Gun Creek

We love rend lake and gun creek is our favorite I wish you’d put in trash can for dog poo. That’s my only complaint

The water view sites are some of the best on the lake. That said, they do come with some road noise from both the interstate and county road that crosses the lake. Gun Creek no longer has an on-site "host". The check-in gate is staffed limited hours, which are posted at the gate house. TV reception with your standard RV antenna is limited. We have ATT cell service and our signal strength was good, not great.

This is a great level site for big rigs and it has great view of the water. Sites are spaced nicely.

We loved this park. It's pretty, well-kept, and has a private feel. It's big rig friend and easily accessible. When you enter off of the main road, there are signs that say 10ton limit but that makes no sense because of the size of rigs at this park. We believe this is for the local golf club and facilities there. Fret not, just drive ahead.

Super accessible site with plenty of maneuvering room to back in. We are a 43' motorhome with attached 22' trailer and we fit without issue. We did put 2" of boards under our rear axle to aid in leveling because it has a slight downslope to the back but that was it. No inconvenience whatsoever.

Overall, we loved this park and site. Perfect for big rigs like us!

Great park.

This was the second year we camped here. Last year wee learned to reserve as early as possible. We also scouted the campground for sites we would like to try on future visits. We had a beautiful secluded site (full hookups) in the woods, where we could see the lake through the trees & also close to the restroom. Surprisingly the bugs were not bad. The campground is very well maintained & the staff is friendly & courteous. Our AT&T service was sufficient for streaming the TV & computer. The other campers were friendly, courteous & well behaved. I brought my canoe for some lake paddling. We plan to return again next year. FYI: limited number of "full hookup" sites & the inclines of some sites require additional blocking. HAPPY CAMPING

Add more full hookup sites

Traveling on the interstate 57 and needed a place to sleep, shower (across from site C59) and make dinner. Location is perfectly located off the interstate on a beautiful lake. Price was right @ $18 Cardinal loop (no water) and slept like a baby. We booked it from our phone 5 min before pulling in. I will gladly pay $18 a night for a safe, quiet site with electricity and shower.

Site was great for lake front. But it does have a good amount of slope so if you have a larger unit, it could be difficult to get level.

This is a nice campground, but there were several negatives concerning our site. We were in site 18. First, the positives. This site is a full hookup site with water and sewer. There are only a few full hookup sites in the park. There is a golf course with a restaurant in close proximity. A local winery is only a couple of miles away. They have a tasting room, and food trucks that come in on Sunday afternoons where you can also listen to live music.

Now the negatives. The gnats and mosquitos were horrible. You could hardly breathe without a mask to keep them out of your body. They would swam inside when we opened the door. We bought some tiki torches which helped a little, but not a lot. The picnic table and fire ring were behind the coach, and we had very little patio area. The camper on our patio side was extremely close. The trees around our campsite had some kind of parasite which formed golf ball sized fungus nodules on stems which covered the patio, and dropped down on the roof of the RV. And possibly because of the large gnat population, we had a huge herd of spiders that built webs all over our RV. We parked the coach near enough to the patio side of the asphalt parking pad so that the steps hung past the edge, and used our portable step to overcome the drop down. We did not use the restrooms or shower facilities. We did notice that many of the other sites, particularly the ones with waterfront access, were extremely slanted and unlevel. We saw some travel trailers with the hitch almost on the ground, and the rear stabilizers on blocks.

If you stay here, take time to drive a few miles north to Burton's restaurant. They have great food, and are famous for their white pie, which is kind of like a light custard. I would give it a rating of 4 yummies.

We had decent wifi connection with our Verizon hotspot. Cell phone signal over AT&T was spotty, and we had to drive over to the golf course to get a good enough signal to make phone calls.
