Camp Misty Mount

We stayed here while we were visiting Gettysburg. The camp host was friendly and welcoming. We drove our car to cabin 31 to unload. There was firewood cut and wagons by the woodshed. The cabin was clean, the shower house/restrooms were clean. We would stay again if ever in the area.

We had a great visit. Will come again and hopefully we get better weather.

Camp Misty Mount is a wonderful experience. We try to visit at least twice a year and are always happy. The cabin are clean, the bathroom and pool area are wonderful, and the program director is always so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Our Girl Scout troop of 12 3rd and 4th graders had a great time in the Upper Loop at Camp Misty Mount. The sites were well-equipped and it was an easy walk to the bathrooms and water station. Firewood was plentiful and the cabins were dry despite rains the week before. Highly recommend!

We loved the cabin. We were two adults (grandparents) and our two grandchildren 5 years old and seven. We loved having our own bed in a cozy room. Our grandchildren loved cooking on a camping stove and roasting marshmallows. We spent two great days hiking and also going to the lake. A wonderful experience with some comfort for the first camping trip of our grandchildren.

We visited Camp Misty Mount on the recommendation of our 11 year old granddaughter and she was right. The historic cabins were clean and had plenty of room, with windows open and provided a great cross breeze. The rangers and camp host were very knowledgeable about the history of the park and the surrounding areas. My husband misplaced his wallet and the rangers went out of there way, in the rain to help us look for it. The complimentary firewood on check-in day, was an added bonus and there was more wood in the woodshed. The bathrooms were clean and heated. The loop we were on had a covered dishwashing station which is very helpful.

This review is based mostly on the cabin experience. The pool was already closed for the season. The park rangers were all fantastic.
I rented this cabin and the lodge next door to accommodate both my large family and my friend's large family. This 4-person cabin is well situated next to the handicap unloading area and definitely in a better position to load/unload than many of the cabins along the path. It's also private enough that if a little boy needs to run behind a tree, they can do so. The bathrooms are a hike for sure.
-My main problem with this cabin was the fact that it was missing a window. These are historic cabins, so I understand that some of the parts might need to be specially fabricated. In this case, just getting a sheet on thin plexiglass and cutting it to fit, then popping it in place would have been a decent workaround. The beginning of November was COLD. The cabins are "no heaters allowed" due to the risk of fire. If my brain had been working, i would have brought a heated blanket. If you are camping here at the beginning or end of the season, consider a heated blanket or hot water bottle and a hat.

This lodge is HUGE. I know it says it sleeps 6 and there aren't many good photos online. I was too busy doing mom stuff to get cabin interior photos. You could easily fit 2 queen air mattresses in this cabin. There is a little closet that you can turn into a dressing room if you get creative. Or put a toddler potty in there.
This lodge is a hike to the bathroom. While it is a handicap access cabin, there are no smooth walkways near this cabin. The closest one is past the wash station.
Definitely a perfect cabin for rainy day camping, since there are two covered porch options with lighting sufficient to play games or eat under the shelter.
The EXIT sign was very very bright. If you are able to point away from the sign, you have a better chance of sleeping.
This would have been amazing with a cozy fire "back in the day." The fireplace is simply beautiful.

Trails were beautifully maintained and clearly marked. Gift shop was a sweet bonus we were not expecting.

The cabin was clean; new bedframes made sleeping a bit more comfortable than in past years. Some of our enjoyment of Camp Mist Mount's serenity was spoiled by loud music emanating from campers in another section that blared nonstop on Friday evening until 11PM when the Rangers were finally called to the scene. This music began again on Saturday AM about 8 and continued unhindered until 8:30 PM. Complaints to the Rangers were met with "There's nothing we can do."
