What Guests Are Saying
Gerald Freeman Campground is a beautiful and peaceful destination, well-loved for its family-friendly atmosphere, clean facilities, and scenic surroundings, including easy access to water for fishing and kayaking. Many campers appreciate the relaxed environment and friendly staff, making it a favorite spot for repeat visitors. However, there are some concerns about the maintenance of the grass and bathhouses, as well as the need for better Wi-Fi and more full hook-up sites.

The campground sites are large. We stayed in site 42 which was full hook ups. We loved the river and brought kayaks to use. We took walks and rode bikes. We visited the snack shack for ice cream a couple times. The local Walmart was only 20 minutes away to stock up on forgotten items. I enjoyed the Campground host as she was from Texas. We drove one day over to Holly River state park for a hike. The campground is well maintained and quiet especially at night. The local police make frequent rounds. There are playgrounds for the kids and my grand draughters enjoyed volleyball.

The campground was a huge disappointment. The traffic was a nightmare because all the traffic ran both ways on a one way road.

Wow!!! Wonderful campground! Paved full hookup sites and some waterfront access. Waterways have a variety of depths but there are a number of boat ramps. No cell service!!

Loved our first time staying, nice and quiet. River was up & running fast after rain, so we didn't utilize the water, but loved our spot.
Super level campsite!!!!!

This campground was ok. The sites are very close together and there is a lot of vehicle traffic. The playgrounds were very nice. The ladies working at the boat rental were wonderful. We did not like the street light right in front of our campsite- takes away from the atmosphere. Not sure I would want to camp here again.

We took our 5 grandchildren and was happy to see that the rangers had arranged activities for the campers. The campground was clean and the bath houses were also kept clean and well stocked. Wish the hiking trails were marked a little better. Love it here!
