Well, we have been loyally going to Granite Hill for 3 years on Memorial Day Weekend. I'm sorry to say we will no longer be back because the campground consistently overbooks and bathroom plumbing problems overshadow what otherwise would be an enjoyable camping experience. A group of us camp in the tent section. Only two in our group have pop-ups the rest are tenters (for now). The activities are great for the kids. The evening we arrive they have a reenactor come and tell ghost stories and tour around the campground. One evening they offer a karoakee/dance party. The pool is adequate but when the campground is over-booked the pool quickly becomes too small.
Gettysburg is wonderful place to visit especially on Memorial day weekend. What better way to honor our soldiers. The kids enjoy learning about our past history and watching the reenactments around the park. We love to have have lunch at Spanglers Spring and watch the Confederate soldires fire their muskets. If your up for a hike Big Round Top is a manageable hike with the kids with monuments and a view when you reach the top. The town is quaint filled with great restaurants and shops. The nearby Adamstown Winery is worth a visit. I'm happy to say my son is very much interested in the Civil War and I owe his interest to our camping trips to Gettysburg.
Next Memorial Day Weekend we are thinking about Williamsburg, VA. but I have no doubt we will visit Gettysburg again in the future.
Happy Camping,
The Stefanelli Family
