Drummer Boy Camping Resort

Last updated on March 8th, 2024

Drummer Boy Camping Resort, located in Gettysburg, PA, is the perfect family-friendly campground with all the amenities camping enthusiasts need.

Since our last time camping ended up being a little too rustic for my liking, my husband was very agreeable to finding a campground with lots of stuff to do. 

On a Sunday back in the Spring, he and I took a drive to five different campgrounds around the Frederick, MD area. 

Two of them were up in Harpers Ferry, WV and three of them were in Gettysburg, PA (yep – it was a long day). 

We wanted that “perfect” campground.

Although each of the campgrounds had it’s own charm, we both agreed that Drummer Boy Camping Resort was what we had been looking for! 

My criteria, that I absolutely wanted to have during our camping weekend, was: 

• Golf Cart Rentals
• Swimming Pool
• Wooded Campsite
• Planned Campground Activities

Drummer Boy totally satisfied all of that and more!

Our Camping Experience At Drummer Boy

From Frederick, it took us about 35 minutes to get to Drummer Boy – just far enough away to feel like you were on vacation, but close enough that you don’t have to cut into your vacation time just for the travel. 

We reserved a spot for the camper that was perfect for us – wooded and right beside the fishing pond! 

Our friends reserved the spot right next to us, and then Pam and her family reserved a spot for their pop-up a few sites down from us!

We enjoyed:

• Friends who came up and visited throughout the weekend
• Lots of campfires
• Grilling some great food
• Listening to music
• Fishing
• Swimming
• Bicycling
• Golf Carting
• Ice cream at the snack bar
• Creating family memories!

I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking, but both Pam and I give Drummer Boy Camping Resort our seal of approval! 

I have a strong feeling that we’ll be back :).
