Established RV parks near Orrstown provide a variety of amenities for travelers. Twin Bridge Campground offers electric hookups, water access, and sanitary dump stations on moderately sized sites accommodating both small and mid-sized rigs. Gettysburg Campground, located within 30 miles, features full hookup sites with 50-amp service and water connections on level pads suitable for larger motorhomes. Western Village RV Park in Carlisle maintains year-round operations with big-rig friendly pull-through sites equipped with 50-amp electrical hookups, water, and sewer connections. Many RV sites throughout the region include fire rings and picnic tables, though spacing between sites varies significantly. "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."
Full hookup availability differs significantly between campgrounds in the region. While premium sites often include cable TV connections, basic electric-only sites are common at state parks like Little Buffalo State Park. Most private RV parks offer dump stations, though location and accessibility can be challenging at some facilities. Cell service ranges from excellent at Gettysburg area campgrounds to spotty coverage in more rural locations. Several campgrounds impose site restrictions, with one reviewer noting: "Some sites do have a lake view and possible access, it was hard to tell. The non-electric sites had a parking pad and then for many you walked into the woods to the tent and fire pit area." Pet policies vary widely, with some parks welcoming pets throughout while others designate specific pet-friendly loops or sections. Pull-through sites typically fill first during peak summer and fall seasons, with partial hookup sites generally more abundant than full-service options.
Best RV Campgrounds near Orrstown (127)
1. Drummer Boy Camping Resort
"There seem to be a lot of seasonal campers but everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. We had a pull-through site with W/S/E, which made dumping, etc much easier that pulling to a dump site."
"It’s a nice campground with a lot of amenities for all. Everyone whom I had contact with that had season sites were very friendly and provided some good info."
2. Round Top Campground
"Off-season so not crowded. Pool was clean and quite good sized, had it to ourselves due to season. Did laundry while here, ample laundry room."
"We were looking for a semi-local final fall get-a-way near us. What better location for that than Gettysburg."

GuideArtillery Ridge Campground
Great 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.

Enormous property, but...
We 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.

We 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.

Artillery Ridge Campground
Got us out of a jam.
Where 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.

Hurricane camping
You 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.

Hosack Run
Quiet & Dog friendly - 20minutes from Gettysburg Battfields
This pet friendly campground in Caledonia State Park is .8 miles from the larger Chinquapin campground (no pets), ranger station and swimming pool. Our site #171 was level, paved, full hook ups and next to modern clean bathrooms with flush toilets, warm showers and outside dish washing sinks. Many available sites with and without services on a Sunday in October. There were a good number of friendly, tidy, long term campers with large wall tents. (They allow 21 day stays after Labor Day)

Gambrill State Park Campground
Great Camp Spot
This is a great camping spot. The sites aren’t too close together and the hosts are very friendly. The only reason I gave it four stars is because we are near a highway so you can hear cars throughout the night. But the crickets make up for it by being as loud as possible. With the fees, it cost $25 for a non-electric site and with access to showers after a long trek I was happy to pay.

First time I ever left a campsite early , complete waste of money
Trip -week before labor day , temps 93 degrees, nothing on website when booked said about peak and non peak days on booking page. Said there were only 7 sites left(complete lie) campground was empty. First time we ever been to a place where EVERYTHING was closed. Campstore, jump pillow and the final straw was we went to go to the pool and that was closed. It was 545 pm sun still bright in the sky , nowhere near dusk( when its suppose to close) . So much conflicting info from what the paper we got handed vs what internet site said. Charged a resort fee ? for what a place to park? This is no resort. Grass was high enough to be seeding itself. My wife was so upset she was actually crying. This was supposed to be a fun trip for our da6ughter before going back to school. We decided this place over Buttonwood just because it was alittle closer. Did a full tour of the place. Realized there is nothing here. Went to dinner in town. Decided we didnt want to stay where we knew our Daughter would be bored. She's pretty easy to entertain but this was just ridiculous. 12 HOURS OF MY LIFE AND $400 BUCKS i will never get back. (Loading , driving , realizing we got screwed, driving, unloading) yup was pretty bad.
Guide to Orrstown
Most RV campgrounds near Orrstown, Pennsylvania sit within the Cumberland Valley region at elevations between 600-700 feet. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 80-85°F and winters commonly dropping below freezing. Fall camping is particularly popular due to moderate temperatures and colorful foliage in the surrounding mountains.
What to do
Creek exploration: Relax by flowing water at Twin Bridge Campground where families can wade and play. "Our kids love the creek and playing in and around it. Some activities, playground, mini golf etc. but more of a relaxing campground."
Historical immersion: Visit Gettysburg within 30 minutes of camping. Staying at Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm provides convenient battlefield access. "It's literally like a mile from downtown Gettysburg, which also has a lot of different things to do. Overall I would def recommend this campground to someone and I would also go back myself."
Farm animal encounters: Engage with livestock at select campgrounds. Children particularly enjoy the morning feeding routines. "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."
What campers like
Spacious creekside sites: Look for waterfront camping spots. At Twin Bridge Campground, certain sites offer premium water access. "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."
Recreational variety: Pools, mini-golf, and scheduled activities. Drummer Boy Camping Resort receives positive feedback for its diverse amenities. "The pool with the slide was very clean. We would definitely go back to this place again despite the couple of cons. We have possibly considered becoming 'seasonals' ourselves at this place."
Family-friendly environments: Many campgrounds cater to children. Guests appreciate the organized activities and opportunities for social interaction. "Staff is great, amenities are great, awesome time in great scenery. I love it and we visit a couple of times a year with our kids and family."
What you should know
Site selection matters: Quality varies significantly within campgrounds. At Round Top Campground, location impacts overall experience. "While the site was shaded, it was also on a significant hill and had NO view of anything but other seasonal campers."
Seasonal population: Many campgrounds have permanent residents. This can affect the atmosphere and available sites. "There are many seasonals in the campground with 'stuff' spread out everywhere around their campsites. We were in a transient section in the back of the park with long pull-thrus."
Service reliability fluctuations: Prepare for occasional utility issues. Some sites report inconsistent electrical service. "Electric went out 3 times, once for over 24 hrs. It was in the high 90°."
Tips for camping with families
Prioritize animal interaction: Farm campgrounds create lasting memories. Raystown Lake / Saxton KOA at Four Seasons delivers excellent themed weekends. "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'."
Book holiday weekends early: Popular times fill quickly. Many families plan their stays months in advance, particularly for summer holidays. "We camped here in May for Memorial Day weekend. We usually avoid holidays but gave this campground a try. It was pretty full and everyone seemed to have a golf cart."
Consider activity schedules: Programming varies by season. Weekend activities are typically more robust than weekday options. "Quiet during the week, weekends quite busy."
Tips from RVers
Site positioning challenges: Hookup locations can be problematic. At Gettysburg Campground, RVers need to plan their setup carefully. "The amenities of Gettysburg Campground are quite good: full hookups with cable, all working as expected. Level sites, friendly and efficient staff, decently sized sites long enough for my 32' coach and a toad."
Leveling requirements: Terrain varies across rv campgrounds in Orrstown, Pennsylvania region. Many sites require additional blocking or careful positioning. "Site 22 is a deluxe patio back in site with a patio, 4 nice Adirondack chairs, a double glider, a weber propane grill and built in fire pit AND a dog fence just for that site. The site wasn't hard to level our RV but overall the sites are hilly and in fact the whole park is on a hill."
Sewer connection placement: Design impacts drainage effectiveness. Some RV parks have elevated connections that complicate waste management. "The biggest complaint about our site was that the sewer hookup was inconveniently placed about six inches above the ground which meant that it would not drain properly."
