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 site was beautiful. However, we never saw any hosts the entire stay. We stopped numerous times at the entrance and host sites. Nothing. We had no cell service and with no host we couldn't get contact if there was an emergency. Very disappointing and didn't feel safe

The campground had bees all over the grassy area. The restrooms smell very unclean. especially the woman's. The water that was coming out of the hoses (and in to our trailer) at our site was very brown.. and the pressure was poor. I understand that there is a major drought but if you are not able to provide pure clean water ...shut the campground down. Now, I need to purify my water system in our trailer. and the filter will need changed. Even though there is a drought the grassy are behind our trail could have been mowed to lower the bee population. Our dog and one of us got bit..NO FUN! I think it would also have been polite to let us know that all of the water was gone from the water way in front of the campers. Very disappointing. a heads up email would have worked.. All in all these things make it hard to want to come back.

There is no Internet or cell phone signal, although it seemed we had it last year when we were there. This is something we need for work and so we left a day early. No one in the check-in booth to help us cancel the second day and no way on the website to cancel If you are at the campground and leaving early.

We really enjoy the camp ground, the price , places on the water..we stay in full hookup
Always a nice stay. But there need to be trash dumpsters closer to the camp sites. The dog on leash need to be invoiced more…people think their dogs won’t hurt anyone but if you don’t have a dog or care for dogs or afraid of them it doesn’t matter how friendly they think their dog is. Thank you

The campground was very nice. Our site was large and there was a good amount of space between sites. There wasn’t any cell service even with our booster. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Plenty of room in the camping areas. The rv area was a little crowded but not too bad..
