Camp Thompson

Address: 800 Pine Grove Rd, Gardners, PA 17324, USA

“My 11y old went for first time & really liked it. Her bff did not, but camps not for everyone. Almost all of their cabin left before/after patches so they couldnt do skit they'd practiced so we ended up leaving before campfire. I wonder if they shift a half hour earlier if more kids would stay longer that friday nite? One other minus - there was a sand volleyball court but no ball all week! The Carlisle YMCA couldnt manage extra volleyballs?!? That didnt make any sense.”

“Loved my stay here while hiking the Appalachian trail. A real piece of history, they have an underground railroad (or Haven) for runaway slaves used during the American Civil War. It's a lovely peaceful place, with a massive porch for relaxing and drinking coffee in the early Misty morning hours as the dawn is breaking.”

Charcoal Hearth Campground

Address: 101, Bendersville Rd, Gardners, PA 17324, USA

“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).”

Primitive Campsite #4

Address: Gardners, PA 17324, USA

“Plenty of wide open space up at the top of the mountain. It's a very short walk from the pull-off from the gravel road, but it's far enough that you definitely can't see the road from the site.”
