Site was enjoyable to watch the sunset. Clean shower house and bathrooms. This loop had parts that were close, yet many with a decent amount of space between them. Loop has playground, but you can't see it from this site. This site is a stone's throw to a tiny, tiny beach area. Cell service was good.

I had a reservation for camping at Gun Creek Knight Hawk Lot #1. May 14th through May 20th.
On May 18th approx 4:00pm a large tree branch fell onto the awning of my camper. Totally destroyed the awning system. Had to remove awning system. I did have a Ranger come out to the site and he made a report and took photo's.
The tree hanging over the camp site was dead! I have camped at the same site several years ago and reported the dead branches. I need a copy of the Rangers report. and someone to contact to get this resolved. I feel that the camp ground should pay for the replacement of my awning.

Site 65 was too much out of level from side to side. My fifth wheel tires were two inches off of the ground after we set up. Facilities were nice but that's the worst site I have been on in a long time.

Camp site was nice, weather was excellent, but the bath house could use a little maintenance.
