This is one of our favorites. Most sites are fairly level although a few have somewhat steep slopes to them. Bath houses and toilets are clean. Decent cell service with good signal on our T-Mobil phones and wifi

Overall experience was good but the loop was full of people that had big dogs that barked a lot, and most owners didn't attempt to stop them. Disappointing.

I was very disappointed in the camping pads at Gun creek. They have nice asphalt to park the camper on, then the entire area around the picnic table is lime. Since it was raining the day we got, it was a complete mess. Then the next day it dried up nice which made it even more of a mess tracking in and out of the camper. The roads are narrow and tight pulling a camper around the entire campground. Not impressed!!

Nice park, sites are big with a lot of grassy area, close to Garden of the gods in Shawnee national forest.

Gun Creek is our favorite home away from home. Always quiet, our kids are able to ride their bikes without worry. Never a bad experience at Gun Creek.
