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!

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

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.

We stayed in site 20 with a class A and toad. FHU and easy to level. Great campground. We stay often when we are in this area.

The site was beautiful but we couldn't stay because the grade was too steep. We were in a 29' motor home, our jacks were maxed out and we were still not level. We had to pull out and we were refunded promptly without any fees.
