Beautiful location. Bluebird loop site 48 slopes down so much we were at the limit of our rig to get level.

We were in site 32. We were camping in a fifth wheel rv. I would not recommend this site for rv camping. The grade was very steep and we could not correct it.

Camp site was nice, weather was excellent, but the bath house could use a little maintenance.

Site 65 was too much out of level from side to side. My fifth wheel tires were two inches off of the ground after we set up. Facilities were nice but that's the worst site I have been on in a long time.

I had a reservation for camping at Gun Creek Knight Hawk Lot #1. May 14th through May 20th.
On May 18th approx 4:00pm a large tree branch fell onto the awning of my camper. Totally destroyed the awning system. Had to remove awning system. I did have a Ranger come out to the site and he made a report and took photo's.
The tree hanging over the camp site was dead! I have camped at the same site several years ago and reported the dead branches. I need a copy of the Rangers report. and someone to contact to get this resolved. I feel that the camp ground should pay for the replacement of my awning.
