We camped at site 083 on the last 5 days of the season. The park was almost empty, but all facilities were available and the park was clean and fully staffed. Our site was on the lake front, with a beautiful view of the sunsets but very windy when the was wind from the west.

Gun Creek is a beautiful place to camp at Rend Lake, IL.
We enjoy fall camping so it's the perfect place to go in November.

Great, mostly flat site and easy to level your rig. That's not the case with many of the sites here. There are an inordinate amount of negative sloped sites (sloping away from the campground road toward the back of the site). There are some that I would consider unusable for that reason. Look for the notes made about the grade percentage of slope and also check reviews where most of us will let you know!

This is a great spot. It is definitely very unlevel and takes a bit to get the camper level, but it is right on the water and you have a large front yard leading up to the water. It was very chilly in late April, but would be a perfect location later in the year. We would definitely come back to this spot sometime in the summer or early Fall.

A good site with a great view of the lake. Gun Creek is a great Corp campground for a quiet stay. The one issue is the persimmon trees on the site. Campers in the fall will have to deal with fruit on the ground.
