The campground was clean and easy to get in and out of. The shower house and bathrooms were kept up and clean. Most sights had views of the lake.

We love Gun Creek and the Rend Lake area. We have spent a week there and went back the following fall for 4 days. Great campground! Will return many times.

Overall very happy, however it is very obvious that funding cuts have affected the park. Walking path between the loop has deteriorated badly and needs repair. My Granddaughter fell and scratched her knee. The mowing service is not doing their job in my opinion, the campsites need to be cleaned up. All that being said it remains a peaceful and nice park to camp.

The man and lady were wonderful. I don't think they should be allowed to park the boats in the small parking lots. I thought the large one as you come in was for boats. Now that we aren't allowed to park on grass and have someone come to visit you have to drive pick them up and take them back to there car.
