The campground was very nice, the facilities were clean. check in was easy. My site was on the
edge of the lake, very beautiful. However while I was enjoying my dinner and the lake view a whole family decided to invade my site and set up chairs and fish from my site! Really? How rude. do you just go play in your neighbors yard at home? ruined my evening.

Great Clea campground. Good showers, quiet during the week. Beautiful lake views! Went to Marcum Beach also, very clean sandy beach! Will definitely camp there again.

Gun Creek is one of our favorite camping spots. We had a very good time, some things we see that need some attention are, some of the camp spots could use some work

We love the campgrounds at Rend Lake. Gun Creek is one of our favorites. We stay two weeks every month for the season. Our only complaint ever, is that the grass is usually tall and needs cut. There can also be a lack of parking. Rend Lake is a huge asset for Southern Illinois.

Had a pullthru one night as a stop over .camp ground almost empty on a wensday nite. Clean and quite on and off interstate quickly. Use the every 2months Memphis to Chicago run. Just don’t like weekend policy of 2 nights minimum. But at the he price it’s great.
