GuideGreat campsite. Fire pit, picnic table, swimming pool ( not open), miniature golf course, laundromat, bathrooms, showers, dump station, gathering areas for groups, playground, and even a horse area and stalls for horses. Dog friendly. Staff was very helpful and curious.
GuideWhere we were camping had blown up their dump station. Artillery Ridge helped us out. $10. to dump. If we come to camp in Gettysburg, it will be hear.
GuideYou just can't beat a pennsylvania park. This one is not an exception. Nice clean restroom, plenty of room. Now, what cost a star. Yes, it rained like hell. When we broke camp and go dump. The dump station was overflowing with sewer. Go to the guard shack to tell them, and find another site. None there. Can I go to an unused full hookup to dump? No! I would have to pay for the site. Two hours later, we found a place to dump for $10.
ScoutWe stayed in site #133 with our 34'10" travel trailer/toy hauler. Overall, we really like the site. It's spacious, fairly level, heavily wooded, and feels surprisingly private. There's plenty of room around the camper, and although there are other campsites and cabins nearby, the trees provide a lot of separation. We had a nice large area for our chairs, fire pit, picnic table, and dogs. The biggest thing to know about #133 is the approach. We were instructed to pass the site, go around the loop, and then make a left turn into it. With our nearly 35' trailer, that would have required an extremely tight, almost 90-degree turn between the trees, and we did not feel we could safely make it. There is actually visible damage on one of the trees at the entrance, so it appears others may have had difficulty with the turn as well. Instead, we approached from the opposite direction and positioned the camper with our doors facing the main campsite area. That put the water and electric hookups on the opposite side, but our hoses and cord were long enough to run underneath the camper and reach without a problem. Once we figured that out, the site worked very well for us. I initially thought we probably wouldn't choose #133 again because of the awkward setup, but after spending the weekend here, I would. Now that we know how to approach and position our trailer, it really is a nice site. If you're bringing a longer travel trailer, just be prepared to do a little maneuvering and make sure your water hose and electrical cord have enough length if you decide to orient your camper the way we did.
ScoutSimple and friendly check in process. Clean and well-maintained site.
ScoutThis is are first camping adventure in are new travel trailer. Camp ground is quiet and well maintained. Bath rooms and shower facilities are fantastic.
GuidePrimitive feel with full hookups. I have a 22' trailer, and it fits fine. I hope you like trains. Plenty of them go by.
RangerWe stayed at Little Bennett starting on Labor Day Monday and left before the weekend, so it is hard to say how this looks when the campground is full of life. They had quite a few activities for families and a pavilion capable of concerts and such, but there was minimal activity during our stay. My biggest complaint is that the gate code changed and we didn't get any notice--so after a long day and a dinner out near Baltimore (nearly an hour away), I had to call the police to get back to my camper. Otherwise, the campsite was relatively spacious and quiet. The bugs were a little rough. Lots of whitetail running around.
RangerThis KOA offers close and cozy get away near Harper’s Ferry Virginia. Technically within walking distance to the National Park shuttle to downtown. Spots are open and spaced out and they offer private showers/bathrooms

Riverside views: Harpers Ferry Campground features sites directly along the Potomac. "Gorgeous spot on the river. Small campground with not a lot of amenities BUT THAT RIVER IS GORGEOUS," explains Darcy S. All camping spots face the water, creating an immersive outdoor experience despite the proximity to rail lines.
Water recreation: Cunningham Falls State Park offers a 43-acre lake with multiple recreational opportunities. "There is a very nice network of trails, most if not all were leashed dog friendly," says Ray & Terri F. The park includes a sandy beach area for swimming during season, and permits trolling motors for fishing access.
Train noise: Harpers Ferry and Brunswick campgrounds have active rail lines nearby. "The train tracks behind the campground with a train going through day and night. For me it's a minor inconvenience," mentions Maggie A. from Harpers Ferry Campground. Bringing earplugs is recommended for light sleepers as trains run through the night.
Busy weekends: Harpers Ferry/Civil War Battlefields KOA experiences high capacity during peak season. "We got lucky and got an end site despite arriving without a reservation. To top it all off, we got there during get one free sale," reports Erin S. Reservations are highly recommended, especially for prime end sites or holiday weekends.
Site selection matters: KOA campsites vary significantly in quality. "Heads up, big rig owners! Our Pull-thru FHU Patio site had a serious slope. It was impossible to level my 45' motorhome without elevating the front wheels dangerously in the air," warns Matt S. Requesting specific site information prior to booking can prevent setup challenges.
Kid-friendly activities: "They've got a great water park, playground and bounce pad feature. Definitely recommend for families and/or anyone looking for easy convenience camping," shares Beth C. about Jellystone Park. The campground schedules daily organized activities including arts and crafts, movie nights, and character meet-and-greets.
Lake swimming options: The William Houck area at Cunningham Falls features family swimming areas. "Great campground. A bit pricey, but has a full hookup loop. Other loops are tent only. Wonderful bath house. Lots of stuff to do," notes PattyD T. The lake includes designated shallow areas appropriate for younger children.
Multi-generational appeal: Ramblin' Pines offers activities for various age groups. "Nice large sites with friendly staff. Lots of free activities for children and it's close to home," says Christopher M.

Site selection strategy: For privacy at Little Bennett, choose sites at loop ends. "Only came through for a weekend but the sites were well maintained, and felt separated enough to have some privacy," notes Michael A. End sites typically offer more space and less foot traffic from other campers.
Hookup considerations: Manor area at Cunningham Falls has limited utilities. "We stayed in a travel trailer with no hookups at our site. Some sites offer electric. There are two water spigots on opposite sides of the loops, but this area has no dump station," reports Aaron C. RVers should arrive with fresh water tanks filled and plan for dump station locations.
Large rig limitations: Not all campgrounds accommodate larger vehicles. "Our section had mostly pop-ups and mid-size travel trailers, so the sites were all grass and gravel. However, the area with pull-through sites for big rigs was just a huge RV parking lot. All roads were very narrow and winding," explains Jen V. about Harpers Ferry KOA. Some loops restrict RV length, requiring advance research for suitable placement.
