Indian Creek Recreation Area

Yes we were able to get a 1 night reservation via phone call. No we did not get senior discount. We were first placed in site 135 without trees on a slopped concrete pad at 90+ degree temps. With a call to the office, Barbara worked with us and found site 13 on water, level, and shaded. She also adjusted our bill. The a/c can actually cool our class B! Will have to remember this if we come here again. Concrete pads. Playground in center shaded for kids in our final location. The loop of 135 is brand new and devoid of trees.

We stayed here during TX spring break to get away from the crowds. Our son brought his Class C and we were able to get two sites next to each other, which was nice. The sites were a little closer than I expected based on other reviews, but still ok. The lake was down 5-8ft. I heard that had drained it to limit some grass growth. No luck fishing from the dock. There was a playground nearby for the kids which was nice. I would say my biggest complaint was that I could only find one area near the boat launch that had dumpsters, which was a little less than 1/2 mile from our site. It would be better to have a dumpster on every loop. The other odd thing was a lot of folks brought golf carts and would ride the loops, some with party lights and playing music. It didn't happen late at night, so no problem sleeping. I saw lots of folks parked on the grass / off the road or gravel areas, so it was clear that rules weren't enforced.

We stayed over the 2021 Christmas Holiday and the weather was unseasonably warm which prompted the last minute decision to visit this park. It is very nice and we stayed in a brand new Full Hookup site on Dogwood Road. There were restrooms / showers across the street. That facility wasn't brand new but clean enough for our use.

The lake was nearly drained to get rid of invasive grass growth.

However, we will definitely go back.

The park is large with several loops that border or are close to the lake. The roads are a bit tight but not that hard to maneuver. Many of the sites are short and hard to level on but the sites are wooded and a good distance apart. We were just overnighting so we didn't use any of the park facilities but there was a lot to do here and lots of families and fishing.

Stopped overnight on our drive through Louisiana. What a great park!! Beautiful pine trees and views of the lake. Since we were only staying 1 night, we chose a regular site, but the pull thrus and premiums had nice views of the lake (but super expensive!!!). Laundry facilities on site along with several playgrounds for the kids. Be mindful if you are coming from Texas- google maps took us down a gravel road to get to the park when going a few more exits and taking the paved road would have been much better! All in all a little hidden gem and worth your stay!

We love to camp here. We are able to fish, hike the trails, bike ride or go to one of the beaches. We camp on week days due to weekends are busy. When we arrived yesterday, the site we booked on line was #91 right on the lake, but due to the big drop off the office gave us a list of sites to pick from. When we found the site we wanted we called the office and gave them the site number.

I made our reservation online and it is so hard to really tell anything from the pictures they give you. What I saw online looked like the perfect campsite for cheap money so I booked it.

When we arrived at site 57 I saw immediately that although it was at a beautiful spot in the park and had a great view, it was also very unlevel. We wanted to make it work and so I tried leveling out our rig to see if it was possible, but regardless of what I did, I could only get to level by putting the wheels on one side of the RV off the ground.

Since this wasn't working I returned to the park station and asked if I could move. They were very accommodating and gave me a list of possible sites that I could switch to. But sadly almost all of them were either too short or were also pitched pretty badly on one end or the other. Finally, I found one site that fit our big rig and it was so level that I didn't even have to put down my jacks to level the RV if I didn't want to. That site was #64.

I also have to say that if you have a big rig you will want to be very careful here as the roads are windy and narrow. You can do it, but just be very careful and take it slow.

On the plus side, the creek and the reservoir are fabulous and many great views can be had of the water. The hilly terrain makes for beautiful views but it also causes challenges with getting to the sites and getting your rig level in many cases.

The bathrooms were just ok although clean. Nothing fancy here. The laundromat was just fine and did a great job for us on our clothes. There is also a nice boat ramp in the park for those inclined to go fishing.

Alexandria is about a half hour away and has almost anything you could need to buy including a well-stocked large Krogers grocery store.

We had fine internet by using AT&T and boosting our hotspot.

All-in-all, the park is pretty and rustic. It also shows some signs of aging as some others have mentioned. But if you have a small to medium size rig, it's a great value for your camping dollar. If you have a big rig, it's still doable, just be careful about site selection and navigating the camping area roads.
