Outside of the over-cleaning of the camp bathrooms that made my eyes sting, outside, the campground was fabulous!

A good site with a great view of the lake. Gun Creek is a great Corp campground for a quiet stay. The one issue is the persimmon trees on the site. Campers in the fall will have to deal with fruit on the ground.

The spot was very nice but the Persimmons on the ground were a total mess. I love Persimmons but they need to cut that tree down because it makes a huge mess. They get all in your RV and stuck to your shoes. The grass was very tall and considering the campground was PACKED it should have been mowed. Otherwise very nice quiet site.

Although we only spent one overnight here it was an enough to make us plan a return. The gate attendant was friendly and welcoming. The site was well kept and had a view of the lake. There were patrols which gave a sense of security.

My favorite Rend Lake campground is Gun creek. Its quiet and grounds are well maintained.

Unusual check-in/check-out times. Had to chase down lady for tag to go on pole and never caught her. Park ranger had to bring to us after we had already set up. He seemed a little upset with us. Showers were great, lot was great, and view was amazing!! Very clean!

Gun Creek is a really nice campground with lot of space between sites. There are trails near it and golf course with restaurant. Sites are pretty good and they describe how level they are in the description. I stay on #49 and while it was list as level, I still had to do a little leveling. Host was fine and they did check on you. I ride my trike and there is plenty of safe riding in the area.
