Site was far from level. Had to use every leveling block we had, and still were pretty tilted. It’d help a lot if the site descriptions gave information on site slope. For a quick overnight in a class B van, a level site is most welcome.

Popular COE conveniently located off the interstate. Stayed only one night while traveling, but can see why it would be a destination spot. Nice COE by a large lake with FHU options.

Gun Creek campground is very clean, the sites are spacious, with plentiful views of Rend Lake. It was a quiet restful visit. we loved the campground so much we extended our stay twice!

Gun Creek and South Markumn are our favorite stop over spots while traveling on highway 57. Lots of sites on Rend Lake and plenty of space between sites.

A beautiful site. But while it is level side to side, it has quite a slope. 4 inches on the back still requires you to drop the nose all the way down. But a great view of sunsets on the lake. But also be advised that the turnaround at the end is tight. Keep your camper high on the turn to keep from dragging your camper as you turn. We saw a couple campers do that while we were there.

Really enjoyed our stay at Gun Creek. Great pricing, nice spacing between sites, clean bathrooms, easy highway access (but no traffic noise). Would definitely stay again.
