This is an ideal lodging option for Rail Trail users who need overnight accommodations in New Freedom, PA! Our ground-level units are easily accessible for people with bikes. With overnight accommodations in Southern York County being limited (Hampton Inn, Jackson House B&B, and Glen Rock Mill Inn), our motel is now a viable fourth overnight option serving guests in this area! 

We are located only a 5-minute walk from downtown New Freedom where you can find a number of restaurants, Northern Central Railway, and several things to do. Summit Grove is located just one mile from the Mason Dixon Line, which is where the Heritage Rail Trail in York PA (beginning 20 miles north of us) connects to the Torrey C Brown Rail Trail in Baltimore County, MD (beginning 21 miles south of us).

Tabernacle

The Tabernacle is our largest building at Summit Grove and is located directly in the center of the camp. It is host to many unique events throughout the year. Equipped with a large stage, professional lighting, and (optional) professional sound, the “Tab” is the perfect place for anything from a ballet recital to a church service.

At full capacity, the Tabernacle can hold up to 1,200 people on bench seating, with lots of grassy areas surrounding the venue where additional lawn chairs and blanket seating can be added. There is plenty of parking off the road around the circle drive.

Access to a professional sound system, a tech team member and/or a small portable sound system are available. Please inquire for pricing.

The Tabernacle is ideal for outdoor events that you may want to hold rain or shine! Even if it is raining, the stage, audience, and equipment can stay dry. Additionally, the Lodge, Motel, Snack Shack, Dining Hall, Bathhouse, and Day Camp Pavilion are all located just a few steps from the venue.

The Barn

The Barn is a free-standing building that can hold approximately 200-guests auditorium style, or 75-guests at round tables. This room has a stage, sound system and projector.

The Barn also has ping pong, pool, air hockey and board games. If a group is not renting this exclusively, it is available to be used as a leisurely place to hang out.

The closest bathrooms are our bathhouses, which are only open mid-April through mid-October.
