Camp Misty Mount

I understand this is a historical site, but it could use some updating. Our cabin was full of holes and mice got in and into our food. The lower women’s bathroom had moldy vinyl curtains and only one stall worked. It was clean otherwise. You are also not allowed to have a canopy over your picnic table, so keep that in mind. The staff was pleasant but we will not be returning.

I am a 41 year old woman who camps every year with my girlfriends and all of our kids. I recently had a baby and we thought cabins might be a little easier this year, rather than tents. We were so disappointed. Youre not allowed to have hammocks, clothes lines or canopies. The park rangers and workamper were not friendly at all, in informing us of the rules. Someone, we guess, had previously moved some rocks from the middle of a path and so it appeared to us to look like a rough road path. The workamper was so nasty and even threatened our children with calling "law enforcement" if they didnt take her immediately to their guardians (we were unloading in the cabin next door). Some people had dogs, which wasn't allowed, and youre not allowed food by the pool, which is kind of silly. Just lots of rules and staff that are not clear or personable in explaining them. A positive was that the cabins had ceiling fans and firewood was plentiful.

Wonderful family experience. We will be returning. The pool and facilities were always very clean. We stayed in cabin # 49. The only negative was our fire ring was very close to our neighbors fire ring.

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.
