What campers say

Gerald Freeman Campground sits on waterfront with scenic mountain views and offers electric hookups, basic bathhouses with showers, playgrounds, and easy water access for fishing and boating. Many visitors praise the peaceful setting, dog‑friendly trails, and reasonable rates, while others note campsites can be close together and waterfront areas get crowded during fishing tournaments. Expect little to no cell service (some users report Starlink works) and be mindful of check‑in/check‑out times and occasional maintenance timing. Rangers and staff receive generally positive marks. If you want a disconnecting lakeside stay with some amenities, this campground is worth considering.
