Recently my family and I camped at Wind Creek State Park where we have camped for ten years. We live in Huntsville Alabama and drive three hours simply because there is not another place like Wind Creek. The camp sites there are clean and orderly and the staff there keeps everything under control. Kids frequently ride their bikes and run freely which is safe because the officers there have no tolerance for people breaking laws. UNTIL NOW..... Last weekend my family and I went there to spend a peaceful weekend to winterize the campler and to just get away. I was surprized what I found. The campground was full of FEMA trailers which half were empty. Others were occupied by refugees. I was quickly told by a regular camper there that I should keep my doors locked at night because there are drug rings, prostitutes walking the streets and four convicted felons living there. It was very obvious that things had changed. I am thankful that we are taking care of those in need; however, why would we allow these people to destroy a State Park. There is plenty of land where we could have setup temporary campers, run water and power to them and not destroy an icon like Wind Creek. Again, I am proud of our Country for taking care of the needy....just don't understand the situation. In the interim I am looking for another place to keep my camper closer to Huntsville....maybe inside the fence at the County Jail because it is safer than Wind Creek.
