Does the lake have power restrictions? Can you use a wave runner on the lake?

I was here on a rainy week so I didn't do much at the campground. I did visit Brewery 51 and St Nicholas Brewery just west of the campground. The last day I was at camp was a beautiful day and if I could have stayed I would have hit the bike trails that go around the lake. Bike maps were available where I checked in. The showers were clean and hot with full pressure.
I had no trouble with internet access using a Verizon hotspot.

We have always enjoyed the Army corps of engineers camps, and rates include our federal senior pass discount. (50% off). We stayed here twice, once on the west side of Rend Lake, and once at Gun Creek. Both large private sites, and we found some with full hookups. (They also have a variety of hookups). Beautiful trees and lakes, with privacy too! Don’t like the reserve system though…we called and were treated to many recordings plus big hold times. ReserveAmerica is a loser. But we showed up in afternoon and the host working at the entrance station registered us. (They are not available from 3 til 4 PM)

Sites are spread apart and mostly wooded. All back-in sites with a side space for your toad/truck. Mostly flat but we did have a challenge getting level . Quiet but less than a mile from the Interstate. Public golf course adjacent as part of the recreation area.
They have a great dump site that has better access I have seen. Bathhouses are clean and well kept. Boat ramp available and good fishing in Rend Lake.
When you reserve on reservations.gov check the facilities for your site. Some are electric only, some water & electric , some FHU.
My cost reflects Senior discount 50% with America the Beautiful
Pass.
