We have a class A 45 foot and since our first site I picked was not level enough she found us a better site. I will say the sites are not level so be prepared for that. However it is a great park and always full. They say it is also great fishing.

This is a beautiful park on a beautiful lake. We found the facilities to be very clean and well stocked during our stay. Our campsite, #52 in the Cardinals loop was a mostly level concrete pad and offered both 30 and 50 amp electric hookups at the pedestal. I would caution that many, if not all, of the campsites along the water are steeply sloped toward the lake making them more suitable to shorter towable units. Motorized units will have an extremely difficult, if not impossible, task to safely level the unit. There is a public golf course less than a half mile from the campground if you want to get a round in while camping, and it offers a clubhouse with restaurant where you can grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner if you feel like skipping a night of cooking. My visit was before the summer season, so the campground was almost empty during the week, but it filled up Friday and Saturday night. I am sure a location this beautiful is full almost every night during the summer. Site #52 in the Cardinal loop offered clear views of the sky for Starlink.

Nice coe. Windy because most are right on the water. No hot water in showers. Luke warm but not hot. Not too busy. Never really saw a host. Was there 2 weeks. Was clean.

This is a great spot. It is definitely very unlevel and takes a bit to get the camper level, but it is right on the water and you have a large front yard leading up to the water. It was very chilly in late April, but would be a perfect location later in the year. We would definitely come back to this spot sometime in the summer or early Fall.

A good site with a great view of the lake. Gun Creek is a great Corp campground for a quiet stay. The one issue is the persimmon trees on the site. Campers in the fall will have to deal with fruit on the ground.
