    Alexander City, Alabama

    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.

      Can't beat the space!

      Love Gunter Hill! ❤️. Wide open and spacious lots here have us spoiled. Clean bathhouse and laundry plus on site boat ramp to the river make it one of our favorite places. Walking trails are great too!

      Excellent

      Amazing cg! Site Catoma 33. Back in site water behind. But cliff is too intense to go down. Gorgeous site, huge, shady, and across from restrooms. Boat ramp. Rode bikes around, but not many places to go besides cg. Friendly hosts and great place!

      Very nice campground

      Wow, this is such a pretty campground! Our site is absolutely huge! I absolutely love all of the trees!! Unfortunately, it’s still 97° out. 🤣 We are in the shade for most of the day. With a fan, it wasn’t too bad sitting outside in the shade. I am so excited to see the lightning bugs. We don’t have them in my part of FL.

      We have one bathhouse near our site (across from site 34), which appears to be older. I do love that the water is regulated and will only be on for a short amount of time. The lights have a motion sensor, which is a great idea. Unfortunately as I was getting dressed, the light turned off and wouldn’t turn back on. I had to open the door and flail around to get it to turn back on. Sorry for anyone who may have witnessed that. lol I was covered up, I promise. The water did not drain where the changing area is. The water just puddled there. We ran across the bathhouse by site 71 and that one is way better. It has AC too, which was nice in this heat. Yes, we use the showers at campgrounds. This also has washers and dryers, but both washers are broken. 😞 Our RV shower is really small and I like to actually move my arms around while showering. Please don’t criticize us for our decision.

      Our unfortunate event: while sitting outside, something smell really rancid. Unfortunately, people before us lost their dog. We walked down to look at the water and that’s when we discovered the body. 🥺 I called the front office and they were able to confirm that it was the lost dog. We were unable to sit outside most of the time because of the decay smell drifting up to our site. We hoped the ranger would have come here to pick up the body for the people, but they never showed up. Not the camp hosts responsibility at all and I’m not blaming them. I hope the owners were able to get some closure, but I can’t imagine how they feel.

      Amazing

      This cg is amazing! We were in Catoma Loop. Huge sites, water in back, 50 amp, FHU. Restroom good condition and directly across from us. Very well maintained and friendly hosts. Very quiet. Plenty of walking, and biking. Has a boat launch. Definitely stay here again.

      The place is big

      But also poorly signed and the front desk is pretty unhelpful. She asked if I had been here before and I said no and yet she never explained there was a code to get in. Frustrating at best. It is a huge campground, can't imagine the number of people in the summer. Seems I drove past some wilderness areas and hikes on the way in. We won't get to explore them on this visit.

      Quite new and very quiet

      So far there’s nothing here I don’t like! From what I’ve been told, this RV destination has seen significant improvements overs the last 2 years and they are still working on things. Right now there’s about 30-40 spots, spaced out well, and lots of trails! There’s a small lake but it’s only for fishing. Can’t paddle board or canoe here. Dirt bikes and Atv’s have lots of trails to ride! They have a dirt track for dirt bikes or even RC cars which we used the other day. Very clean bathrooms with full showers. Brand new docks to fish from! They’re putting in a sports area but isn’t done yet. Overall, this campground is very nice and for day use really fun if you have dirt bikes or an ATV.

      Fantastic

      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.

      Loved the view!

      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!

      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.

      Dirt Bike and ATV trails

      Minooka is a really fun place. They just added several tv hookups and have an almost new bath house with large showers. The playground is also small but nice. Lots of trails to hit on the dirt bikes or ATVs. We go for day riding trips once a month or so.

      Beautiful lake

      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 Friendly Park

      We arrived and were welcomed by the owner who was very helpful and incredibly friendly. She directed us to our beautiful site right on the river

      So quiet and secluded it felt like we had the whole site to our selves.

      Fun park for the kids to play on.

      Beautiful Alabama lake

      Stayed at Wind creek and the atmosphere was wonderful. Lots of fun trails to hike. Located right on beautiful lake Martin there's plenty of great fishing. Even has a pier to fish from. There's a great ice cream and place to get burgers by the pier too. They even have a zip line. Loved it here. Very convenient to Alexander city as well, that has a quaint downtown and a Walmart if you forgot anything. Highly recommend!

      Summer in December

      Camped here to ring out the old and ring in 2022 with a group of Sisters. The staff was professional and quick at check in, even inquired if I was aware of the forecasted incoming weather during my stay and explained emergency procedures. HUGE campground. All the sites are nice sized, though an update is needed on pavement, pads and amenities. They keep what they have well maintained. Tree top, mini golf and archery activities are present. Of course you are on the at one time largest man made lake so all those water activities. There are nice trails that are adequately marked. Once again updates would be nice. There is an Equine campground and a contractor for trail rides nearby if you don’t have your own horse. The area offers many small towns with antiquing and interesting local businesses/restaurants. Worth a visit for a weekend or week of your summer if you can get a reservation.

      Got a premium site on lake. Beautiful area, we didn’t see a spot that didn’t look nice. There’s supposed to be WiFi, but we couldn’t connect. Verizon worked great though, we were able to work, online school, etc.

      Wind Creek State Park

      Great camp grounds with plenty of things to do to keep everyone entertained. I gave it 4 stars only because you have to stay here for a week to get premium sites with 50 amp service. But this area is very clean and has very spacious camp sites. We were in section E. This area was very quite and had full hook-ups at our site. The WiFi in this section was not good at all. We used our cellphones with unlimited data to stream shows at night. Verizon cell phone service can be flaky in certain areas. We will be sure to visit this park again for a weekend get away.

      Spacious Wooded sites on the Water

      Spacious campground with mature trees. (Birders bring your binoculars).

      Sites overlooking the water are nicer, in my opinion.

      Thankful for bath house with hot showers, even though they were showing their age.
