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

Our site was perfect, right on a corner on the loop, secluded with access to the lake. The campground was gorgeous and clean. We were quite happy.

As for Rend Lake, at Gun Creek, was good, but what upsets me, I got sick after 2 days being there, an left the next morning, I called in, to see if I can reclaim 2 days of my trip, an 2 weeks later, I still haven't heard anything if I can claim those last 2 days...So if this is the caring that Rend Lake has for their campers, I may camp somewhere else.....

God location.
Our campsite was very dirty. I put rubber gloves on and walked around picking up candy wrappers, beer caps, cigarette butts.
Fire pit not cleaned out

Nice camp and easy to get to from Interstate 57. We spent 2 nights as a trip layover and to scout the other COE camp on Rend Lake.
