We have enjoyed camping at gun creek for many years. The host’s are very polite. This time the park seem like there was a little more trash laying around on the ground. Obviously the site that we were in had a large dog the week before. Feces just littered the ground. We hope one day pet owners will respect the rules of the park.

The lots were alright but the bathrooms are terrible. There are NO ventilation so you could breathe as the temperature was so hot. The bathrooms are all full of bugs and gross. Please take an example of Boulder at Carlyle and correct this.

Great Lake access. Close to the highway, but quiet.

Gun Creek is one of our favorite campgrounds. We camp there for two weeks at a time to go fishing. Catfishing in June and then crappie fishing in November. Gate people are very friendly. Nice big sites. Though some sites are very hard to level off on.

The site was noted as having a severe slope, having a septic smell and close to a road with traffic noise, we had booked just a few weeks in advance so we just grabbed what we could! NOT TOO SHABBY IMO! Yes, there was a severe slope, but we still got close in a 29' TT. Yes, there was a septic smell when you walked past the septic but not anywhere else on this site. Yes, there was traffic noise, but you honestly can't tell the difference between that and a boat if you weren't looking. I'm sure they may have been "better' sites, but I honestly wouldn't hesitate to pick this site again!
