Charcoal Hearth Campground

Camped here for four nights. We had an electric only site. The campground is very quiet, except for Friday night when the dog people showed up. Otherwise, beautiful sites and super quiet. Bathrooms were very clean and the host was very friendly (:

We had a great time camping here May 30th to June 1st. Since we arrived on Thursday there were very few people there, we had the whole end of our Loop to ourselves. Totally private , peaceful , and dark at night . It did fill up on Friday . We were in site 19, which was a great site for a tent. Lots of room, and for me the greatest part was the tent pad since I have never had a tent pad before, it was great to have a flat level surface for the tent! If you have a reservation you don't need to check in anywhere before setting up, the camp host Joyce came around to meet us and she was very friendly. Three people right off the bat told us that there had been a bear in our campsite and at the playground earlier that day, and he had been going through the trash dumpsters while we were there. H

Narrow roads in and out of the campground. The sites are gravel, reasonably level, and private. I had virtually no Verizon cell service. Nonetheless, I think it's a terrific campground. It's about 35 minutes from Gettysburg, and that made it worth the trip alone. The general store has GREAT burgers and it's fun to see the AT hikers on their way through. I ate a gallon of ice cream in their honor, albeit over a five day period and not in one sitting. I never visited the two lakes, but my neighbors raved about both. The campground host is very nice and very helpful. Firewood is $5. One last note: The Thirsty Farmer Brew Works is worth the 25 minute drive from the campground (if you are a beer nerd).

Beautiful wooded sites that are spaced apart. Great trail right next to campsites. Only had electric hookups, but could fill water tank & use their dump station at end of visit...no big deal. Very relaxing!

Very nice clean campground. We camped in November so most of the facilities were closed for the winter. Had a lovely stay, will come back when it is warmer.
