For Gettysburg Farm RV Campground: Campground Name: Gettysburg Farm RV Campground Location: Dover, PA Overall Campground Rating (1-5): 4 Maneuverability*: No access problems Campground Notes: Mix of full and partial hookup sites, some sites also had 50 amp while some were 30 amp. Park has lots of animals you can buy food for at the store to feed them and pet them. My son found lots of trees around the campground that were good for climbing if your kid is into that. There is a short trail through the corn field which is nice to walk through. We had water issues with very dirty water. Our standard little blue Camco filter (20 micron) didn’t catch it and we had to buy a bigger Camco with a 5 micron filter to get clean water. They were working on the water as well and had a boil water notice up for over a week. River provided decent fishing; requires PA fishing license. If cell service is important to you, check your speedtest as you drive around to pick your site because it varies greatly from spot to spot. Appearance was in great shape and everything was nicely decorated and maintained. Site #: 336 Site Rating (1-5): 4 Site Notes: Very large back-in site with gravel pad, enough for trailer and two cars to park at. Very muddy after it rained but we were warned when we checked in it gets muddy here. Picnic table and fire ring were both in good condition with plenty of room around them to enjoy them. Amenity Rating (1-5): 4 Amenity Notes: Washers in the laundry room were closed; only the dryers were available. Main playground and basketball courts were in good shape. There was a smaller playground near our site that was mostly closed but my son loved the tire swing there. The sand volleyball court didn’t have a net but my son enjoyed digging in the sand. Huge grass field that was fun. Over Labor Day they had free activities and movies with food in the field. Pool was very good and large, ranging from 3’ to 5’ deep. There was also a smaller 1’ deep kiddie pool. The store was commendable and was always well stocked, also serving ice cream and hot food. They charged $4.50 for a bundle of firewood. Mini-golf greens were in poor shape but we had fun anyway, just added to the challenge. Reason for camping here: Recommendations from other RVers Miscellaneous Notes: In East Berlin, PA (10 minutes) Rocco’s Pizza had very good pizza and sandwiches, White Dove II Laundromat was the laundromat we used since the campground one was closed, and I had routine maintenance serviced on my truck at L&L Ford. No issues with White Dove II or L&L Ford. Weis Markets and GIANT (both about 15 minutes) were decent grocery stores. A Walmart was about 25 minutes away. Gifford Pinchot State Park nearby had some easy and beautiful hiking trails. Dates Stayed: 8/30-9/20 Price Paid: 0 with Thousand Trails Membership Weather: Generally good, hot (mid 80s) and humid when we first arrived dropping to cool (low 70s) by the time we left. Verizon Cell Quality**: Very spotty throughout the campground. We picked our site based on good signal. Our hotspot (without external antenna) managed 4 bars, 48Mb/s down and 8.7Mb/s up. Cell phones worked fine outside in our site but inside we had to connect to our hotspot. Cell phones walking around campsite would cut out or have no service occasionally. The tower did appear to go down a couple of times, once for about 40 minutes. Mail: Very good, picked up mail in the office. Accepts packages from all major carriers. * For reference we are pulling a 33’ long Jayco travel trailer with a 2016 F350 Crew Cab Short Bed 4x4 which is 22’ with hitch giving us a total length of 55’. **For reference we have two Google Pixel 2 XL on Verizon ‘Play More” unlimited data plans. For data we have an Inseego 8800L on Verizon’s expired prepaid unlimited hotspot plan. In areas of low signal we use a Netgear 6000450 MIMO antenna. Measurements are taken using the “Multi” test on Speedtest by Ookla. A review by sdplusztravels, a fulltime family of three living on the road in a RV.

For Gettysburg Farm RV Campground: One of our favorite campsites ever! Roomy, grass and trees! Flat and easy to park. But best of all— we’re on a real farm, parked next to several barnyards full of designer chickens and roosters, goats and sheep, two pigs and even peacocks!!! Rabbits and chickens and turkeys roam the place where we parked—we chose to be right next to the barnyards to enjoy our neighbors. Very close to Gettysburg (and York too for he Harley Davidson plNt too). Roomy showers with soap dishes AND hanging shelf too. Highly recommended, especially if you hVe kids!
