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.

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.

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.

The campground was a typical ACOE campground in that the sites are among the best you'll find: level, well-equipped and maintained; and spacious. The bathroom and shower facilities were very clean, though there were a few improvements to be made. There weren't any benches and some of the showers were in disrepair (one didn't get hot and was spraying from a leak; and one needed hanging hooks); I improvised by taking a portable outdoor table to the shower.
The setting was absolutely gorgeous, situated along the river that feeds the lake. The sites around the entire campground were all desirable the different loops each had their own personalities. Trudi from the Camp Store was wonderful and added to our positive experience; very helpful and congenial!
Caution, however: there is absolutely no cell service in the campground or anywhere close to the campground. We drove 5 miles to get service to communicate with our family. Scope out your activities before you go, and locate the closest medical facilities, in the event of an emergency. Because of the lack of connectivity, I would have appreciated having more pamphlets / information about what else the area offers, including information about the hiking trails in the park. As a result, we stayed close to camp.
