We camped outside of Gettysburg about three years ago, at Gettysburg Campground. Nice place. Lots of shade. Built in pool. We hired a state licensed tour guide from the visitors center to drive my jeep & take us around the battlefield. It was a great time & somebody else is driving. He asked what state we were from & then started the tour where the 4th Ohio was lined up on the first day. He took us through the battle, day-to-day. It was a very rewarding experience. The best tour that I've ever taken. Also be sure to visit "Sunset Ice Cream"" in Gettysburg. Some of the best homemade ice cream, bar none. The Ghost Walk is fun for youngsters. President Isenhour's farm is next door to the battlefield. Anyone been to the military museum across the street from the visitors center?

David, Did you stay AT Ft Wilkerson?? That's on our itinerary for next years camping! Two weeks in the UP, starting there, heading over to Marquette, Picture Rock and then down to Door County to stay at my sisters for a couple of days. Keep going back and forth between the camping there and at Lake Fannyhoo. SOOOOOO looking forward to it!!
And if you're willing to "pop" over to Wisconsin, I can't begin to tell you how nice the Apostle Islands are by Bayfield. A national park but Madeline Island is commercial so you can take a ferry with your camper over there and stay at Big Bay State Park. AWESOME!!

We really enjoy Harrisville State Park south of Alpenaand Lakeport State Park (North of Port Huron). Algonac is a nice close State Park right on the River; nice to watch freighters go by; usually an older crowd as there is no beach.

A couple years ago we spent 10 days in the UP, 3 nights at Indian Lake State Park, 3 nights at Straits SP, and 3 nights at Taquanamah (sp?) Falls SP. Was in mid June and the bugs were unbelievable. Now we only go north in the fall! All parks were great and we'll be back!

I have had excellent luck with Michigan state parks, both in the UP and the LP. They have been well maintained, clean, and comfortable camping experiences.

Copper Falls Wis State Park is getting close to our back yard. It's about 70 miles east and a little south of us. We had been to Copper Falls many years ago to look at the spring snow melt but have not camped there. It's one of those, "it's so close we will do it some other time" and then we never get there. We're hoping the Pod fixes some of those dilemmas. A retired friend from work who camps keeps telling us to line up a weekend next summer. They love Copper Falls, they've been there several times.

We did the Boston, Pa Freedom Trail many moons ago with our kids. The highlight was when we were at Gettysburg. You used to be able to hire a state licensed historian, that rode in your car, for about an hour or two, stopping at each of the battle fields. He recounted anecdotes of each of the battles and stories taken from the diaries of the combatants. Made the history come alive like nothing else. My wife is a retired 8th grade history teacher and we learned a great deal. Can't suggest that highly enough. Safe Travels. |

I'm about 1 hour from Gettysburg, and 40 minutes from Baltimore if you want to crash in my driveway for a night or two. 30 amp outlet and water from the driveway, sewer connection for dumping if you back it onto the side yard. |
