Site 84 is the perfect waterfront location. But keep in mind that it is at an incline. And when you look at the map it looks like it’s not right next to the other sites but in reality site 83 is directly next to it. But the location makes it worth it.

The host greeted us when we came in . It was after dark and was told where our camp site was at and we went to the site and was starting to back i and he came down with a flash light and helped us get backed in a d set up. That was very nice and we loved our site and the camp ground. We will be back again!

Unusual check-in/check-out times. Had to chase down lady for tag to go on pole and never caught her. Park ranger had to bring to us after we had already set up. He seemed a little upset with us. Showers were great, lot was great, and view was amazing!! Very clean!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Gun Creek Campground. I took my 8 & 4 year old grandkids there September 15-17 for their 1st ever camping trip. They absolutely loved the experience!! The entire campground was clean and mowed, the restrooms and shower house was clean and it was quiet at night. We will be going back in May, watching the calendar to open so I can book next year!!

We chose site 48 online because it was waterfront and looked like a great location. When we arrived, we found that it provided wonderful views of the lake, but the site was sloped and would have required quite a bit of leveling for our truck camper. However, there was a ranger nearby, who told us we could switch to site 50, which was available. The views weren't quite as spectacular, but we enjoyed a glorious sunset, and the next morning, we took a very short walk through the woods next to us, to a nice beach. This campground is clean, well kept and provides beautiful views of Rend Lake. Next time we'll stay longer so we can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and see more of the lake.

This is a beautiful park - our sight 84 lakeside was perfect and is a wonderful place to camp. Lots of bicycle riding available in the area! I would highly recommend this campground!

Would have given 5 stars but the old woman at check in was rude. Or just crabby. Or both. For goodness' sake, if you're having a bad day, don't take it out on innocent visitors who aren't familiar with where everything is located in the campground. Just answer the questions and try to smile.
