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.

I’ve camped at Gerald Freeman my entire life since a teenager, I’m 66 now. It’s my favorite place to go on vacation and enjoy the outdoors. Several years ago the Army Corps of Engineers changed their policy and has closed off 3/4 of the campsites during spring and fall seasons. As a hunter and fisherman enthusiast, the best favorable campsites are closed off for campers who like lesser crowds and quieter atmosphere. I wish they would reopen the entire campground like it was in the past so we can enjoy the beauty of West Virginia and my favorite place to spend vacation.

The Holly River was very low due to drought, but the grandkids had fun anyway !

We chose a waterfront site so that we could try out a new kayak. There was no water, a 95% dry stream bed. Not the campground's fault, but disappointing anyway. What was the campground's fault was not enforcing the quiet time. There was lots of noise until well after midnight. Other than that, it was a beautiful place. There was one more thing, no laundry facility open.

Very beautiful setting. Wish we could have stayed longer. Was told by other campers that the lake adjacent to campground is a great experience. Lots of wildlife to watch from your camping site.

Overall a great experience. Even though most of the slots were filled out was still quite quiet. The rest rooms could be a bit cleaner, but they were not terrible.
