Gun Creek and South Markumn are our favorite stop over spots while traveling on highway 57. Lots of sites on Rend Lake and plenty of space between sites.

A beautiful site. But while it is level side to side, it has quite a slope. 4 inches on the back still requires you to drop the nose all the way down. But a great view of sunsets on the lake. But also be advised that the turnaround at the end is tight. Keep your camper high on the turn to keep from dragging your camper as you turn. We saw a couple campers do that while we were there.

Popular COE conveniently located off the interstate. Stayed only one night while traveling, but can see why it would be a destination spot. Nice COE by a large lake with FHU options.

We always enjoy staying at Gun Creek in the Nighthawk loop. The only downside here is that there isn’t any basketball goals here. I had to drive to Benton to their park so the grandkids could play basketball. North Marcum was already closed for the season.

Site was far from level. Had to use every leveling block we had, and still were pretty tilted. It’d help a lot if the site descriptions gave information on site slope. For a quick overnight in a class B van, a level site is most welcome.

Location was peaceful. There is an archery shooting complex near by. There isn’t much for bike riding or hiking trails, but close to the lake for some shore fishing.
