Need to mow more. Every time we’re camping grass is high. They don’t mow it very low. For some

Even though it rained most of the time we were there, the Bath House is always clean and plenty of hot water! Mist of the sites are easy to get into and are fairly level. There are a handful of sites that really angle down hill. Gun Creek has easy interstate on and off. Some highway noise, very tolerable. Plenty to do and wildlife to see in the area. Camp hosts are very personable and friendly. We camp there several time a season with our friends.

Gun creek is our favorite campground to camp at Rend lake . Some camp spots could use some work.

Excellent stopping point right off I-57. Far enough from interstate that road noise is not an issue.

Clean, quiet, lots of kids and families as well as friendly fisherman. Beautiful sites on the lake.

Enjoyed our weekend, with one minor hiccup, as there was a mud dobber nest “in” the 50amp receptacle. We were able to use the 30amp until the technician was able to replace it early next morning. Thank you for the quick response.

Great campground. Entrance is next to a golf course and there is a sign prohibiting vehicle traffic over 10 tons gross weight.. All the rules and regulations for this park do not mention a 10 ton gross weight limit and over 50% of the camping rigs in the park from my assessment were over 10 tons gross weight. For your information. I like to follow the rules and this sign is confusing.

We stayed at #23. Full hook ups, level and nice view of the lake. Great campsite!
