Camping at Gettysburg PA

[Josann]

We are camping at Gettysburg later this month, staying at Roundtop Campground. Anybody been there before? Any suggestions (beside the obvious Civil War sites) on activities? My sons going are 18, 16, and 15. Any input would be appreciated.

Up Rt30 towards Chambersburg is Mr. Eds Elephant Museum and Candy shop.  Fun place.

If you like antiques, in the same direction is Fayetteville with a huge antique mall.

Downtown Gettysburg is a fun place to walk around.

There is an outlet mall that is pretty nice.

If you are camping with a young lady, she might dig the Land of Little Horses.  THe boys might be less then enthralled. There used to be a game park in that same area, but I'm not sure now.

Don't know if it coincides with when you'll be in the area but the Gettysburg bluegrass festival runs from the 23rd through the 26th.  It's held at Granite Hill Campground (where we'll be for the week.)
