This is camping, if you are looking a relaxing outdoor space this is it. Accommodation for my family of 6 was perfect. It gave us all what we needed in a place to stay while traveling south.

The location was great for getting to everything but being somewhere quiet as well. The only thing I didn't like was that it got a little hot in the cabin and you are not allowed to put the air conditioner down past 70 degrees.

The property seemed like it had a lot of amenities for a family vacation. Unfortunately, the management team did not open most of the amenities due to Covid. At first we understood, but then we saw a tiny pool packed with people while the larger pool remained closed. It made absolutely no sense.

I stayed at Drummer Boy Campground and RV, and it was a really great experience. The campground is very big, so you should bring a bike or wear good walking shoes, because there is a lot of space to cover. I actually liked how big it was, since there was always something to see and do. Everyone there was very friendly, and it felt super safe the whole time. That made it even more enjoyable. There are also tons of activities for families, so kids and adults can all have fun. Whether you’re hanging out at the campground or heading out to explore, there’s always something going on. One of the best parts is that Drummer Boy is really close to Gettysburg. If you’re interested in history, this campground is perfect because you can easily visit all the battlefields, museums, and other historic sites nearby. It’s awesome for families who like to learn about the past while also enjoying the outdoors. We stayed in one of the cabins, and it was very comfortable. The cabins have most of what you need for a couple nights, but if you plan to cook, you should bring your own pots, pans, or cooking tools. The cabins are cozy and clean, and they make a great choice if you don’t have an RV. Overall, I highly recommend Drummer Boy Campground and RV. It’s fun, safe, close to amazing history, and a perfect spot for families.

Over all a real nice place and would come back again. Its big, but you still feel secluded. Only reason its not a full 5 so I’ll say 4.7. There was an occasional smell of sewage, the cabins are older but clean and if it isn’t a weekend you can’t access the golf or get firewood. Overall great experience and would recommend it if staying in the area especially with kids.

The place is really nice with friendly staff. The only issue we had was trying tontske advantage of the early check in option. I was told to call in advance, i called and was told to call the next day (day before arrival), but it would not be an issue since my cottage was vacant the day before. I called and was told I was unable to check in early and had to call the next day (day of arrival). Seemed to be some miscommunication so we just chose to leave later in day to arrive at normal check in. Besides this issue the stay was amazing, the place is awesome and conveniently located for all the areas attractions. Will definitely be back!!

Pretty cheap comparable to other places. We stayed in a cabin with three rooms. The ac is only in the living room so you have to keep your doors open if you want your room cool. Beds were a little hard but the bunk beds are not comfortable at all. They are meant for children who don’t care. I wish they supplied coffee (coffee machine only) and they didn’t have any coffee at the camp store as well which was our biggest inconvenience we had. We had a nice little fire the one night and the covered porch while it rained was very peaceful! It’s a perfect location to visit Gettysburg. Everything was a 10 minute drive or less!

Comfortable stay

We stayed for two nights in the premier loft cottage and it was lovely. We camp often and typically take our camper but decided to try this option. There was plenty of space, linens were provided and we had a bathroom with shower. Very much like an Air B&B.

We had some issues at checkin with getting keys to the correct property- and due to that ultimately stayed in the wrong cabin. However, the staff was quick to get us what we needed, and very friendly and helpful. We’d stay again!
