...so sad to see this beautiful setting being so neglected...come on...a little maintenance please!! My husband & I have been camping here for years. We LOVE it! Very nice & not too far from local stores. We bring our little dog with us & she loves it, too! LOVE the fact that dogs are allowed! The weekend of July 23, 2011 was our first stay at Wind Creek Park. The central Alabama setting is stunningly beautiful. The park is old, but clean, and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful. Campers feel safe without being hovered over by staff. Lake Martin is a gem, and Wind Creek provides the perfect setting to enjoy the lake. Other campers were friendly and the feeling is like a large family reunion. Children play everywhere, and the park is dog friendly, so if quiet is what you are after pick a weekday rather than a weekend. This place is busy. The lake is clean and clear. We are camp and boat and were able to anchor our boat just off from the shore, and walk through shallow water to the campsite. The lake bottom is sandy and clean. Some sites have a sea wall which can be slick, however some have a sandy beach and still others have docks. We will definately be back to Wind Creek! 
WE HAVE BEEN COMING TO WIND CREEK FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I COULDNT GROW UP FAST ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO BRING MY OWN FAMILY TO THIS GREAT PLACE...BUT COME ON GUYS!!!! MY FAMILY AND I ARE SO DISAPPOINTED.. TIME FOR SOME MAJOR RENAVATIONS. IT BREAKS OUR HEARTS TO SEE OUR PARK LOOK SO RAN DOWN. WE HOPE WE WILL SEE IMPROVEMENT SOON EVEN CABLE RAN TO THE SITES ALSO..WE LOVE OUR PARK NEGLECTED OR NOT........... We spent our Spring Break there with our 5 year old daughter and 18 year old nephew. Both of them enjoyed our time there, fishing, swimming, playing on the playgrounds, biking, hiking, etc. The new bath house was wonderful. Great family place. my parents used to bring us here to camp when I was young.its been 25 year since i was here before last august.watching my kid riding their bikes and swimming in the same place i did as a kid was awesome.the people there were very friendly,the staff were great and helpful,the park was always kept very clean.I cant wait to go back this summer.
It is a great campground and they have done LOTS of improvements over the past couple of years. They did close off sections and reworked them. Cutting down old trees and building new cabins and a new bath house. We love to spend Thanksgiving there and will do so again this year. About not allowing dogs. I have never taken my dogs in the past, but have a new dog and will be taking her. She does not bark all the time and is a good dog. If someone has a dog that barks all the time go complain to the park ranger/office. I am sure they will take care of the problem. There is required quite time in the park. I agree with this post. (Very nice location. The park needs alot of repairs. Some roads and sites are washed out and patch with gravel.Some sites have no are very little grassy areas. Electric boxes are old and dated.No grills. With some work this would be the best park in the USA.)--
Management needs to do a punch list and get to work. This is a very nice park that needs some good ole fashioned elbow grease. To start with, add some soil to eroded sites and plant some grass. Very clean bath houses. Nicest campers you could ever meet. No barking dogs heard. This park is large enough that a section could be closed for overhaul without affecting the remaining guest. Its a great place I went there alone to fish and camp and walk the hiking trails its very lovely place, only draw back campsites are to close together and be watchful if your coming in a tent, not all sites accommodate tents very well or is all down hill besides rv pad Very nice location. The park needs alot of repairs. Some roads and sites are washed out and patch with gravel.Some sites have no are very little grassy areas. Electric boxes are old and dated.No grills. With some work this would be the best park in the USA. We camp here every year and have never been told that our kids HAVE to sleep in a tent alone, just had to throw that out there.. As for the dogs, there were ALOT of barking and rowdy dogs last year when we were there.. All in all I love this place and plan on camping here every year from now on..
I was very disapointed this weekend to stay at Wind Creek State Park. I felt like I was sleeping in a dog kennel. Barking dogs everywhere. We arrived 7:30 P.M. in the rain. Rain does not stop us from camping. Our neighbors were loud that night slamming camper doors, talking, and carring on to where we could not sleep. Their dog barked constantly and then other dogs would bark. Yes, I have a dog of my own and I either board her or pay someone to keep her out of respect to other campers trying to have a good time. You might want to consider no dogs allowed....... This was our first time coming to Wind Creek. It was breath taking. I have never seen a lake this big. I think it is a lovely place my only problem is they said we had to put our 5 and 6 yr old in a tent by themselves I feel this is dangerous.. they could wander off or something or somebody could wander in.. no camping this year, sorry Windcreek is the best campground in the world.My grandmother takes me every year we have spring-break at school.Its the week of my birthday and its the best.This year I will be 16(13 more days)and cant wait any longer.Camping my whole life and WCSP beats all.I recommend this to EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!..... Great place to camp. They now have trails for riding horses on. The trails are beatiful.You may also camp with your horse. A must do for all horse lovers
We made our first visit last summer and we love it. The park and the lake are very clean and the staff is very helpful. We will be going back as soon as possible.
I am a true camper, here in the area on a project, I am from Texas. The place is awsome will be back. Wonderful camp sites, fishing, swiming , hiking, plenty of room to ride bikes,boating,friendly workers at the park. Clean showers and restrooms, the park is patrolled by the park cops to make sure everyone is well. No rowdyiness allowed.
Happy Camping! My family stumbled up this park when we were actually trying to find somewhere to launch our boat and fish away from the muck of West Pont Lake and Lake Lanier in Georgia. We actually went tubing and noticed the Park. So we made reservations to the park and brought our boat and loved it! Great people, clean bathrooms, has a camp store, marina, etc., etc. This is just a wonderful place to camp and boat. I would recommend this to anyone! We just made reservations for this coming weekend, we try to camp here as much as possible - WE LOVE IT!!! we visited wcsp last summer for the first time and we had a blast from the beach to the fishing and all the campers were all son polite we are gonna make a return trip at least once a year maybe more i would recommend this park to anyone who just wants to get away from city life for a weekend or more...
