Help addressing Gettysburg

[PeteJack]

in late May / early June I plan on riding from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, probably using Route S which I believe goes fairly near to Gettysburg. I very much want to visit the battlefield but from what I can make out Gettysburg itself is a spendy tourist trap so I would appreciate advice on accommodation, motels etc. or campsites that won't break the bank. I'm riding down the Atlantic Coast route to Philly so it will be difficult to make bookings ahead of time. Thanks in anticipation.

I've been to Gettysburg a couple of times. Both times the weather was rainy (the first time it really poured) so I passed on the KOA and got a motel a block from the visitor center. As I recall it cost me $60, a bit pricey, and was perfectly comfortable.

I'd love to go back when the sun is shining.
