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.

We ended up leaving a day early. It was a pretty park but the grass had not been cut for awhile, it was incredible dark at night with no street lights which was made even worse due to the mountains and being cloudy. We were concerned with walking our dogs at night especially since there was animal scat throughout the park. Cell service was nonexistent. We couldn’t even make calls if there was an emergency. Also, there was no camp staff that we ever saw.

The ride up and back the 8.5 mile narrow road with tight turns, no shoulder was an intense drive. The campground has a few different sections. Some are electric only, one section is primitive and one have full hook ups. The sites have room between them. Some sites are close to a river that was very low when we were there so no boating from the launches. There are 2 play grounds. One is quite large. There is no WIFI or TV reception unless you have a Sat. We enjoyed many walks and enjoyed the fall season.

The only thing I did not like is having to make a reservation. Always before we could drive up and pick a spot. Why do we have to have reservations, never had had to before?

We would not recommend this CG fo any rigs larger than 25 feet. Road into is windy, and narrow. 13 miles off the interstate, busy local road above CG, which makes it noisey during day. Many power pedestals or the sewer hookups are broken/damaged. Easy to see up all sites were level. Many of them are nice and deep. Real smoky from the numerious campfires being burned. Bathrooms are just ok.

One of the prettiest campgrounds we have stayed at. The attendants are so nice and helpful. Bathrooms always clean.
One negative was only Black Bear bathrooms were open. Will be back.

What a lovely campground! This was our first time staying in West Virginia and we had a great stay. The campsites are very spacious. We stayed at site 43 and had full hookups. We had a nice picnic table and a great fire pit that had a grill grate. The campground was nice and quiet as well. No cell service once you get about 10ish miles outside the campground. Closest grocery store that had more than just dry good staples seemed to be Walmart (which was about a 20-30 minute drive) and the closest place that had firewood available was Ace Hardware, which was also about 20-30 minute drive away. Our GPS had trouble getting us there, but just follow the signs and the directions on the website. That's much easier than what we had to do, which was turn around at Bee Run because our GPS was all out of sorts.
