We had a great site, #27. Wonderful view and FHU. The pad is unlevel, we had to put 3" of boards on the street side of the camper. Weather wasn't the greatest, so we plan on visiting this campground again in the future.

The campsite was mostly level and a big side yard. It also had a great view of the lake. We will definitely go back.

Camp hosts were great Helpful to a first time visitor. Bathroom were very clean
Only problem dead trees above my camp site. Big branches fell near my vehicle. There was high winds but dead trees need to be taken down

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!!!

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!

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.
