We stayed in site 20 with full hookups. The firepit is near the back of the space so it feels more like being in the woods.

Had a really nice couple of days camping with our grandsons. If you plan on going to the beach, we recommend S.Sandusky beach over Marcum. Don’t miss the Sesser Custard stand….. during your stay.

The lake was beautiful with multiple bike paths around the lake and numerous spots to put in our kayaks. We enjoyed our visit very much with the exception of the shower house/restroom facilities which were outdated, incredibly hot, and often so bug-filled including spiders that it was difficult to use the facilities with any confidence you wouldn't be bit before you escaped. I was very grateful we had a full hook-up and did not have to rely on the facilities for the most part.

The lake views at Gun Creek are beautiful. We enjoy riding our bikes on the bike trails around the lake and going to the ice cream stand in Sesser for a treat.
