Not sure about campgrounds but you must visit "The Angle" where the
tide of the civil war was turned.  GB is a national park so if you
have a park pass that covers em all you can use it there.  Take the
drive through the park.  Sunset at the angle, if you're really quiet
you can hear the battle.  Walk for a few moments in the National
Cemetary and see the diorama at the park HQ.  Tell the Park
Superintendent how much you like their work, quick before they're
gone.

The park details are here:  www.nps.gov/GETT

The battle details are here:  http://www.brotherswar.com/Gettysburg-3d.htm

Hallowed ground, walk slowly.

Pensionerd.
