Winter is upon us here at Gettysburg Battlefield Resorts in South Central Pennsylvania!
Every cold and dark phase ends and hence begins a beautiful phase of warmth and vibrance. Don’t believe? Just notice March.
~ Anamika Mishra
Here in Gettysburg, we couldn’t describe March any better than that. Outside the wind is blowing and although we have been teased with a couple days of Spring-kissed weather, it is decidedly chilly. Luckily, the Lodge is warm and cozy, the fireplace is ablaze and the aroma of hot coffee from the store like a winter perfume.
The expression March “comes in like a lion and out like a lamb,” is certainly true for weather and particularly in Southcentral PA. However, when it comes to preparation around the resort, March comes in like a lamb and out like a lion. March is our final month before many of you will be coming to your home away from home, and we are busy making sure the resort is ready to go! Landscaping is busy starting the plants that will dress up the resort in a beautiful array of scents and colors.
The store is brimming with new inventory and have been made for the Easter Bunny, and eggs are waiting to be filled with candy. Housekeeping has stocked supplies in preparation for a busy season and Maintenance is fixing the last items on their winter punch list. The new and improved sunroom is near completion with a new camp-themed play zone for kids, and comfortable eating for family members of all ages. New paint, lighting and décor gives the whole sunroom an updated, sleek but stylish but still family-friendly appeal or as Jaron, our manager describes it “having that Chip and Johanna vibe.”
In Activities, entertainment is booked, food trucks have been scheduled and new activities on the resort will debut this year. Eggs for children are waiting to be filled with candy; eggs for the adult egg hunt – well that is another thing all together! New bags have been ordered for our weekly cornhole tournament, and new basketballs, gaga balls and volleyballs are on their way. We will also be announcing a special way to honor a family member (2 or 4-legged) and help GBR go green for Earth Day. The GBR Amazing Race, at the end of April, is going to be so much fun, and for families not participating in the Race, there will be a special event just for the kids!
April just can’t come fast enough!
Winter is upon us here at Gettysburg Battlefield Resorts in South Central Pennsylvania!

I see the colours everywhere as I drive around this beautiful place, we call Rocky Fork Ranch.
Goodbye to December and we are giving our thanks to all the members that were with us during the BIG thanksgiving feast.
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.
