Overall the experience was pretty good. The only concern I have is that the dumpsters being used this year are smaller than last year and become full and overflowing before being emptied.

Nice campground with lots of room for kids to play, ride bikes, play in the river... they sleep well after playing outside all day.

Beautiful spot. Bathhouse needs work but overall spectacular. The two trails were nice too.

We had a very nice stay at Gerald Freeman campground. Sites were plenty big (length and width) being the end of April there were only 7 of us. Right on one of the lakes "fingers". We did have a slight problem with the electric service (50amp), but we were able to use the 30amp until it was fixed the next morning. Closest bathrooms (by the playground) were still closed. The ones at the far end in the loop were open. This was a low-key stay for us as we were continuing on to Ohio to meet friends. Will come back in the future to discover the area

Beautiful campground! No cell service but we were fine with that. My only negative complaint I have is with the camp host or lack of staff! It is self check in which we did. Two days in a row we stopped at the guard shack to try to pay and stopped by the camp host site, NO ONE! Then a park ranger came to our camper saying the camp host has been unable to contact for payment. We met the park ranger who was very nice at the guard shack and paid. Very poor service!

COE properties are always very clean and well maintained. Gerald R Freeman is no exception. Multiple large new playgrounds and lots of space. Make sure you know what services are in your space. They have quite a variety. Great campground!!

The campground is very nice and well kept. The camp sites are paved which is great and they’re nice and roomy. The bathhouse is heated and showers have hot water. It was a quiet stay and we definitely be returning! Only downside is there’s no cell service. And the contact phone no one ever picked up the couple times I tried calling about questions.
