Camping near Birmingham, South of Alexander City on Alabama Highway 128 you’ll find one of the largest state-owned campgrounds in the United States, Wind Creek State Park. However, that distinction is not the only thing that makes Wind Creek special. Wind Creek State Park is the public's access to Lake Martin.

Wind Creek’s 1,445 scenic acres hug the shoreline of beautiful Lake Martin making the park an angler’s paradise. Crappie, bluegill and striped bass are just a few of the species the lake has to offer. Several fishing tournaments are scheduled at the park each year.

If you're in the mood to test your nerves of steel, journey to the "Chimney Rock" area of Lake Martin. This is one of the hidden gems of the lake. After you test your nerves of steel, take a relaxing visit to Wind Creek State Park's North Picnic Area and enjoy some swimming and fishing on beautiful Lake Martin. After a full day at Wind Creek State Park and Lake Martin, take advantage of the park's only dairy creem, Creem @ The Creek for great food and beverages.

The park’s 586 campsites are spread over 320 acres and offer ample opportunities to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. Campsites include 102-30 amp waterfront campsites, 18-30 amp sewer waterfront campsites, 211-30 amp sewer campsites, 216-30 amp base campsites. For guests who prefer to stay in a camping cabin, the park has seven camping cabins to choose from, camping cabin 2 is handicap accessible. Each air conditioned cabin has a kitchenette and a private bathroom. Guests will need to bring their own bed linens, towels, cooking and eating utensils.  

The 39 premium campsite amenities include; water, sewer, 50/30/20 amp electrical, water front access, and TV service.  Three of the newly renovated sites are handicap accessible. Bathhouse and playground facilities are conveniently located throughout the park.

Separate from the above campsites we have an area restricted to equestrian camping. These 20 campsites are first come first serve and all have 30 amp electrical and water service.

Wind Creek State Park Campground

We booked last minute hoping to squeeze in a camping trip, our 2yo first camping trip. We haven’t been camping in years but instantly impressed by this park. Very well maintained. Some of the nicest bath houses I’ve ever been in. Clean, ac and working. 

We stayed at c99 which was a perfect spot for tents and kids. We were on a wedge between a water cove the bathrooms and the playground. Perfect location. The kids would play at the water, feeding fish or ducks and the adults would do the chores they needed too. The donut truck also shows up at the playground every morning. The big beach is a little walk (2-3blocks) but it’s worth it! There is a snack shack with pizza sandwiches burgers and ice cream, a zip line and the silo tower to explore. 

The playground is practically brand new and huge. All the kids loved this. There is put put, kona ice and boat rentals. 

The park seemed like it was at 90% capacity but you wouldn’t know it. It felt like a handful of people were at the beach and the playground, etc. 

Definitely will be back soon. 

Best first camping trip ever

Great camp sites on the water but they require a 7 day reservation.

Windcreek

This is one of the largest if not the largest campgrounds in a state park. Tons of families camp here each summer- holidays fill up fast (Halloween is such a blast here!!!) kids can ride bikes, play at the park, or even check out the zip lines.

Great family oriented park

Very great place to go camping very kid friendly park

Staff is very friendly we’ll keep clean and plenty of activity’s to do

This campground is a better place for the summer not much to do in the winter. It's a place for swimming, fishing, and boat riding. Nice bath houses and nice camp store. 

Nice Stay

The lots are pretty close , but it's a very nice family and pet friendly park . Lake views from just about every lot .

It's a great family campground .

Wind Creek is a big, busy campground located right on the shores of Martin Lake outside of Alexander City. There is a ton to explore from canoeing and kayaking to hiking and rock climbing. We would definitely visit this campground again!

Lake, Hiking, Rock Climbing - Family Friendly

Lots of campsites, fishing, pavillions and bath houses. Sites for tents and RV's. Conveniently located near Alexander City in case you forgot anything. Loaded with activities for the whole family, fishing, water sports, hiking, geocaching, or just relaxing in the shade, this place has pretty much everything.

Good value for the money

Located on Lake Martin with lots of space and many lake front sites as well as interior sites. Plenty of Great bath house facilities throughout. Lots of activities, family and dog friendly too. Not many people this time of year, which we like. Good hiking trails, Fishing, archery, playgrounds, all kinds of water sports.  Take the time to visit this State Park. 

Great campground on Lake Martin

All camp sites have water and power and fits the needs of most all campers, including Equine campsites

Clean grounds and the largest capacity and spacious individual sites than most

Security in and out frequently.

Kids can run the area and you can see them almost everywhere they go

Quiet and peaceful

Pet friendly and LOTS of activities.

The nicest campground I’ve ever been. 

This was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint . It was a great place to relax and unwind. We planned on just staying for the day and stayed the night just so we could spend another day at wind creek . 

Great place to relax

This is one of the largest state run campgrounds with over 500 sites. We stayed at site 100 it was an excellent site right on the water next to us was like a private beach. This is the only public access to Lake Martin. Large lake for swimming, boating, fishing. Sites are very open to each other but a lot of shade. Bathhouses are large and very well taken care of but I did not have any hot water at the time. Bathhouse was also a bit of a hike from site but had parking area so we drove over there and included a nice laundry facility. Several hiking trails fishing and other outdoor activities at this park.  Cabins are available and premium campsites that have 50 amp service, water, sewer, cable and waterfront access. This park is close to stores and restaurants within a 20 minute drive. This campground definitely has a lot of amenities.

Great all around campground

The campground was wonderful! So many amenities. Air conditioned bathrooms. Shower pressure and temperatures spot on and clean. Lake beach was wonderful everyone was friendly. Hiking, paddle boats, canoeing, boat rentals, fishing pier, archery, putt putt, and a snow cone truck that came around in the evenings. What a treat. Will do again.

Wonderful experience!

 We have been here multiple time with the latest visit being 4/2020. We have stayed in most sections at least once. Site are mostly level. Some are tight to back into but doable. Some sites and FHU and some lack sewer. They show movies on weekend nights outdoors by the main playground. The playgrounds must be the best because I see children out there at 7am until way after dark. When it's open anyway. Was closed on last visit. Fishing pier, zip line, hiking trails and water related stuff. Many sites are on the water but they book many months in advance during warm weather. Boat launches and docks around in different locations for campers to use. 

The bath house in the premium section is closed due to storm damage. They fill propane and sell firewood. Marina in the park area.

We will visit again.

Love this campground/ Park.

Huge campground and the sites are fairly close and crowed for a state park. Beautiful location. Waterfront sites have a week minimum but if any are available at check in time you can upgrade.

Huge!

We really enjoyed our stay at Wind Creek. The lake is beautiful with plenty amenities. There are quite a few campsites on the lake, the rest still have lake views. Some slots are smaller than others, which is something you have to be cautious about when reserving your spot. Other than that, everything was amazing! Wind Creek is definitely a place we will return to in the near future and quite often! Check out the views from the Silo in the day use area! Amazing views of the lake!

One of the Best!

Awesome campground. If you look at the map you’ll see that some sites are full hook-up and some are not. We stayed in C section with full hook-ups. They have playgrounds throughout the campground, trails from 1 mile long to 15 miles long that can be utilized by horse, bike, or on foot. Boat rentals include two different places. The marina for motorized jon boats and pontoon boats. You can rent these for 4-48 hours. If you’re renting one of their boats then you need a vessel license. If you don’t have a vessel licenses then you can take the test at the marina. At the Creem Shop (they sell ice cream, burgers, etc) you can rent pedal boats and canoes. They have a zip line and tree line adventure course, mini-golf, a beach area for swimming, and plenty of fishing spots. They also offer church services on Sunday morning. Check in is at 4 pm and check out is at 2 pm. Spots are close together but I’ve seen worse. Campground is clean and wasn’t noisy. We will definitely be coming back for a longer stay in the future.

Great place to go camping!

We stayed this past weekend. Luckily, we chose the E (more quiet) area because we didn’t want to stay for more than 3 days. Explored all over and saw how crowded c and b were. There are a few less crowded spots on the water but for the most part it’s very close. Good if you want your kids to play with others on the playgrounds. But not good if you want peace and quiet. 

Great for young families 

We love this campground.  It’s clean and the staff is friendly.  We go at least twice a year.

Great outdoor experience

Very large campground. Beatiful views, swimming area, fishing, boat launch, fun for kids. Overall a very good campground and will return with more of my family. My daughters ages 4 and 6 had a great time. 


Great Views

First time to visit this park. Lots of playgrounds and activities for the kids. Loved the archery range as well. Will definitely be back soon. 

Great trip at a great park  

We broke up a trip from Florida to Tennessee with a stop at Wind Creek.  Very large campground with lots of amenities including Sewer hook ups.  They could use better signage directions.  We would go back.

Beautiful lake

Tent camping with family during Hurricane evacuation. Beautiful park, numerous bath houses, laundry, camp store, playgrounds, mini golf, and so much more. Secluded campground with RV and tent sites right on Lake Martin. 

Beauty on the Lake

Very clean campground. Stroller friendly for the most part - we took many walks around! The marina store has tons of useful items that you could forget to bring along with alcohol. The waterfront view was gorgeous! We will be visiting again soon!

Loved the view!

Everything is perfect.  Clean campsites with power and water and fire rings, near by bait store that sells a lot more than just bait. The park rangers and staff are here help and friendly.  Restrooms and showers are spotless. The views are amazing. 

Fantastic

We love this campground! Archery, fishing, playgrounds, hiking and so much fun!
