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 However, there are some downsides, including limited cell service, outdated bathhouses, and occasional maintenance issues like long grass and trash overflow during peak times.

Great campground with a lot of sites. Awesome piece of water next to it. Highway 15 is a has a lot of curves which makes it for a long trip into the campground for big rigs.

We have camped there several times in the past 2 years. They have very clean camp sites and they have recently updated the bath houses which are 100x better. We will always go to that camp ground for an instatecation.

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.
