After a 243 mile drive along some very nice smaller roads we arrived at Wind Creek State Park, Alabama. Twice we were so high up in the mountains we were in the middle of what we thought was fog but then realized it was low cloud. Mountain roads, steep descent and minimal visibility, yup Ros was squealing again though not too loudly. Must be getting used to it!

A great site, C195 with full hook ups and a very long concrete pad. The premium sites have a similar feel to Tim's Ford we are surrounded by a lake and it is beautiful.
Lake Martin is a man-made lake with a hydro-electric dam completed in 1929 and operated by Alabama Power. The lake has over 40,000 acres of clear, deep, clean water and more than 700 miles of shoreline.

Picked up a few things at Walmart which is 6 miles outside the park then watched England play in the round of 16 in the World Cup. They won!
Later we had a nice walk around the campsite. The park is huge with parts for day users - you pay to enter the park and enjoy the lake. There are areas on the side of the lake with picnic tables and BBQ grills, can imagine these areas being very popular in the Summer with families arriving at the crack of dawn to snag the best places. There is a snack bar and ice cream hut which were unfortunately closed for the season. A pier for fishing with fish cleaning stations and a big zip lining area.
