Very nice and clean campground very easy to get in and out. The camp spots have plenty of room in between them and you are not right on top of your neighbor. We really enjoyed our stay at Gun Creek. We will be using them again. We had wild turkey and deer come out of the woods right at our RV in the mornings it was cool to see them up close and watch them feed. They take really good care of this campground and it is right on the lake and very easy to get there off Interstate 57. Also there is a really nice Golf course on site in fact you have to drive thru it to get to the campgrounds. Seasons Restaurant is also on the property very good food..

Easy to get into our site. We drive a 37’ Class A and tow our Jeep. Site was pretty level. Lots of deer in the park. Nice spacing between sites.

This is a low laying spot. When it rained, there was a steady stream that flowed under the camper. There was mud that had settled on the pavement of the campsite that you are forced to drive though. Further, it's adjacent to the shower house and we did catch the occasional wiff of not-so-pleasant odors. Also, there is a gumball tree in this site. For our stay, (late Sept) there was the constant "thud" of gumballs hitting the roof. The curve of the pull through is a bit much for long rigs. We had a 30 ft 5th wheel and it was nearly impossible to get the steps on the pavement. They have put a bunch of road pack (which stayed soggy our entire stay) in the apex of the turn. If this site is all that there is, it'll work but there are much better sites.

We had one of the FHU sites. #063. Not hard to get level. Great Satilite reception and lots of OTA channels.
Close enough to town to easily get anything you might have forgotten or together something to eat. Town has a pet wash. $20 and you have a sparkling new pet.

We had a wonderful stay at Gun Creek and can’t wait to go back! Campground was busy but quiet. We kayaked in several places around the lake. The bike path is awesome! They do have a lot of skunks that make rounds after 7pm ..one guys dog got sprayed .. but they didn’t seem a nuisance if u didn’t pester them. Lots of deer and turkeys in the campground. We stayed 10 days. Wish we could have stayed longer.
