I should add that there are several campgrounds right around Gettysburg (Codours is about 30 minutes away), but the two I've seen aren't as nice as Codorus. The one at the intersection of routes 116 and 15 lets you hear all the traffic on 15 all night. We were last there in a popup and I didn't get a good night's sleep, I'm sure it would be much better in the 'pod.

One of our favorite places to go in October, partially because our girls cheerlead in the area so it allows us to get some camping in, plus they have a huge Halloween bash at the end of the month. The C and D loops become Trick-or-Treat central. We got involved last year and will be back again this year - look for the R-Pod disguised as a huge Jack-O-Lantern (Podkin?). I got a huge orange tarp and added a face with purple duct tape, the curved front of the 'pod was begging for it.
A quiet place to camp. It has lake access for boating, several hiking trails, and a few cabins/yurts for those without campers. There is an outdoor amphitheater but I haven't seen it used much. Looking at this map: http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/codorus/codorus_camp_pdf.pdf
Entering loop C from the bottom of the map, the loop is a counter-clockwise one-way. You enter the woods before sites 144 and 81 so they are all in full shade, going all the way around until you exit the woods around site 124. From there the sites on the inside of the loop (125 to 138) are on the edge of the woods so they have partial shade, the ones on the outside (126, 132 to 137) are in full sun. I'm not sure about 139. You are definitely back in the woods by site 140 at the end of the one-way.
All of loops A and B are in the woods, and all of loop D is out in the open. D is where all of the50 amp big-rig sites are located. I've never been down the road to the tent sites or the boat launch so I don't know what they are like. I guess I need to get down there on my next trip!

Rpodcamper, what can you tell us about Codorus SP? We just made reservations for Labor Day WE. We've never been to Gettysburg, so figured it would be good place to stay. We're on the C loop - supposed to be shady. Any pictures? Thanks W&C

Well just starting to make my plans for the warmer weather. Have just booked Easter Weekend (April 22-24) at Codorus State Park. Anyone else looking to go to nice State Park here is a place. They have a huge lake so I will have the Kayaks with me.
