The campsite is easy to back into. While the site is listed as being shaded, there is only shade in the late afternoon. The site is washed out and there is no level place to put a food prep table. Majority of the sites have a paved area next to the pad, this site does not. The site overrun with ants on all sides with many ant hill clearly visible.

Campground is well maintained. Spots are nicely spaced apart. Staff were helpful and pleasant to deal with. Definitely will stay at this park again.

We broke down on our way there, I called and they held our spot for us. We also ended up needing to stay an additional night due to needed repairs to our RV and they were able to accommodate us which was a huge relief! Our spot was beautiful. It was well maintained and clean. The wildlife you get to see is amazing….deer everywhere! My husband and dog did get a bit of a surprise at 5 am one morning when they were greeted by the Mama Skunk and her 3 babies right outside our door! One baby chased them down the street!! 😂 Highly recommend Gun Creek..we are looking forward to going back!

Very nice campground with plenty of support when needed. Actually had an emergency and had paramedics and several volunteer agency’s and corp of engineers security and county police showed up within 15 min of calling. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful campground. !

I want to start by saying we were about an hr late getting to the campground because the road to the campground looks like you are going into a golf resort and they have a sign that states the road has a 10 ton weight limit, this is the only way in our motorcoach is 51,000 ibs. Booking was a breeze one of the best government web sites i have ever been on. make sure when you are booking your site look at the slope they are all listed. Many of the site are very unlevel

Site is level but large drop off on steps side. Almost makes it impossible to get up and down steps. Drop off is almost a foot and dangerous. Please fix. Other than that the camp ground is very nice and clean. This is our favorite place to come.
