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.

I've always loved this campground because of the beautiful setting and the very helpful personnel. However, the lack of telephone service this year became problematic. I had forgotten this drawback until I was nearly at the campsite, and had neglected telling family and friends where I'd be for a couple of days. That caused a bit of angst.
Idea, is this feasible: Rent space through a local phone tower and add a $5 phone access fee to all two or more-day camper stays to help cover your cost?

The grass wasn't cut till the day before we left. They never did empty the trash containers. We like it there but these two things made the stay this year not as good as last year.

We were there from 5-13 thru 5-21. Grass at site had not been mowed. Came on Monday 5-20 and mowed. Dumpsters were over flowing. Brought 2 other couples with their own campers. So 3 sites....high grass everywhere. Real concern about ticks....came last year also for 8 nights....same thing....high grass and overflowing dumpsters. Please start mowing the campground sooner than the week before Memorial Day.

The website made it look like these 2 sites were riverfront; however, when we arrived to the campsites neither one was riverfront sites. We were really disappointed because we had kayaks that we wanted to put in at the campsites as well as sites we wanted to be able to fish from at any given time. I will further research campsites next year if we decide to come back. Overall camp was clean but the bathrooms were nasty and our sites had not been mowed in awhile so grass was tall.
