The Bergerons have been hosting camping families at the Gettysburg/Battlefield KOA since 1991. Before that, Emile Bergeron had been a financial manager for an automobile company in New Hampshire, and wife Linda had been a mail carrier.

Their son, John, and his wife Lorelle are also part of the Gettysburg/Battlefield KOA family. But the real boss is John and Lorelle's daughter, Simone. If you stay at this KOA long enough, you're sure to see her in her bright yellow KOA shirt.

The Bergerons have taken their diamond-in-the-rough campground and turned it into one of the gems in the KOA Kampgrounds system. They were recognized in 2003 as the Franchisee of the Year among more than 480 KOA Kampgrounds in North America.

Emile, Linda, John, Lorelle and Simone all have their camper's interests at heart. That's why you'll see John busy flipping pancakes for your breakfast Saturday and Sunday morning. And if you don't feel like cooking dinner, just stop at the store, place an order and have your meal delivered right to your to your campsite.

Now that's service!

Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center Gettysburg has always been a "must see" for every American. With the opening of the new Museum and Visitor Center at Gettysburg National Military Park on April 14, 2008, it became a "must do" for those who have visited before as well as those who have yet to come. The 139,000-square-foot Museum and Visitor Center blends the familiar with exciting new programs, exhibits and experiences. Throughout the 11 exhibit galleries, visitors still will encounter some of the popular items from the collection (weaponry and uniforms, for example) along with a great deal more. State-of-the-art galleries will use a greater variety of objects and artifacts from Gettysburg National Military Park’s extensive collection (and from other museums and private collections from around the country) to offer perspective, and a greater appreciation for the sacrifices of those who became a part of the greatest battle ever fought in North America. It is also the home of The Gettysburg Cyclorama painting. Cyclorama, Film and Museum Experience: The film narrated by Morgan Freeman A New Birth of Freedom will orient your group to the Battle of Gettysburg and the American Civil War. After the film, ascend the escalator to see the massive Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama painting — the largest painting in the country. This original 1884 work of art is larger than a football field and combines with an overhead canopy and three-dimensional diorama to create a Victorian illusion. Be surrounded by the action of Pickett’s Charge on the third day of the battle. And don’t miss the Gettysburg Museum of the American Civil War, where the story of the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War is told through 12 galleries, including artifacts, interactive exhibits and additional films. Allow one to two hours for the Cyclorama, Film and Museum Experience. Walk-Up Price Adult (ages 19+): $10.50 Seniors (65+) and Military Personnel: $9.50 AAA Discount: $9.50 Youth (ages 6-18): $6.50 Children (ages 5 and under): FREE More information is available by visiting Gettysburg National Park online.
