Gun Creek campground and facilities were top grade. We really enjoyed our FHU site that was deep in the woods from the road. The table and firepit were at the deepest part of the site with trees on both sides which provided privacy. We camped for 5 nights in a class B van.

I would like to see more lights out, incase you have to walk to the bathroom and your light goes out, you would be in the total dark. I also wouldnt mind better cell phone service. There isnt much parking where we were for both of our vehicles. But overall we had a great time.
