Renting an RV in Gettysburg: what to know before pickup
Gettysburg has its own arrival logistics. Drummer Boy Camping Resort handles both the first night and the dump station. One street-parking ordinance applies to RVs here — cited in full in the arrival guide.
Street parking reality
Vehicles over 21 ft restricted from town historic district on-street parking; commercial vehicles restricted overnight
Gettysburg Code Article XV
Dump stations & water
- Drummer Boy Camping Resort — $10, potable water
Camp the first night
- Drummer Boy Camping Resort · 2 mi out · Full hookups on 400 sites
Skip the classic mistake
Showing up to Gettysburg Reenactment weekend without a 6-month reservation
Best window: April through May and September through October — pre/post Anniversary peak with…
The Gettysburg window to avoid
January through February — Susquehanna ice events and reduced state-park status.
What that mistake costs
Campgrounds within 60 mi of Gettysburg book up well ahead
Day one, after you pick the rig up
- Top off propane at U-Haul of Gettysburg, 1700 Old Harrisburg Rd, Gettysburg, PA 17325, on arrival day if tanks read below 30%.
- Drive direct to Drummer Boy Camping Resort — Gettysburg Code Article XV restricts overnight on-street parking in residential zones.
- Verify scenic-drive open status on Lincoln Highway (US-30) east-west (some seasonal closures).
