Artillery Ridge Campground is located on Taneytown Rd. about 2 miles from the town of Gettysburg and 1.5 miles from the National Military Park Museum. Other points of interest from the campground are Little Round Top (1 mile), Cemetery Ridge (1 mile), Pickett’s Charge (3 miles), and the Eisenhower National Historic Site (3 miles). We stayed 6 nights (Sun to Sat) in our MB Sprinter Class B camper.... Artillery Ridge Campground is located on Taneytown Rd. about 2 miles from the town of Gettysburg and 1.5 miles from the National Military Park Museum.

We stayed 6 nights (Sun to Sat) in our MB Sprinter Class B camper. Reservations were made online, check-in was easy (our tag, etc. was available at the booth at the camp entrance) and the site was easy to find. The campground is clean, sites are reasonably priced and offer water, electrical and sewer connection. A dump station near the campground office is available if a sewer connection is not needed at the camp site. The bathrooms are clean and the showers offer plenty of hot water. Firewood is available at a vending machine for $9/bundle and is clean and dry. A pleasant surprise was the Chameleon 1360 Grill food-truck on Friday night. The burgers and fries were good and reasonably priced. Overall, highly recommended for RVers visiting Gettysburg.

I want to express my gratitude to Amanda for all her assistance with my reservation. I found Artillery campground in the Good Sam’s guide and made the reservation based on that, Amanda told me the this campground doesn’t participate in good Sams discounts, but that the sister campground Gettysburg campground does. She canceled my reservation with the artillery campground and rescheduled me to Get... I want to express my gratitude to Amanda for all her assistance with my reservation.

She canceled my reservation with the artillery campground and rescheduled me to Gettysburg campground so that I could receive the good Sam’s discount. She went above and beyond what I believe she should’ve done and I really appreciate it.

Artillery Ridge is one of our favorite places to stay in PA. The grounds are well maintained and the staff, particularly Tracy and Kathy in the front office, are top notch! Their welcoming personalities and attention to detail ensures guests have a memorable experience from check in to check out. 10 out of 10- Artillery Ridge is a highly recommended gem!

This is a great place to bring the rv. There is a fun mini golf and pool. Everyone is friendly and very nice. The pond is pretty and we saw people catching fish. Across the street is a path to the Gettysburg battle field. We enjoy staying here. We definitely recommend it to others
