Beautiful park, very convenient to the interstate. Some sites don’t have water hook-up, so be sure to fill your fresh water tank. Clean bathrooms and well-maintained park.

We love camping at Gun Creek. It’s quiet and has lots of room for the kids to ride their bikes. Most sites are easy to set up your camper there are only a few that are to steep and a few (site #5) that your campfire is directly next to your neighbors camper. Just do a site search before booking.
