Check out the General Pickett's Buffet on Steinwher Ave., just up the street from the National Cemetery. It was a hang-out for the cast and crew of the Gettysburg and Killer Angels, the movies. The entry hall is covered with photos from the films and cast, while the dining room is decorated with scores of artworks of the campaign and its participants. Oh yeah, the food is pretty good, too!
๐ There are bus slots where you can park your rig, and even more parking space behind a closed restaurant next door.
If you have not seen it in the last few years, don't miss the Cyclorama at the Visitors' Center. The eight-year restoration of this 360 degree painting and its new sound and light display are breathtaking.
We have stayed at a number of area campgrounds over the last three plus decades, but our regular is the Gettysburg Campground on Route 116, Fairfield Road, west of town. Nice folks and a well-kept, wooded campground with Marsh Creek bending around it. The creek-side sites are especially nice. A certified RV technician, JR of JR's RV Service has his shop there. Unlike a lot of RV dealers and shops, he's very competent and knowledgeable. In the past few years JR has done several jobs I could not, or did not want to tackle, while we camped, some right at our campsite. One caveat: he does not do the automotive/chassis work, but he'll service anything built and installed by the coach-maker.
