June 4, 2022
Even though the camping season has come and gone we are still busy here at the resort. Learn more about the resort in the February Newsletter!
The warmth of summer is upon us, as we welcome the sunshine here at Gettysburg Battlefield Resorts. Guests have been rolling in, and the campground has become full of life again. As your new resort manager, it has been a blast getting to meet all the members for the first time!
Our team has been working extremely hard to get the entire resort ready for the summer kick-off. The GBR Arcade has undergone some extremely exciting renovations, the grounds team is working away at planting flowers, the maintenance team is constantly working to make improvements, and of course, the famous GBR Pool is open for our guests to enjoy this summer! I’m very excited to share this summer season with you all and cannot wait to see all your smiling faces here on the resort!

There is no doubt about it – Gettysburg Battlefield
Resort is absolutely radiant in June. Irises in full bloom wave a warm welcome to all entering our front gate. Throughout the park, pansies and marigolds turn their cheery faces to the sun. Down by the pond, one can almost taste the honeysuckle in the air as the fountain dances in the gentle breezes of summer. Finally, it is summer, and what a summer we are planning here at Gettysburg Battlefield Resort!
We are starting off with Prom Weekend! This year our theme is “We Go Together!” Think famous couples like Bonnie and Clyde, Johnny and June or dress as things that go together, like peanut butter and jelly. For inspiration, curl up with some hot cocoa and popcorn and watch the movie “Never Been Kissed.” Don’t forget to vote for our Prom King and Queen!! June 10th-12th is our Hawaiian Luau Weekend! We are so excited to bring a Hawaiian show to you Saturday night, with authentic hula dancers and a fire show! We are celebrating dads June 17th-19th, with our Annual Dad and Me Fishing Tournament, a cornhole tournament and a GBR favorite band, LODI! Finally, it’s the Crazy 80s! Dig out your legwarmers, bomber jackets and fingerless gloves! We are having a DJ and light show, as well as a photo booth with props! Members will be able to get unlimited prints of their pictures at the dance! We are happy to report our campground concierge service is up and running and has been a great benefit to members! We were able to make dinner reservations for a family at the Dobbin House for Mother’s Day, found the perfect scary-but-not-so-scary ghost tour for a family with small children, helped a son find the perfect gift for his mom at one of our local shops in Gettysburg and arranged an outing for another family at the Catoctin Wildlife Reserve! Come see us in the sunroom from 12-4 pm, Thursdays through Saturdays. If you need recommendations for dinner, or something to do with the kids, or want to sign-up for a ghost tour or would like us to help celebrate a special occasion, please let us know! If you need help with CampersApp, we are here to help!

As the weather gets a little colder each night, we all snuggle one step closer to the campfire. The leaves have almost finished falling and everything looks beautiful. What a perfect season we have here in Georgia.

Steve Baldelli
Steve Baldelli started Travel Resorts in 1986 at the age of 27 after a call from his friend Jim who had found some beautiful property in Pinehurst, North Carolina after a round of golf. Steve flew down from Minnesota to come to see the land and when he got there, there were 12 unfinished RV sites, a lodge, and a hole in the ground that was supposed to be a pool. He fell in love. Steve and his partner had no idea how to run a campground, but he knew he wanted to focus on three things: Taking people out of their normal element, making it close enough to home but far enough away to be a get-away, and making it affordable so all families could enjoy the campgrounds together multiple times a year.
35 years later, Steve has built Travel Resorts into 11 premier RV campgrounds from Florida to New York and now just recently has started venturing into the Midwest!
As a father of 3, an avid wine connoisseur, foodie, and lover of travel, Steve lives a busy adventurous life, but his heart is in providing the best camping memories to his members. You can find him at any of the resorts throughout the year, interacting with members, planting fun ideas in the activities directors’ heads, and always thinking about how to enhance our members’ experience. Because of Steve and his vision, Travel Resorts really is the definition of the Pursuit of Happiness.
