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 However, there are some downsides, including limited cell service, outdated bathhouses, and occasional maintenance issues like long grass and trash overflow during peak times.

The website made it look like these 2 sites were riverfront; however, when we arrived to the campsites neither one was riverfront sites. We were really disappointed because we had kayaks that we wanted to put in at the campsites as well as sites we wanted to be able to fish from at any given time. I will further research campsites next year if we decide to come back. Overall camp was clean but the bathrooms were nasty and our sites had not been mowed in awhile so grass was tall.

The grass wasn't cut till the day before we left. They never did empty the trash containers. We like it there but these two things made the stay this year not as good as last year.

We were there from 5-13 thru 5-21. Grass at site had not been mowed. Came on Monday 5-20 and mowed. Dumpsters were over flowing. Brought 2 other couples with their own campers. So 3 sites....high grass everywhere. Real concern about ticks....came last year also for 8 nights....same thing....high grass and overflowing dumpsters. Please start mowing the campground sooner than the week before Memorial Day.
