The campground was very nice. Some sites were a little close to each other, but doable. Our site had a steep decline making leveling difficult and there was a culvert across the driveway that made backing into the site very hard. Onsite water and electric were good. We camped with a 35 ft 5th wheel.

Many unlevel sites; sites and access roads are very narrow.

Site was big. Not as level as we would have liked but it was right on the water and the view was beautiful. Will definitely return.

Liked the location for beauty and things to do. Biggest opportunity is to be clear about slope of pad. I booked 48 due to proximity to water; turned out to be very steep and I could not make it work. Staff was helpful finding us a replacement. However we were there in early April and there were lots of open spots. If you were full, I’d be setting up in a day use area.

Very clean park. Shower building was great. Separate shower and bathroom behind each door. Need to have a dog area.
We will return.

This was our first time a Gun creek and the first trip with our new rig, it was fantastic. The view was perfect, site clean, bathrooms very clean.
Each site is well spaced which allows privacy, yet close enough to visit the other campers. We will be back.
