What Guests Are Saying

Gerald Freeman Campground is praised for its beautiful setting, cleanliness, and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a favorite among visitors who appreciate nature and peace. Many enjoy the well-maintained sites, easy access to water activities, and helpful staff. However, there are some concerns about high grass, inconsistent maintenance of facilities, lack of WiFi, and limited cell service, which some feel detracts from the overall experience.

We loved our stay! We're definitely coming back. The campground was clean and well maintained. The bathrooms were spotless and the showers were nice. Hot water!! It wasn't fully packed but it wasn't empty either and was pretty quiet. Everyone was friendly.

Love this campground - have been going there for over 20 years. Always clean and neat. Only thing that disappoints me is that in the fall and early spring, the whole campground is not open. We always enjoyed going there at these times because it was not very crowded and we could get the sites back away from people. I realize that it takes more work to keep all the sites open but we were ok with only one bathhouse being available. We would drive to it or walk. I wish you would reconsider closing sites in the off season.

The campsite was clean and freshly mowed. The evening male attendant at the check in booth was one of the most courteous people I have ever encountered!! I hope this will be acknowledged to him!! I do not recall his name, but I spoke with him over the phone as well as in person!

We really enjoyed our time at this beautiful campground. The little free library was a lifesaver as we’d not known we’d have no cell service. But this is more of an advantage these days so you can truly get away from everything.

The ditch lines were over flowing due the built up leaves and branches. Which did not leave good impression as you entered the campground.

I really enjoyed the fact that there was no wifi. Not being tied to electronics is what camping is all about. If you don't have wifi then you're not tempted to use it. There is plenty to do outside.
