Cast a line for a monster bass in Lake Lily, take a leisurely walk through the crisp autumn woods, or unwind by the campfire with a cozy blanket and s’mores in hand.

Heading south for the winter? ️ Snowbirds are invited to stop, stay, and stretch their legs before the long drive ahead — Granite Hill makes the perfect halfway retreat!

As a special thank-you, all military, fire, EMS, and police personnel who present their hero badge or ID upon arrival will receive a $50 credit toward store purchases or a future 2027 reservation (excludes the Red Shed Café). Advance reservations are required, so call soon to secure your site and make one last weekend of memories before the season ends!

Please also note that when temperatures drop below freezing, we will need to disconnect water hoses and temporarily shut down the water system to prevent pipes from freezing. The bathhouses and water system will be fully shut down as required by the weather, but don’t worry, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable during your stay! Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.


VETERAN’S DAY WEEKEND

November 13 – 15, 2026

This weekend, we proudly salute and honor our nation’s veterans — the brave men and women whose service and sacrifice protect our freedom every day. Your courage and dedication mean the world to us, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

To learn more about local Veterans Day events and ceremonies in the Gettysburg area, be sure to visit Destination Gettysburg for all the details.

As part of our tribute, Granite Hill is once again supporting the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. We invite all guests to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate — and as a small thank-you, you’ll receive a free round of Adventure Golf! It’s a fun and meaningful way to give back while spending time with family. ⛳

Please note: when temperatures drop below freezing, we’ll need to disconnect water hoses and temporarily shut down portions of the water system to protect the pipes. Bathhouses and water access will be adjusted as needed based on the weather, but we’ll do everything we can to keep you comfortable during your stay.

Thank you for your understanding — and most importantly, thank you to our veterans for your service and sacrifice. ❤️
