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.
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.
TravelerThere was no hot water in the showers. There are no dog poo stations. There is a dumpster marked “STAFF ONLY”. It’s nice they have a place to stuff the staff!
ScoutThis campground is nothing as stated in the reviews. And now I know why. The one review on here besides mine is from the owner. The bathrooms are not clean. I was told for Labor Day weekend I could stay for two nights had reserved and all. They then abruptly cancelled my reservation and took three days to respond and say I could have a different cabin and tent sight but would need to stay three nights because of the holiday. They also charged a cleaning for a service pet which is not legal. We then showed up and were the only people staying that weren’t seasonal site people and very not welcomed. The first comment made was here come the weekend warriors. We look at the cabin which was ironically filthy and covered in mouse poop yet we got charged a cleaning fee. The grass was not mowed the porter potty’s so gross bugs are crawling in the bottom. The camp store was closed during the car show they had and when we asked when it will be open they stated it will not. It was 1 pm on a Saturday. The reservation process was unorganized. The playground was not mowed or weed whacked and a slide is ratchet strapped together. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
TravelerOMG! Next to busy interstate, railroad tracks and shooting range. Way to much for me!
TravelerVery clean campgrounds with nice trails along the lake and the creek that feeds it! Plenty of space near swimming area and even a geocache to find!
ScoutHorrible stay brown water Dep had them on boil water went down hill the past 4 yrs

This region experiences distinct seasons with warm summers averaging 85°F and winter temperatures often dropping below freezing between November and March.

Tubing on the Juniata River: At Buttonwood Campground, river activities provide a refreshing summer experience. "Tubing down the river is so fun and the highlight of a stay here. Campground does have a wristband system for most activities and amenites, with the exception of pool and playgrounds," notes one visitor. The river access makes this location popular during summer months.
Fishing at multiple locations: The region offers several fishing spots with varying catch potential. "The lake is awesome to relax on, fishing, boating, swimming in the pool, tons of hiking trails, lots of history, never fails to be a great time," mentions a camper from Little Buffalo State Park. Both lakes and streams are accessible for different fishing experiences.
Disc golf courses: Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground features two 18-hole disc golf courses in different settings. "Both areas have their own 18 hole disc golf course, but I will say: BEWARE of poison ivy!! We played the first 10 holes around the Conewago day use area and I was shocked at how much poison ivy we had to dodge all over the prime walking areas through the course," warns one reviewer. The Conewago course is relatively flat while the Quaker Race course is hillier and more wooded.
Wine offerings on-site: Buttonwood Campground features unique beverage options uncommon at typical campgrounds. "There is on site wine and wine slushies to purchase from a local vineyard," one camper mentions. Another adds, "my wife's favorite part was the wine bar on site with local made wine and wine slushees!" This adult amenity complements the family-focused activities.

Varied water recreation: Beyond swimming pools, several campgrounds offer multiple water features. "The pool here is top notch and it's good for fishing but the hiking isn't super great," shares one Little Buffalo visitor. At Paradise Stream, "My kids enjoyed the beautiful Mini golf course, splashing in the creek, the pool and the pedal carts."
Train noise disruptions: At some locations, nearby train tracks can impact the camping experience. "Nice camp ground but super loud bc of the trains. Bath houses are nice and clean. I would suggest making sure you aren't close to the tracks bc the trains run all night long!" warns a visitor to Hersheypark Camping Resort.
