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.

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.

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!

I did not even camp this week I tried multiple times to cancel my reservation and the web site would not let me then I called and after 1 hr and 10min. Finally talked to a person who said they couldn’t do anything to help. First time I have ever had this issue. And I even was a volunteer camp host last year. NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

Good family campground. Clean and grass was mowed. Nice place to walk our dogs. Love to kayak the river. Nice people. Only problem is no internet or cell phone service.

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.
