Need to mow more. Every time we’re camping grass is high. They don’t mow it very low. For some

Gun creek is our favorite campground to camp at Rend lake . Some camp spots could use some work.

Excellent stopping point right off I-57. Far enough from interstate that road noise is not an issue.

We stayed at #23. Full hook ups, level and nice view of the lake. Great campsite!

Great campground. Entrance is next to a golf course and there is a sign prohibiting vehicle traffic over 10 tons gross weight.. All the rules and regulations for this park do not mention a 10 ton gross weight limit and over 50% of the camping rigs in the park from my assessment were over 10 tons gross weight. For your information. I like to follow the rules and this sign is confusing.

Enjoyed our weekend, with one minor hiccup, as there was a mud dobber nest “in” the 50amp receptacle. We were able to use the 30amp until the technician was able to replace it early next morning. Thank you for the quick response.

We have a class A 45 foot and since our first site I picked was not level enough she found us a better site. I will say the sites are not level so be prepared for that. However it is a great park and always full. They say it is also great fishing.
