Stayed in site 77 with a 32’ fifth wheel. You need leveling boards as the passenger side was sloped 4.5 inches lower. With leveling boards under wheels was not a problem. Would definitely recommend and stay in this site again. Park was quiet and clean. Did not use bathrooms so can’t comment on those. Verizon service was great.

The spot was very nice but the Persimmons on the ground were a total mess. I love Persimmons but they need to cut that tree down because it makes a huge mess. They get all in your RV and stuck to your shoes. The grass was very tall and considering the campground was PACKED it should have been mowed. Otherwise very nice quiet site.

Beautiful campground! Our only complaint was the severe drop from camper to ground! Felt dangerous going g down the steps. Hope the bike trails are all connected in the near future!!

Was a very nice size campsite. The shower house was well kept. The campground was very peaceful, we really enjoyed our weekend there.

We stayed overnight on our way to Louisville; this was a very nice campground. The sites were widely spaced, the fall leaves were beautiful. There is a double sided dump site. I didn’t use the showers but every shower/ bathroom has its own outside door and is private. The price is incredible for full hookups.

Location was peaceful. There is an archery shooting complex near by. There isn’t much for bike riding or hiking trails, but close to the lake for some shore fishing.

We always enjoy staying at Gun Creek in the Nighthawk loop. The only downside here is that there isn’t any basketball goals here. I had to drive to Benton to their park so the grandkids could play basketball. North Marcum was already closed for the season.
