Gun Creek campground stay was excellent. Full hook ups, easy back in site, easy access to area to hook and unhook TOAD. Future travelers beware though, road to campground has a posted weight limit of 10 ton. Many Class A's will exceed this posted weight limit.

Great spot, not level, but good amenities. The lake is not easy to access due to rocks between the shore and the water.

Wonderful place to be for a night or several more nights. Quiet, peaceful by the water, lots of room on each site. We have visited here more times than we can count. Perfect place to rest and relax. We also had a great chat with Dakota - one of the hosts. Our Lab pups loved him. Very sociable and there to help. Thank you!!!
