Excellently maintained campsite and bathrooms. Close to the lake. Everyone was respectful and quiet at night. The playground was a great plus to entertain the kids while setting up camp.

This was a very well kept park. We only stayed one night as we were traveling thru. Site was large enough for our total length HDT which is 72 foot long. No need to unhook.

We’ve stopped here several times either on our way south or on our way back north. Have never had a bad experience.

We held our family reunion at the Gun Creek Day Area and it was perfect! The bathroom were a bit of a distance but the lake view and the perfectly shaded area was worth that sacrifice. We'll be holding ALL of our reunions there from now on.
