GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD RESORT
The perfect combination of history and beauty
A stay at Gettysburg Battlefield Resort is much more than memories of the 1863 battle. Once situated on the beautiful grounds of the resort, you’re just minutes away from downtown historic Gettysburg. Also nearby are Dutch and Amish country attractions and “The Sweetest Place on Earth,” Hershey Park. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a long hike or short jaunt on the Appalachian Trail, just 79 miles away. The resort is perfect for exploring, or just sitting and relaxing. As a member-based campground, neighbors become friends and friends become family. There’s always something to do and learn. Adjacent to the historic Gettysburg National Military Park, where one of the most significant battles of the Civil War was fought, you’re able to walk on the Battlefield grounds. But it’s not all about battles and history. Make your own memories at the many amenities onsite. Exercise in the Olympic-size swimming pool. The little ones will enjoy the playgrounds. There are ball fields and courts. Take advantage
of shopping at the general store to stock up on forgotten items, or enjoy an ice cream with Hershey’s hand-dipped ice cream. Learn new games in the game room and catch and release fish at the stocked pond. There’s time to meet new and old friends at the regularly themed activities through the week. The options are endless. For a relaxing time you can enjoy kayaking on the pond, or try your hand at horseshoes or shuffleboard. If you have traveled without your rig or have friends joining you, rent one of the modern cabins. Whether you want to explore or just sit and relax and be one with nature, Gettysburg Battlefield Resort is unmatched in its possibilities. Gettysburg National Military Park is also a home or stopover point for several federal and state- listed endangered, threatened, or candidate species. Threatened bird species such as ospreys and federally endangered bald eagles have been observed soaring in the skies over the battlefields.
