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 However, there are some downsides, including limited cell service, outdated bathhouses, and occasional maintenance issues like long grass and trash overflow during peak times.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 grounds could have used some attention.
The grounds needs refreshed They just look tired and used (visit with fresh set of eyes)
State park grounds much better maintained
The contractor, I assume, came thru park but did not pick up trash that was hanging etc

The playground had several cans/bottles wrappers the kids had thrown down. I cleaned everything up only to go back next day with more liter Not sure how you combat this but get message out to parents

Road bad in two places.

4th of July weekend and no activities

The campground was very nice. Our site was large and there was a good amount of space between sites. There wasn’t any cell service even with our booster. The staff was helpful and friendly.

We really enjoy the camp ground, the price , places on the water..we stay in full hookup
Always a nice stay. But there need to be trash dumpsters closer to the camp sites. The dog on leash need to be invoiced more…people think their dogs won’t hurt anyone but if you don’t have a dog or care for dogs or afraid of them it doesn’t matter how friendly they think their dog is. Thank you

There is no Internet or cell phone signal, although it seemed we had it last year when we were there. This is something we need for work and so we left a day early. No one in the check-in booth to help us cancel the second day and no way on the website to cancel If you are at the campground and leaving early.
