Our site was great and just as posted on the site! Spectrum mobile worked better than At&T.

Just a one night stay while traveling. Clean and well maintained. If you are looking for seclusion, the sites are a tad close to each other from what I saw. Paved drives into all campsites. Some sites have a 6% grade on them, so setting up an RV to level may be a challenge for some. Solid wheel chocks are an absolute must. Interstate noise is a constant.

Really enjoyed our stay at Gun Creek. Great pricing, nice spacing between sites, clean bathrooms, easy highway access (but no traffic noise). Would definitely stay again.

A beautiful site. But while it is level side to side, it has quite a slope. 4 inches on the back still requires you to drop the nose all the way down. But a great view of sunsets on the lake. But also be advised that the turnaround at the end is tight. Keep your camper high on the turn to keep from dragging your camper as you turn. We saw a couple campers do that while we were there.

Gun Creek and South Markumn are our favorite stop over spots while traveling on highway 57. Lots of sites on Rend Lake and plenty of space between sites.
