Gun Creek is one of our favorite camping spots. We had a very good time, some things we see that need some attention are, some of the camp spots could use some work

The campground was very nice, the facilities were clean. check in was easy. My site was on the
edge of the lake, very beautiful. However while I was enjoying my dinner and the lake view a whole family decided to invade my site and set up chairs and fish from my site! Really? How rude. do you just go play in your neighbors yard at home? ruined my evening.

Great Clea campground. Good showers, quiet during the week. Beautiful lake views! Went to Marcum Beach also, very clean sandy beach! Will definitely camp there again.

Our site (#23 Nighthawk Loop) was great. It was roomy and level, with a great view.

The park is very nice and was quiet. Check in and out was a breeze. Site 30 is a little off level, but leveling the camper was manageable. Has a nice view of the water, mostly grass, and is a spacious site. The concreate pad has quite a large step off into the grass and a big rock at the corner of the concrete and asphalt that could be a trip hazard. Bug spray is a MUST as biting flies and gnats are abundant and very annoying! If you plan to bring your dog it would be good to put them on a lead because a skunk traveled through our campsite twice. I think they live nearby.

Site 32 was beautiful with views of the lake through the trees. The slope is substantial and was an issue even in a 19 ft trailer.

Nice level spot with trees for shade. Beautiful sunsets. They had a dumpster as well as water. Some sites had full hookups. Loved that the others had electricity.
Bathrooms/showers need to be cleaned! There was no water access from the campground.
