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 However, there are some downsides, including limited cell service, outdated bathhouses, and occasional maintenance issues like long grass and trash overflow during peak times.

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.

Beautiful area, but with mountains no cell coverage in camp. We had to drive up to the High Knob Church to check phone messages or texts.
Trees could be trimmed better on the road towards the dump station that is toward west loops. Lots of pot holes on those roads to that are in need of repair.
Fun to watch the deer and fawns around the park.
Being Midwestern's the curvy roads and hills into the park can be a little overwhelming with narrow roads and having a big Class A.

Some type of cell or WiFi coverage would be good.
A county store with friendly clerks.
More all service sites.

We have always loved Gerald R. Freeman Campground. We used to go there when it was known as Kanawha Run. We take our six grandchildren with us & they always have a blast. They always meet new friends & build lasting relationships. The playgrounds are great & the campground is a safe place to take your children. Quiet time is quiet time. The campground is clean. The staff is always friendly & helpful. The shower houses could possible use a few improvements. There is just not enough space to put your personal things while showering. Maybe adding a long bench, a long shelve, & hooks along the wall by the showers would be helpful. We have been going there for over 40 years & will continue to go.
