This campground is spacious but the facilities aren’t maintained all that well. Also it is infested with ticks. I get it being outside means there will be ticks but I was pulling several off of me each day here and that was on days I never left my site. I would be willing to go back if they could spray for ticks some. It was pretty bad. Also the chiggers are horrible here as well. Not as serious since they don’t carry diseases

The campground is well maintained, quiet, prompt with reservations.
We enjoy the area and the campers who frequent Gun Creek.
Nothing to report as needing attention. Great job COE.

The campground was really nice. We had a lake view spot. It was a quiet site. We went during the week. The bath house was nice. We will be back.

Great place! We have been many times and it has always been clean and well kept. Camp hosts are friendly and helpful.

Nice and simple little park. BEWARE OF TINY CULDESACS! dragged a camper bumper in one of the pull through spots. Big dip going in and built (as an afterthought?) in a hill. Cludesacs to turn around are also extremely small and have no shoulders. I pulled a 42 ft 5th wheel. It was touch and go.

Easy check-in. Site #23 is FHU and is level. We had a view of the lake and grilled outside on our own grill. There is a firepit. We did see a woodchuck as we were leaving in the morning.
