What Guests Are Saying
Gerald Freeman Campground is a beautiful and peaceful destination, well-loved for its family-friendly atmosphere, clean facilities, and scenic surroundings, including easy access to water for fishing and kayaking. Many campers appreciate the relaxed environment and friendly staff, making it a favorite spot for repeat visitors. However, there are some concerns about the maintenance of the grass and bathhouses, as well as the need for better Wi-Fi and more full hook-up sites.

August was our first time at GF. The park is beautiful. We tied out our Kayaks to the edge of our site (down the bank), and had them out everyday! We will definitely be back! It would be great if the leash rule was enforced. The entire week we had neighbors that let their dogs run loose.

Beautiful campground. We always stay in the black bear loop on the river side. Sites are spacious with plenty of room to stake out our two dogs in the front yard. Normally the site is full hookups but we were without electric when we arrived but came back on early next morning. We were without water for about 24 hours. Whe water came back on was brown. I would recommend bringing a full tank of fresh water just in case. Stayed 5 days and did enjoy otherwise.

Great place. Go every year and meet our family for the week. Usually about 8-10 campers and we take up most of a section in the Campground. Be nice to have more water pressure coming from the nozzle. Beautiful place.
