Gun Creek is always a great time. We've been camping there for over 40 years. Rend Lake is one of out favorites.

clean, quiet campground. Friendly staff. Bathrooms cleaned every morning, I spoke with the gentleman cleaning them at 6 am, very nice. Close to Sesser for ice cream, Benton and Mt Vernon for restaurants and movie theater when it rained, gold courses and the lake.

The campsites were great. It was the weather that didn't cooperate. Thunderstorms every day, mostly at night. And very hot. Bad choice of dates... July
