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.

Very nice campground, there were ticks everywhere. Even in the cut grass areas, had to pick them off dogs every walk.

The only thing I had an issue with was the bath houses were not kept very clean. Otherwise everything was great!

This is a great campground, lot’s of space between sites. The only bad thing is the 10 miles of nasty winding mountain road to get there.

This place was fantastic!! Super friendly staff. Easy in and out of site. Met some great campers. Didn’t try the food and ice cream at the Snack Shack but did purchase some firewood and staff there was super nice and helpful. Can’t wait to camp here again. Site #62 was a extremely nice site. Bathhouse right across from us.

Great place to camp. Only real issue is other campers making a mess of the restrooms and really just not cleaning up after themselves. The Corps employees were courteous and helpful.
