What Guests Are Saying

Gerald Freeman Campground offers a beautiful, family-friendly environment with spacious, clean campsites, many located right by the river, ideal for activities like kayaking and fishing. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the campground is well-maintained, providing a peaceful retreat away from urban noise. However, there are some downsides, including limited cell service, outdated bathhouses, and occasional maintenance issues like long grass and trash overflow during peak times.

Campground was very clean and grass was mowed. We did have a bad storm with electric going out for almost 24 hours but hey, we are camping ❣️

Be advised: neighbors in a large group partied all night long - drinking alcohol, blasting music, using profane language, and jumping into the lake until 6:00 am. Think twice if you want an enjoyable and quiet camping experience - especially as this campground is advertised as a “family campground”. Never in my life have I ever witnessed such blatant disrespect for everyone else in the campground, and on top of that, did not see the host once. Since nobody reprimanded the folks that were partying, I’m sure they’ll be back… but we most definitely will never return.

I've always loved this campground because of the beautiful setting and the very helpful personnel. However, the lack of telephone service this year became problematic. I had forgotten this drawback until I was nearly at the campsite, and had neglected telling family and friends where I'd be for a couple of days. That caused a bit of angst.
Idea, is this feasible: Rent space through a local phone tower and add a $5 phone access fee to all two or more-day camper stays to help cover your cost?

The grass wasn't cut till the day before we left. They never did empty the trash containers. We like it there but these two things made the stay this year not as good as last year.

We were there from 5-13 thru 5-21. Grass at site had not been mowed. Came on Monday 5-20 and mowed. Dumpsters were over flowing. Brought 2 other couples with their own campers. So 3 sites....high grass everywhere. Real concern about ticks....came last year also for 8 nights....same thing....high grass and overflowing dumpsters. Please start mowing the campground sooner than the week before Memorial Day.
