This property existed as a farm prior to the Civil War. The house building is stone and the old horse barns are a little worn. Clean, friendly and very secure site. The stone building has an old school bell on top and may have been a school at one time. Otherwise the history has been lost ... The property has nice open and shaded places to wander. Access to small pond and creek. There are fossils in the limestone by the pond. Feel free to collect!

Site 1 - Private Farm Near Gettysburg

Always a lovely time.

We have stayed here many times and we always enjoy it! Quiet and secluded, but close to things and convenient. It’s just perfect. We do miss when the horses used to come around to the fence, but it appears they are growing that out as pasture land (Presumably to feed the horses)

Site 2. under and around tree

Rustic, rural, relaxing

This is a very nice, well maintained space. One I’d return to if my travels found me back in Gettysburg. The photos helped figure out where to go since there’s no directional signage. Once there, I felt very safe and appreciate the host providing an option for a last-minute booking.

No Surprises

Everything was as described. Great location. Neighbors had some animals... an emu, turkeys, horses, a dog. All made animal noises but didn't really bother us. Property is across from a little bridge over a creek where our dog enjoyed playing in the water. She enjoyed being off leash the whole weekend. We stayed on site 3 in a pop-upcamper. I'd definitely go back. Fyi, bring tick spray. We were there in the middle of tick season and they were a nuisance, but that is nature! Site is conveniently near town so we could make trips for ice, propane, and other supplies.

Site 3 - Private Farm Near Gettysburg

Wonderful host and a quiet location

When we arrived around mid afternoon James apologized for the fact that the grass hadn't been cut in the area where we'd be setting up camp. Because of campers earlier in the week and some rain he just couldn't get to do the mowing. So, he asked us to park our motorhome out of the way and he immediately took to clearing the area. He also moved us to another site so we could have access to the electrical hookup. That was an unexpected bonus. The location is only 12 minutes to the Gettysburg National Military Park. It is a quiet, level location with horses and an alpaca on the property next to his. James is a wonderful host and we'd be sure to stay here if we're back in the area.

Site 3 - Private Farm Near Gettysburg

Never was in contact with James, and never figured out where any of the sites were, but we camped under a tree by a picnic table with an extension cord (that gave us great elctricity,) and kinda close to a cone (which is no longer orange.) The gras was mowed, but not super short and so soft - we were barefoot all the time. And to James, if you read this - the well has orange sediment (rust?) in it. It does settle out if you let it sit for a couple hours, but its not very appealing. All in all, it was convenient, quiet, except the noises of the animals around, which we found delightful, comfortable, and we'll be back if we are back in the area.
