The best camping near Freeman with fishing

·

Freeman draws anglers from all over for its freshwater streams and easy-access ponds. If fishing tops your list, you’ll find over 1,100 campsites in the area designed with that in mind. Bring your rod—options stretch from farm ponds to lazy riverbanks. Average rates hover around $30 a night, with budget-friendly spots dipping to $25. Top picks include Uncle B's Produce Farm (981 reviews), Requine and Relax, LLC (42 reviews), and The Retreat at Pointer’s Ridge (35 reviews). You won’t go without basics: toilets, showers, and pet-friendly policies are standard. When you’re not casting a line, try snow sports in the colder months or cool off with a swim. Local advice—pack layers, and don’t forget your tackle box.

The pond is at the back of the property where I have 6 dry camp sites listed as Uncle B's farm for tents or self contained RV's.

All of the campsites have a firepit, some with cooking grates and all sites have a picnic table. The "shower shack" is shared by all guests and has 2 separate 3/4 baths with all modern plumbing. There is also a basic outdoor kitchen with a few portable grills as well as a sink with modern plumbing. Available at Uncle B's RV Camper site I have 3 RV sites with water and 30 Amp electrical hookups. My "Ready Set Camp" listing is a dome tent set up and furnished with 4 cots, table, and lamp as well as a match ready fire.

There have been a lot of people who have come through this park in the 30+ years I have been apart of it. We would like you to be added! This park used to be a full service mobile home park. There are still some trailers that remain. Each site is big enough to accommodate a double wide mobile home so even the largest RV one can bring in has lots of space to spare.
