Nice campsite- level with good power. Some of the sites are not level at all. So beware

Nice level site with sewer and water. Level patio area but it is lime that tracks in the camper. View of the lake.

Although we only spent one overnight here it was an enough to make us plan a return. The gate attendant was friendly and welcoming. The site was well kept and had a view of the lake. There were patrols which gave a sense of security.

Restrooms and showers in good condition. Our site had a bit of a steep slope toward the lake (55), but offered a good view and was OK for sleeping in our van.

A perfect place to camp; large sites, quiet, beautiful views, great walking and biking paths and not too far from shopping and restaurants. COE campgrounds are my favorites!

We love Gun Creek on Rend Lake In southern Illinois. Always, clean, well-managed. Only minor complaint...some of the sites aren't level. Doesn't affect us much since our RV is small but I have seen some 5th Wheels and motor homes jacked way up in the front so make their units level.
ey - how about making the print in this survey a little larger so I don't have to get my nose right up to my screen in order to read your questions and my comments!!!
