Camped in site next to River with full hook ups. Site was paved and relatively flat. Sites are large. Bring kayak’s for the River. There is a beach on the lake about 11 miles from Freeman. No or limited cell phone service. I have AT&T. Lots of area to walk. Walked dogs everyday.

I think if you would get some kind of musical entertainment to come into the large shelter would help bring in more campers. Need more to do other than boating & fishing. Very quiet, clean, nice campground.

Not the best experience I’ve had here. Bathhouses were never cleaned. Love the campground been coming for over 25 years but thinking of looking elsewhere.

Well the camp ground was as usual enjoyable. However for some REASON that no one seems to know,they have changed the site numbers, as a result the sites i have reserved for the rest of this year are not the ones i usually reserve. i reserve early in order to get specific sites for shade and bath house location, now i am on a site that has no shade and further from bath house for my next three outings!

Great place to camp! Wish there were more full hookups along the river. Clean bathhouses! Cell signal is patchy, though.
