walk you through every system, from the awning to the propane to the holding tanks. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see hosts offering this service, and check their listing for the delivery fee (often a flat rate within 25 miles of Gettysburg). It's perfect if it's your first time renting an RV.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Gettysburg%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow far can I drive on a Gettysburg RV trip, and do rentals come with unlimited mileage?
You'll have plenty of range to explore. Every RVezy listing displays the host's mileage policy upfront, and many Gettysburg-area hosts offer 100 to 150 free miles per night, with some offering RV rental with unlimited mileage for longer trips. That's more than enough for a classic Gettysburg RV trip: Hershey is about 35 miles northeast, Lancaster's Amish Country is roughly 55 miles east, Washington, D.C. sits about 80 miles south, Antietam National Battlefield is just 25 miles southwest, and Harpers Ferry, WV is about 50 miles away. Planning to roam farther? Message the host before booking to ask about a flat-rate mileage bundle, they often offer one.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Gettysburg%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhere can I park or camp my RV in Gettysburg?
You've got fantastic options right in the heart of Civil War country. Artillery Ridge Campground sits on the actual grounds of the Union Artillery Reserve, walking distance to battlefield trails. Gettysburg Campground hugs Marsh Creek just 3 miles west of town with 260 full-hookup sites. Round Top Campground (Thousand Trails) offers a resort feel with a pool, and the Gettysburg Battlefield KOA in nearby Greenwood is a family favorite. For state park camping with hiking, Caledonia State Park is 20 miles west and Pine Grove Furnace State Park is about 30 miles north along the Appalachian Trail. Need where to park an RV in Gettysburg during a battlefield visit? Use the designated Bus and RV lot at the National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center on Baltimore Pike.
nps.gov/gett/planyourvisit/oversized-vehicle-and-rv-parking.htmWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip to Gettysburg?
Honestly, Gettysburg shines in three distinct windows. Late September through October is the local favorite: highs in the 60s and 70s, brilliant Adams County fall foliage, fewer crowds, and harvest festivals at nearby orchards. May and early June bring blooming dogwoods, comfortable 70-degree days, and ideal RV camping Gettysburg weather before the summer humidity arrives. July is peak season because of the battle anniversary on July 1 to 3, when reenactments and Living History programs fill the town, expect highs near 86°F, lively crowds, and the most atmospheric tours. Winters drop to the 20s and 30s with occasional snow, so most campgrounds operate roughly April through late October. Pro tip: book October weekends 4 to 6 months ahead.
weather.gov/ctp/I've never rented an RV before. How does the pickup and walkthrough work in Gettysburg?
First time renting an RV? You'll be in great hands. At pickup, your RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation that typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, covering how to drive the rig, operate the awning, run the propane stove and fridge, hook up at a campground, manage fresh and waste water tanks, and use the generator if equipped. Many Gettysburg hosts even include a printed cheat sheet and their cell number for questions during your trip. If you'd rather skip driving altogether, choose a host offering delivery to Artillery Ridge or Gettysburg Campground, you'll arrive to a fully set-up RV. Pro tip: ask your host about the easiest route to avoid the narrow streets around Lincoln Square.
nps.gov/gett/planyourvisit/basicinfo.htmWhat happens if I have a breakdown or issue during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance, so whether you've got a flat tire on the Lincoln Highway (US-30), a dead battery at the Eisenhower National Historic Site parking lot, or a propane issue at Caledonia State Park, one call gets help dispatched. RVezy's customer support team is also available around the clock to help coordinate repairs, parts, or a replacement option. Your host is usually your first quick call for small questions (like which switch turns on the water pump), and they're often local to Adams County and able to respond fast. Save both numbers in your phone before you pull out of the driveway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best road trip routes I can take from Gettysburg in an RV?
Gettysburg is one of the best East Coast launchpads for a multi-stop RV road trip from Gettysburg. Popular routes include the 25-mile Civil War loop south to Antietam National Battlefield in Maryland; a 50-mile run to Harpers Ferry, WV where three states meet at the Potomac and Shenandoah; a 55-mile cruise east to Lancaster's Amish Country; a 35-mile sweet escape to Hersheypark and Hershey's Chocolate World; and a 90-mile northern push to Knoebels Amusement Resort. Heading farther? Shenandoah National Park is about 130 miles south for a stunning Skyline Drive extension. Cross-border note: travel into Canada may be allowed depending on the host and protection plan, just ask before booking; trips into Mexico aren't permitted on RVezy.
nps.gov/anti/index.htmWhat kind of fuel mileage should I expect, and how do I budget for gas?
Easy to plan once you know the numbers. Most Class C motorhomes get 8 to 12 miles per gallon (MPG), campervans (Class B) average 15 to 20 MPG, and a truck towing a travel trailer typically lands around 10 to 14 MPG. Pennsylvania gas prices tend to run slightly above the national average, so budget accordingly when filling up at the Sheetz or Rutter's stations along US-15 and Lincoln Highway. For a typical 4-day Gettysburg RV trip covering 250 to 400 miles, plan on $90 to $180 in fuel for most rigs. Pro tip: top off in Maryland or West Virginia on a day trip, fuel taxes are noticeably lower than in PA.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Gettysburg?
Sooner than you'd think, but you've got options. For the July 1 to 3 battle anniversary weekend, book 6 to 9 months ahead at Artillery Ridge, Gettysburg Campground, and the Gettysburg Battlefield KOA, these fill up fast. October fall foliage weekends and Memorial Day weekend typically need 3 to 4 months of lead time. Spring and weekday summer trips can often be snagged 2 to 4 weeks out. State park sites at Caledonia and Pine Grove Furnace book through the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system and open 11 months in advance. Local insider tip: if private campgrounds are full, check Codorus State Park (20 miles east near Hanover), it's the locals' backup and often has openings.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks.htmlWhat are the local driving conditions like around Gettysburg?
Driving around Gettysburg is genuinely RV-friendly. The main routes, US-15, US-30 (Lincoln Highway), and PA-97 (Baltimore Pike), are wide, gently rolling, and well-maintained. The town itself has a tight historic square at Lincoln Square with narrow one-way streets, so most RVers stick to the perimeter and use the designated Bus and RV lot at the National Military Park Visitor Center on Baltimore Pike. Within the battlefield, the 24-mile auto tour route is paved and accommodates RVs, but a few side avenues have low-hanging tree branches, so a Class C or smaller is ideal. Watch for summer thunderstorms (quick but powerful) and occasional winter snow squalls. Pro tip: avoid downtown between 4 and 6 p.m. on summer weekends.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Pages/default.aspxWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Gettysburg?
You'll be pleasantly surprised by how well-equipped the best campgrounds near Gettysburg, PA are. Gettysburg Campground, Artillery Ridge, and Round Top all offer full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, and sewer), bathhouses with hot showers, on-site dump stations, laundry, pools, Wi-Fi, and camp stores. Most also rent firewood and have potable water fill stations near the entrance. Caledonia State Park offers electric sites and a centralized dump station but is more rustic, which is part of its charm. Pro tip: if you're staying off-grid or boondocking on a day trip, you can dump tanks and fill fresh water at Gettysburg Campground for a small fee even if you're not a registered guest, very handy on travel days.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/caledonia-state-park.htmlWhat's actually inside the RV I rent in Gettysburg?
More than you'd expect. Most motorhome rental Gettysburg, PA listings come fully equipped: real beds (queen or king in the master, plus bunks or convertible dinettes), a kitchen with fridge, freezer, microwave, propane stove, and oven, an indoor bathroom with shower and toilet, air conditioning and a furnace for those crisp Adams County evenings, and seatbelted seating for everyone in your party. Class C and Class A rigs typically include a TV, and many hosts add Wi-Fi hotspots, outdoor speakers, and generators for off-grid use. Travel trailers and campervan rental Gettysburg, PA options offer the same comforts in more compact layouts. Check each listing's amenity list and message the host if you need something specific like a CPAP-friendly outlet or extra bedding.
nps.gov/gett/planyourvisit/basicinfo.htmWhat add-ons and pickup options are available for my Gettysburg RV rental?
Hosts make it easy to customize your trip. Common RVezy add-ons in the Gettysburg area include kitchen kits, bedding and linen packages, camp chairs and tables, portable grills, generators, bike racks, and Starlink or Wi-Fi hotspots. Many hosts charge $50 to $150 for delivery within 25 miles of town (Artillery Ridge, Gettysburg Campground, and the KOA are popular drop spots), and most offer flexible pickup windows between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Mileage policies vary by host, with 100 free miles per night being common. Pro tip: ask about a battlefield-ready bundle, some Gettysburg hosts include a battlefield map, cooler, and folding chairs perfect for an evening at Little Round Top.
nps.gov/gett/planyourvisit/things2do.htmHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure. You'll pay through the RVezy platform with a credit card (never directly to the host), which protects both sides and keeps your booking eligible for the included protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance. Most hosts require a refundable security deposit, typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV class, that's held (not charged) before pickup and released after a clean return. To avoid deposit issues on your Gettysburg trip: do the walkaround video with your host at pickup and dropoff, return the RV with fuel and propane at the same level you received them, dump the holding tanks (or pay the dump fee), and report any issues immediately through the RVezy messaging system so everything is documented.
