Gerald Freeman Campground

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.

HAD A GREAT TTIME !!

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.

Awesome hospitality and great facilities. Sites in Black Bear Loop were great!

it rained hard the night and morning befor we checked in so the water was muddy.
but the nice creek was clear and the kids played in it.
also we went a few miles down the road to the lake area and swam - the kids enjoyed it.
it was well taked care of.
thank you care takers !!

Nice campground around the lake.
Watch out for goose poop! It's everywhere.
Quiet. Friendly, helpful staff at the office.

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!

Beautiful and clean! Loved it here
