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.

Pleasantly surprised by the changes and upgrades since coming here since many years ago. Love that there are more full hook up sites available. Campground was neat and clean and we enjoyed our stay. Would love to see the option of wifi being available.

We have been coming to Gerald Freeman for 13 years. We usually come 2 to 3 times a year. The bathrooms were the worst we have ever seen. Flooded…..tampons in the showers……cigarette butts in the showers…..one of the toilets were totally covered in fecal matter. As I understand that this is not the parks fault…….it was that way for 3 days. The camp hosts were hardly ever on duty. One day we went up to the gate 4 times trying to get information. They are rude and not very nice. They kept leaving notes on our door stating that we could only have 2 cars on our lot. Most parks let you pay for a 3rd vehicle but they would not. We have always had 3 cars because we have a camper and kayaks and then my son comes in from the military and stays with us for a couple of days. This has never been an issue until this year. We will not recommend this park to anyone else until things get back to the way they were before.

The overall campground upkeep is horribly lacking. Overflowing dumpsters, way overgrown grass, hosts are unaware of their own campground (ie- made us stop to fill up at the water fi ll. We told them our site has water and they guaranteed us it does not, we pulled in after filling up and there was the water hookup)

Host was also rather rude, tracked down my mother in law and insisted she pay a guest pass when she was staying with us in our site.

Electric kept shorting out. Just overall the maintenance and upkeep of the park is greatly going downhill.

This is a beautiful place to stay, the host this year is exceptionally helpful. The hiking trails are nice but bring lots of bug repellent. We have been coming here for over 25 years and have never been disappointed. We bring our grandkids every year, it is very family oriented with 2 large playgrounds, volleyball, cornhole, horseshoe pits (bring your own ball, bags, horseshoes). There is also a nice snack shack where you can rent this equipment and get some good treats.

Beautiful camping grounds, although grass was extremely high and my children kept getting stung by bees. Garbage dumps were running over and were very stinky.

The camp ground was very nice. I did enjoy it. There were dogs not on leaches and came at you barking and the trash was so piled up and smelled bad…the site next to us had about 4 families at it. 1 camper and 3 tents..there was a park security drive thru but didn’t say a word to them..the camper host was not very friendly. I will go to this camp ground again though. Our spot was on the water and that was nice.

Nice secluded campground down in a valley. I didn’t end up staying more than a night because I work remotely and there is zero service within a good 5 miles of campground. Would come back though

Loved this place. Getting to our location was a bit scary but once we cleared the trees and hills we were able to get in our site without any issues. We just didn’t enjoy having our back end to the neighbors eating area when we arrived because we felt the noise was disturbing to them. The best part was all the wonderful people and the boat rental in the park and shop right outside of it. On the way out we had a tree with its new soft branches that we had to pass. We didn’t break any tree limbs or scratched our RV but we had to take it very slow. I think this may become a problem as the tree matures.
