Very nice campground. We stayed for the night traveling through the state. Sites were decent size, great views of lake, and great price. It had just rained and was muggy out, so quite a bit of mosquitoes were hanging out under our awning and truck. But they didn't seem to bother us as we were walking our dog. Definitely would return if in the area!!!

Gun creek is one of our favorite campgrounds. The only issue we have is there is not enough parking spots or spaces. You can barely get the camper and two vehicles in most of the spots. Really need to add an additional parking spot to each campsite.

Campground was very clean and sites were well maintained. Bathrooms were also very clean. The only negative was due to the noise level from the construction work being done on the bridge. So that is of course not the campgrounds fault. It was really loud unfortunately. The rodeo and fireworks show was awesome though!

We went the weekend of July 4th. We had an excellent spot to view the fireworks at the golf course. Friendly and quiet campground.

Gun Creek has been a nice stop-over of mine for the last few years. It's a beautiful, well-kept facility right off the highway. Watch for specific site notations regarding those that aren't very level; aside from that, it's always a treat to stay here.

Site 56 is not a usable site for RV camping. Way too much of a slope. We came off the road after a 400 mi day and high 90 degree temperatures and, even after unhooking our 5th wheel camper, could not get close to being level. So we slept that way for the night. My wife is handicapped and could barely walk in the RV.
So, no, this was not a good experience for us.

We stayed at Gun Creek, in site 95, for 2 nights while visiting area attractions. It is well maintained and convenient to the interstate.
