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.

Was not happy that the grass was so high. Arrived on Friday and the grass didn’t get mowed until near the end of the next week. And water pressure was very low in our camper. Could barely rinse off after a shower.

It is a lovely campground, but the last two years the grass has not been cut when we went, which is several times a year. This year was the worst it was over a foot tall in many places on our spot. We will be doing the rest of our camping at a different campground this year. Hope next year will be better.

Campground is very nice. There is plenty of fishing etc to do. When choosing you spot choose wisely. Map may say riverfront and its actually a just a view. If your tent camping find shade as there is no relief from the sun.

Gerald Freeman Campground is a GREAT place to get away if you are looking to disconnect. There is NO SERVICE of any kind up here! We have a powerful WeBoost on our RV and STILL no bars. There are a few places you can move around to and maybe get 1 bar, but they are hard to find. Starlink works great though, and once established you can use WiFi calling for your phone. The scenery is beautiful here, and you almost have to look straight up to see the sky because you are surrounded by mountains. The lake/creek/river (I'm not sure which it is because it says lake, but it has a slight current) runs directly by the campsites and there is easy access for fishing, kayaking, and other aquatic activities. The campground itself is SUPER clean, and so are the shower houses. The sites are level and well maintained. Some sites have full hookups (W/S/E), while others have W/E, electric only, and primitive. Make sure you know what you are booking so you don't get surprised. Some of the nicest sites are electric only. There is a little store on the property for a few essentials, but it is small with limited selection. Our water pressure at our site was very low, only around 20 lbs, so we had to rely on our pump and tank, but we could at least fill it so it was a non-issue for us. We are a full-time RV family, traveling the country with our three dogs, and we will be staying here again in the future. It's a safe, clean campground with everything that you need and a GREAT family atmosphere!

This is a very basic campground. There are no hosted programming/events/activities for guests that we are aware of. There are multiple large playgrounds at this campground. Bath houses are very basic.
The camp sites are mowed, the bath houses are cleaned - at least daily and there’s no debris - except in the area around the trash dumpsters.
