Overall, love this campground! We've been coming here for years. The shower house is really showing it's age, but my biggest issue was the standing water that's left after cleaning. If the excess water was squeegeed to the drain that would be fine.

The park gets 5 stars. 4-Star rating is due to traffic/airplane/train noise. Otherwise an outstanding park.

We loved our weekend at Gun Creek for the eclipse. We found the shower house to be clean with plenty of hot water. The neighbors near us were respectful and fun. Though the campground was almost full it didn't feel crowded.

We always enjoy Gun Creek. We grab some white pie (or any of their other great flavors) at Burton’s Cafe and frozen custard in Sesser.
