Indian Creek Recreation Area; a Great Winter Campground

Last Monday we arrived here just south of Alexandria in central Louisiana. We have a paved site with full services.

For the weekdays there were just 7 sites occupied of the 17 on our loop. We had this nice view of the Indian Creek reservoir out our window. This is sunrise.

There are plenty of places to walk here and the weather has been great, so Matey and I have been doing a lot of walking. This is a screen grab from my phone, Bud had just dropped Matey and I at the little blue dot. He then drove back to our trailer at the little red dot (I think ours is a new loop and doesn’t show on the map).

Matey and I then walked back, wandering down the side roads for yet another view of the beautiful vista of water and trees.

I have the stroller and when Matey gets tired he gets to ride.

The forest service roads are fine for the stroller.

One afternoon I cut back along a section of the nature trail. It was a little bumpy for Matey, but doable.

There is plenty of walking just around the campground loops. Matey and I still walk about 2 miles a day. If I put him in the stroller and walk all the campground loops it’s about 3 miles.

There are three beaches here, this is the largest as seen from across the reservoir.

This is the smaller beach, just past our loop

There’s also a campers beach,

and a playground. But in the winter all these are blessedly empty,

and we get to enjoy the peacefulness of this place.

Cold nights, warm days, blue skies and colorful trees; perfect!
