Many unlevel sites; sites and access roads are very narrow.

The campground was very nice. Some sites were a little close to each other, but doable. Our site had a steep decline making leveling difficult and there was a culvert across the driveway that made backing into the site very hard. Onsite water and electric were good. We camped with a 35 ft 5th wheel.

Could use another dumpster location and to empty them more frequently, they were overflowing and out of the way. Otherwise, it was a really cool setup with nice campsites.

Clean, quiet campground. Granted it was pretty cold for an opening weekend but grounds, staff, and facilities were ready to go. Staff was great and very responsive. The handle on our water faucet was broken but still usable. Since we were leaving the next day, I told the staff that they could come by after we left to replace it. The repairman was there in about an hour and had it repaired very quickly. The pictures on the website were deceiving as the sites are bigger than they appear in them. Descriptions on the site are pretty much spot on. Looking forward to our next stay there.

Nice camp spot. The fire pit and picnic table needs to be closer to the camping pad.

Nice facility. Had a bad 50 amp outlet on the service. Told them about it after hours. They had it fixed the next morning. They would have done it immediately but I told them I was getting by fine on 30 amp.

The Gun Creek campground is super nice. The sites are clean and so are the restrooms and shower houses. Overall, I love Gun Creek and will most definitely be back!
