Granite Hill Camping Resort provides glamping options with amenities including hot showers, clean facilities, and proximity to attractions like Gettysburg battlefield sites. Twin Bridge Campground features elevated glamping experiences along a scenic creek, offering a perfect blend of comfort and natural beauty. Both locations maintain full electrical hookups for climate-controlled glamping units, while providing picnic tables and fire rings at each site. "The staff was extremely nice.

The surrounding countryside creates an ideal backdrop for glamping experiences with convenient access to historic attractions. Guests at these glamping resorts can explore nearby Gettysburg National Military Park, just minutes from their luxury accommodations. Twin Bridge Campground offers creek-side relaxation with fishing opportunities directly from glamping sites.

On-site camp stores provide essential supplies and snacks, while some locations offer additional amenities like mini-golf courses and swimming areas. Most glamping accommodations remain available from April through October, with some sites requiring advance reservations during peak summer months.

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.
LegendWe spent a long weekend for walks in the woods, seeing the fall colors, and all around a huge lake.
What We Liked:
- Even though the sites are sloped, they’re huge. I like that a lot.
- This property is enormous. They have a marina on the lake, a wedding facility, conference center, lots of cabins which look pretty good, and tent sites in addition to the RV sites. Go say hi to the goats behind the store. The property is amazing!
- If you’re interested, it’s a 90-minute drive to the Flight 93 Memorial— well worth the trip!
Things to Keep in Mind:
- The roads getting there are like a roller coaster. This isn’t the resort’s fault, but something you need to know if you’re going there.
- The sites are sloped. Took several blocks to get even close to level. I may be spoiled, but I really appreciate a level site.
- No sewer connection. There’s a dump station available, but just know the sites are water and electric only.
Would We Return?
- Probably not. It’s not fun driving in that area and there’s nothing much to do in the area.
GuideWe booked two nights mid October not realizing that it's duck hunting season and that hunting is allowed RIGHT by the campground - with kids everywhere. We were jolted out of sleep at 5 am by gun fire right near our site. It kept up for the next hour. In addition, the bathrooms, although clean are in poor condition. Peeling paint everywhere with bare concrete in the showers. For such a pretty site, we had a miserable stay. We left after one night.
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.
ScoutThe campground is a nice size with enough space between sites to feel as though you have some privacy.
We reserved site 4 online but someone had set up there when we arrived. Site 6 was open and it had a better view anyway and was farther away from the toilets, so we didn’t mind.
The boat launch is right there which we planned to paddle board in the morning, but got rained out. The river looks really nice and clean though.
Tables and fire pits are a great size. We saw some gorgeous stars as there isn’t any light pollution.
It’s only half hour from Berkeley Springs, so fill up your spring water for free there and then come enjoy the campsite!
Will definitely return.
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.
Glamping opportunities near Quincy, Pennsylvania showcase the diverse camping options available within the Michaux State Forest area. This mountainous region sits at approximately 830 feet elevation with a mix of deciduous forest and agricultural land. The climate features warm summers and cold winters, making late spring through early fall the primary glamping season with temperatures ranging from 70-85°F during peak months.
Creek exploration: The Conococheague Creek offers accessible water activities at Twin Bridge Campground. "Our favorite campground. The most relaxing setting. Our kids love the creek and playing in and around it," notes one visitor. The creek allows for wading, fishing, and small watercraft during summer months.
Battlefield tours: Visit Antietam National Battlefield, just 30 minutes from luxury glamping sites. The Hagerstown / Antietam Battlefield KOA provides convenient access. "This is a small but quaint KOA. Set right next to the river and you fish if you want to. DO NOT follow your GPS. Follow the directions on the KOA Website," advises a camper.
Waterfall hiking: Explore Cunningham Falls State Park's cascades via moderate trails. "The trail is an easy six mile loop to and from the falls," explains a visitor to Houck - Cunningham Falls State Park. The falls trail remains accessible year-round but is best hiked weekdays to avoid crowds.
Convenience to historical attractions: Most glamping sites near Quincy provide easy access to Civil War landmarks. "If you are looking for a campground that is very close to an historical National Park not to mention shopping and restaurants, this is for you," states a camper at Gettysburg Campground.
Kid-friendly activities: Family glamping experiences include structured programming. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport MD, "We had a blast and will be returning next season. Multiple pools and a great little water park. Store was well stocked, they also had a ice-cream / quick food store attached to the pool area and staff super friendly."
Natural water features: Lakes and streams enhance glamping experiences. "Gorgeous area but not a lot around there," explains a camper about Manor - Cunningham Falls State Park. This park offers glamping options near a 43-acre lake with swimming beach and fishing opportunities from April through October.
Site spacing varies significantly: Some glamping locations offer more privacy than others. One camper at Artillery Ridge Campground notes, "The grounds are nice and shaded, and you don't feel crowded. The only issue is there is a lot of construction at the moment."
Reservation requirements: Peak season (May-September) requires advance booking, especially for premium glamping sites. Most locations allow reservations 6-12 months ahead, with cancellation policies typically requiring 7-14 days notice for refunds.
Weather considerations: The region experiences temperature fluctuations even during summer. "We stayed in October so there was plenty of activities for kids from crafts, games, dancing, to trick or treating," mentions a visitor at Gettysburg Battlefield Resorts, highlighting that off-season glamping still offers structured activities.
Look for campgrounds with organized activities: Some properties offer extensive programming. "Jellystone was amazing in every way possible. The kids were never bored and had so much fun. Us, as adults, were also never bored," shares a visitor about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park.
Choose creek-adjacent sites for natural entertainment: Water access provides hours of entertainment. "We had Site C, which was right on the stream. This was a very nice site and we had more space between us than others had," explains a Twin Bridge Campground visitor about their glamping experience.
Consider bathroom proximity: When glamping with children, bathroom location matters. At Cunningham Falls State Park, a camper advises: "The only downside is that the bathhouse is a walk downhill and then a walk back uphill. Surprised there's no place for someone to park next to the bathhouse - only trails to it."
Delivery services enhance glamping comfort: Some campgrounds offer convenient site delivery. A Twin Bridge visitor explains, "The concierge service here is unreal! You can get just about anything from the store delivered to your site. The firewood is plentiful and affordable, the honey wagon makes the E/W sites no problem!"
Utilities and hookups may need extensions: Check power and water setup before arrival. At Granite Hill Camping Resort, one RVer notes, "The hookups are oddly spaced and you need to ensure you have extentions handy. My electric hookup didn't work on 30A."
Site leveling challenges exist: Some glamping locations require preparation. "We were in spots 86,85,89 for a month long stay... which they do during the winter," shares an Artillery Ridge Campground visitor, highlighting the availability of extended-stay glamping options during off-peak seasons.
