Best RV Parks & Resorts near Fayetteville, PA

Several RV-friendly campgrounds can be found within driving distance of Fayetteville, Pennsylvania. Gettysburg Campground offers full hookup sites with 50-amp electric service and is open from early April through mid-November. Drummer Boy Camping Resort provides pull-through RV pads with water, sewer, and electric hookups on gravel sites set among trees. "Sites are very close to each other, there's no privacy, and you can hear everyone and everything," noted one RV camper about the area's campgrounds. Western Village RV Park in Carlisle accommodates big rigs year-round with 50-amp service, while Twin Bridge Campground near Chambersburg operates seasonally from April to October with more limited hookup options but offers electric and water connections for RVs.

Full hookup availability varies significantly across the region's RV parks. While some locations like Gettysburg Farm RV Campground feature 50-amp service and sewer hookups, others have unusual placement of utility connections. One reviewer mentioned, "Water and electric are in awkward spot on our site," highlighting the importance of checking specific site details before arrival. Most campgrounds near Fayetteville require reservations, particularly during peak fall season when Gettysburg attracts numerous visitors. Navigation to certain parks involves narrow roads with tight turns, and several campgrounds have reported uneven or sloping sites that may require leveling blocks. Dump stations are available at all major RV parks, though some seasonal facilities close their sanitary services during winter months.

    Ramblin' Pines

    Good location to Baltimore/Frederick Attractions

    We stay at Ramblin Pines because it is close to family and a good proximity to visiting Baltimore and Frederick. The campground is quite large with lots of seasonal sites but there are some transient spaces that can accommodate big-rigs. In addition to RV sites, there are tent sites and cabins. 

    We stayed in one of the transient sites (#FR14) across from the RV storage lot. It was a long gravel back-in with 50-amp FHU. The water hook-up is in a pit so it doesn’t freeze so look under the cover. It can be a bit difficult to reach and you have to get on the ground to hook-up. Based on the location of the spigot, we were not able to attach our water filter (we drank the tap water anyway and it was good). The electric worked fine and were able to reach the sewer with our 20’ hose. The view out of our front window was of the storage lot which was not the most scenic. However, parking in the FR row is the easiest place for big-rigs to park since some roads in the park are tight and hard to navigate with the trees and with the two-way traffic. 

    There are lots of amenities and it seems some people come here for the activities and things to do. It is a destination for many campers. They have lots of themed events, the most popular being the entire month of October celebrating like Halloween. They set up a haunted walk through the woods, have pumpkin carving, trick or treating, a costume contest, haunted hayride, and site decoration contest every weekend. If you want to camp on the weekends– book early because we found it very difficult to get a reservation during October and you have to pay in full and there are no refunds for cancellations. Other weekends have live music, bingo, hayrides, cornhole tournaments, crafts, and more. Basically, there is something every weekend. 

    Huge fishing pond, shuffleboard, horseshoes, large dog park with agility, game room, playgrounds, jump pillow, heated swimming pool, and exercise room (which was decent but didn’t have a television to occupy your time), 18-hole mini golf. A short but nice hiking trail winds through the woods and is nice for walking dogs. There is a large covered pavilion with picnic tables for big gatherings. There is free Wi-Fi but it doesn’t reach sites in the back of the campground. Wi-Fi is great if you are near the office/store. The camp store is fairly large with some food/beverage items, t-shirts, large amount of RV supplies, and misc. other items. There is a coffee maker with free coffee.

    Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA

    More "glamping" than camping, but great for families!

    This campground is huge, and very crowded. We were there in the days leading up to 4th of July, and there was not a single empty site. 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. We did fine with the pup, but can’t imagine trying to navigate a large motorhome through there. Crowding/space issues aside, this is a really nice (albeit expensive) campground. Almost everything, from the grounds, to rec halls, to pool and laundry, was sparkling clean and beautifully maintained. Bathrooms were reasonably clean as well, although they could certainly use some TLC and updating (most MD state park bathhouses are nicer).Staff was very friendly, as well. Tons of stuff to do here, especially for families: arts & crafts, indoor movie theatre, games, civil war reenactments, wine tastings, etc. We were certainly never bored, and the kids thought they had died and gone to heaven. Our site was extremely close to our neighbor's site, but still surprisingly roomy and decently shaded. We were right next to the pancake hut (free daily pancake breakfast included during the on-season) and playground, and very close to other activities. Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is just a stone's throw away, with great hiking, sight-seeing, and cute little shops.

    Overall, this is a really nice place, but much more of a resort than a campground in my opinion. The kids loved it, but I’ll always prefer the wooded seclusion of a state or national park. However, if I was looking for a more action-packed, activities-filled “glamping” experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport MD

    KID FRIENDLY

    This is a huge campground geared around kids. We didn't bring any with us this time and were just staying here overnight. We are in pull through site 753, pretty level gravel site, full hookups, picnic table and fire ring. The site wasn't well cleaned, grease dumped in the gravel, dead grass, lots of stink bugs! Also had to finagle the cable line to get it to work. There are very clean showers and restrooms, large camp store, restaurant, mining for kids, Waterpark, and pool. Many cabins, pull through, back in, and tent sites.

    Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA

    Awesome campground while exploring Gettysburg Battlefield!

    We couldn't have been more pleased with this campground! The usual variety of sites, back-in and pull through, 50/30/20 amp service with full hookups.  Cable has the usual channels, about 20, available for $2.00 per night.  WIFI is free and we had good service, even though we were quite far from the office.  The site was level and needed no additional blocking, a fire pit and picnic table with ample outdoor sitting room.  A wooded setting gave plenty of shade and lent to the atmosphere of having more room than we actually did.  Located about 4 miles from town it is far enough for that country feel but close enough to be convenient.  The camp store was well stocked with basic needs as was the gift shop.  Trash is picked up daily, just leave it at the entrance to your site when you leave in the morning.  Cell service wasn't the best, Verizon had about 2 bars.  I can't say enough good things about the staff, from check-in and being escorted to our site with help backing in to filling up the propane on the way out everyone was courteous and helpful.  We felt secure at all times, and noticed a staff member frequently driving through on a golf cart.  A dog playground, kiddie playground, pool, putt putt, and other activities for the family.  All in all a very positive experience and a definite thumbs up for this campground!!

    Lazy A Campground

    Down home country

    I loved this campground. It is not a large campground in number of sites but has huge open fields for lots of outdoor fun. It has tent sites and level rv sites with 30 amp and water. No sewer. And one 50 amp site. Most sites have partial shade from the tree line. Each site has a fire ring and plastic picnic table. It has a creek for swimming or wading at your own risk. It also has horseshoes, playground, large outdoor picnic area, as well as a clean bathhouse with showers. There is a dump station and trash dumpster for your convenience on the way out of the campground.

    Twin Bridge Campground

    Great Site, Great Staff

    Took our new Fifth Wheel for a shakedown trip and decided to try Twin Bridges Campground. Staff was polite, amenities are great and clean, and everyone was friendly and polite. Big spacious sites, and a honeywagon to make things easier (there weren't any full hookup sites the I saw besides the long term spaces). Would definatley stay here again.

    Little Buffalo State Park Campground

    A Hidden Gem In Central PA

    The campground has approximately 35 sites, most with water and electric, which is rare for many PA state parks. The sites are mostly level, gravel, and good sized for averaged sized RV’s. Larger rigs may have some issues with site length on a few sites, so check ahead of time, but there are a couple pull through sites. Fire rings and picnic tables are at each site, but no wifi in the campground area. We did have cell phone service at our campsite.

    The sites along the outer side of the look are more wooded than the inner sites.  The bathhouse is modern, very clean and well maintained. A playground is near bathhouse in the campground, along with several hiking trails. The dump station is easily accessible. Firewood is also available for purchase at the campground.

    The campground is located across the road from the actual state park, which is beautiful and well maintained. A large lake is the centerpiece surrounded by multiple hiking trails, picnic areas, and a large swimming pool/aquatics area (in season). The road going to the park and campground is well maintained, with very wide shoulders for easy access, biking, and running. Fishing and boat rental are available on the lake.

    We had a wonderful weekend at LBSP and plan to include it on our “Go-To” places to visit and camp.

    Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA

    Camping Gem Near the Battlefields

    We had a great stay at Gettysburg/ Battlefield KOA Holiday in Gettysburg, PA. 

    We stayed in a level pull-thru site(#14) with deluxe picnic table, swinging Adirondack glider, and fire pit. The site was big enough for our motor home and Jeep. Full hook-ups with 50-amp service. 

    Lots of mature shade trees made the site more comfortable given the July heat. The paver patio with seating and natural landscaping with well-placed boulders made it quite comfortable. 

    Wow, what a great place to stay when visiting the town of Gettysburg and nearby battlefields. 

    From the escort to our site and friendly interactions with the staff, we immediately felt at home. The site was covered with clean gravel(which I like to keep sand and dirt outside), the camp store was well-stocked, the pool was inviting, the utilities all worked great, daily trash collection was convenient, immaculate landscaping, and a 2:00 PM check-out make this place a gem when visiting the Gettysburg area. 

    Just 15-minutes to historic sites, restaurants, and breweries. 

    Everything seemed clean and well-maintained. 

    Bottom Line: This is a great campground in a great location and we can’t wait to go back! 

    THINGS I ESPECIALLY LIKED: 

    1. Beautifully landscaped site 

    2. Well maintained and clean campground 

    3. Close to town of Gettysburg and battlefields

    Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground

    Basic amenities and activities for the average camper

    Large campground with electric RV/camper sites as well as non-electric tent sites. Several bathroom and shower facilities. Lake-side sites are available and each site comes equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and parking spot. Friendly staff, decently maintained. There were several planks missing from our picnic table and the parking spot was a mud hole. Some pet friendly sites are available as well. A snapping turtle stopped by for a visit at our campsite and ended up laying eggs! Quite a sight to see, there is plenty of wildlife around to enjoy during your stay.


Guide to Fayetteville

Camping opportunities near Fayetteville, Pennsylvania include both public and privately owned sites surrounded by rolling hills and hardwood forests. The region sits at elevations between 640-800 feet with mild summers and cold winters, creating seasonal camping patterns across facilities. Fall temperatures range from 40-65°F while summer camping season typically spans April through October with most campgrounds operating at reduced capacity during winter months.

What to do

Visit historical sites: Harpers Ferry Campground provides riverside camping with easy access to nearby historical attractions. "The hike that leads to the lookout about Harpers Ferry was fantastic. This hike takes you well above the town settled in West Virginia. While some points are pretty steep don't let this deter you from completing it," notes Anthony S.

Enjoy water activities: Located along waterways, several campgrounds offer fishing and water recreation. At Harpers Ferry Campground, "It is right on the river so you can go swimming right from your campsite! The camp ground is part of river riders which offers lazy tubing, white water tubing, zip lining, and great kayaking down the river," according to Robin W.

Farm experiences: Farms converted to campgrounds provide unique activities. "We came amidst COVID-19, so the many activities and events this location usually holds are down, BUT there is still fun to be had here! We've enjoyed mini-golf, feeding the animals, 'hiking' through the cornfield, fishing, and campfires," shares Kasey M. about Gettysburg Farm.

What campers like

Family-friendly amenities: Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm offers recreational options for all ages. "Great park and probably still one of our kids favorites after being on the road for over a year this one easily stands out as a must stop!" writes Michael J. about the campground.

Creekside locations: Sites along water features rate highly among visitors. "Really nice place. Recommend a site by the creek. Cool laid back staff and clean bathrooms nice playground for kids," Brandon W. comments about Gettysburg Campground.

Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention clean showers and bathrooms as important factors. "We used the bathhouses for our showers and they were much cleaner and better than others we've been in," notes Sabrina H. when describing facilities at Drummer Boy Camping Resort.

What you should know

Site spacing varies significantly: Some campgrounds offer more privacy than others. "Trees lined the sides of our site which was nice for privacy and shade but the site was really narrow which didn't leave much room for a patio to sit outside with our friends," reports Nancy W. about their experience at Drummer Boy.

Off-season advantages: Visiting outside peak times can provide a better experience at rv sites near Fayetteville, Pennsylvania. "Off-season so not crowded. Pool was clean and quite good sized, had it to ourselves due to season," explains John L. about Round Top Campground.

Wildlife encounters: Natural elements can impact camping comfort. "The tent sites have numerous walnut trees, so there's a bit of a hazard there when walking around trying to dodge the falling nuts (cars are targets too!)," warns Dave G. about staying at Gettysburg Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Look for dedicated play areas: Many campgrounds offer recreational facilities for children. At Raystown Lake / Saxton KOA, "We stayed during Bigfoot weekend. It was super fun as our family likes bigfoot fun. We started out Friday night getting the offered $12 bbq plate that included pork burnt ends, beans and potato salad that were 'oh it's so good'," shares Paul B.

Consider themed weekend events: Special programs enhance family stays at several parks. "It is a wonderful place to have Kids. tons of things for them to do. we were in tent sites which felt bigger than most and were right by river. not far to go anywhere walking," Kelly J. mentions about visiting Gettysburg Campground.

Evaluate playground placement: The location of play areas within campgrounds impacts convenience. "In my opinion as a mom of small kids maybe the worst part was that there was only 1 playground, it was all the way at the front of the campground (we had to drive to it) and it was very junky and run down," cautions Chelsea about Drummer Boy Camping Resort.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: RV sites near Fayetteville, Pennsylvania often require leveling equipment. "The site was pretty level and an okay side. Our site was separated from our neighbors site with nice foliage," Laure D. states about Drummer Boy Camping Resort.

Utility placement considerations: The location of hookups can present challenges. "Septic dump was about 20 feet away and we had to use a extension to get to it," Jeremy K. reports about his experience at Round Top Campground.

Transport around large campgrounds: At extensive facilities, moving between areas requires planning. "For some places within the campground, it's hard to find regular car/truck parking," Sabrina H. notes about Drummer Boy, where many campers use golf carts to navigate the grounds.
