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.

Gerald Freeman is our favorite place to camp! The bath houses are cleaned daily! The camp host are friendly. My kids love that they can ride around on their bikes, play in the river, play on the playground, and volleyball! There is no cell service with I love however, the kids miss it. But, I'm definitely not complaining!!!

There were several things that we really liked about GFC! The sites were generally spacious, the rain we got drained pretty well so it wasn’t incredibly muddy and we were able to park our boat right at our site. We had ice cream from the snack shack and it was tasty! They seemed to have plenty of handy camping supplies.

A few things that were “meh”.. we had another camper offer us their firewood when they left, they said “make sure you get it quick because if someone from the store sees it first they’ll take it and resell it”.. now, that just seems wrong to me.. (this was confirmed with other campers who visited there often)..
I attempted to wash a load of towels from our boat and though the washer was fine, the dryer didn’t work well at all, it heated but didn’t dry the towels even after multiple cycles.
the bath houses were cleaned (with water hoses and buckets of bleach) daily but consistently had standing water in the floors throughout but especially the showers. They didn’t drain well..

We will likely return, but I wouldn’t say its a new favorite of ours.

There is a serious electrical problem on black bear loop. After a heavy rain I was shocked coming out of the camper three times. We had to move our camp site. The neighbors beside us had their camper cord end melted. Another person had his surge protector melted.

The campground was amazing! Check-in was a breeze and allowed us to check in early since our site was vacant (we drove from 5 hours away so this was nice we didn’t have to wait for hours) we tent camped at a primitive site (site 101 on the water) and it was clean with a nice picnic table and fire pit. Employees/volunteers were super helpful when we asked question. We stayed the weekend and the bathrooms I believe were cleaned daily (super clean nonetheless!) the lake/creek was awesome to kayak on and was great for fishing (although I didn’t catch anything others did!) overall the place is awesome and definitely going to go back next year!

I did not even camp this week I tried multiple times to cancel my reservation and the web site would not let me then I called and after 1 hr and 10min. Finally talked to a person who said they couldn’t do anything to help. First time I have ever had this issue. And I even was a volunteer camp host last year. NOT HAPPY AT ALL.
