When I went to register she was 40 minutes late on monday. The grass is cut high and looked like it needed cut directly after the mowing for it was very tall before and tall afterwards. it harbored deer ticks because it was so tall. The restrooms were not cleaned daily. We were not happy with the campground although the sight was nice. One family showerhouse would not lock. Do they need someone else oversseing that campground? It was the worst kept up I have seen since camping again.

Very clean and well maintained. Beautiful view of the lake. But I didn't think about the wind off the lake making it feel much colder than it was in the fall and I did not pack the appropriate clothing. That's on me, but don't let it be you 😆.

I had site 35. It was off the lake and only had electric service. The water fill up was convienent on the way in by the dump station though. It was a nice, shaded lot, quiet even though it was busy. I will say though, some erosion has happened and the pavement to the ground where you back your rig into is very high off the ground and could be a fall risk for some. The proximity to the bathrooms is excellent, like 2 spots down, and the shower house was also a very short walk. I love this area and will be back.

We enjoyed our overnight stay at gun Creek. The lady at the office was really nice when we checked in and provided helpful assistance and information.Full hook up was really nice. Campsites are nicely spaced with lots of trees. Our campsite had a paved drive at a concrete patio and a fire ring and a picnic table. We highly recommend this campground.
