What Guests Are Saying

Gerald Freeman Campground is praised for its beautiful setting, cleanliness, and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a favorite among visitors who appreciate nature and peace. Many enjoy the well-maintained sites, easy access to water activities, and helpful staff. However, there are some concerns about high grass, inconsistent maintenance of facilities, lack of WiFi, and limited cell service, which some feel detracts from the overall experience.

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!

The hosts were super nice and welcoming. The campground was very quiet and well-maintained. The bathhouse was immaculate. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great place. Good people.
Change contractors for mowing the grass. When people bring their own push mowers cuz grass is too high on a constant basis——the state should b ashamed.

14 miles of narrow, winding , hilly SR 15 could be a challenge for inexperienced RV drivers. Inside park roads are fine. Sites are level and roomy. The construction is finished. Verizon signal varies from 0 to 1 bar. Shopping is 30 minutes away. Quiet. During our late October's stay it was only 10% full. We would return.
