The only thing available was camping, yerts & $300 a night bunkhouses.
I called the Hilton over in Oak Ridge (10 minutes away) & got the Windrock discount of $91 a night for 2 queen beds.

I wish. I'm hoping to be done by then, but not sure ill be ready for windrock.
The size of windrock (and Harlan/rausch) is part of the reason I'm switching to gas and hopefully a more efficient engine.

Anyone that’s planning on this ride have a good knowledge of the trails? I’m going to have the wife and kids with me and they don’t like getting too crazy. I want to be able to hit some moderate trails and assuming it’s dry some good rocks but not anything like Waldens Ridge or whatever that gets sketchy/off-camber. Looks like so far we have a few 35-37” rigs and a few 40”+ so that should work out well.

I spent two days there last time I went and only hit 4 trails. There are a few that I think you’ll like if your family wheeling. Challenging enough to make it fun for you, but won’t scare the wife.

RIDE PLANS :
SATURDAY:
- 9:00am (Local time) riders meeting at Windrock General Store. We will break into groups of like wheeling capabilities and head out to hit the rocks.
I assume this will be the same for Friday morning as well.
We will be easy to find, some of us have a GATR stickers on our rigs.
As for radio, most of us have switched over to the GMRS type radio (Rugged or BAOFENG) and some of us also still run a CB.

I’ll be there Thursday night (Doubletree hotel) and hit the trails first thing Friday. Planning to be at the general store or campground office (not sure what’s what) when they open at 8am to see if I can unload all our non-wheeling stuff at the cabin before heading to the trails.Go to the campground for cabin check-in. The campground entrance is on the right of the main Windrock road as you head in. I think you can get permits at the campground check-in.

Same here, going no matter what. Our granddaughter has already told all of her little friends that she's going wheeling with her mawmo and papa, so, we cannot let her down lol.
Love it
I can't spell it to where it has that southern GA accent. When they say it it sounds more like mowmow. Mow as in mowing the grass........

How late in the evening does everyone ride? I may try to come up earlier on Friday just to get some more ride time.That will depend on the group you are in.
Some like to wheel later into the evening. Some like to come back to camp for dinner and then do a night ride. Some won’t wheel at night at all.
That will all just depend on the folks out there on this ride.

CAUTION: use a current map!There’s an app for the park, $10 for a week, $20 for the year. Updated a month ago.
We wasted hours trying to go to a trail that was marked as a "Jeep" trail on a previous map, but for that year had been changed to an ATV only trail. Very frustrating.

Campfire at primitive site #10Just a PSA...I believe any firewood has to be bought up there, I saw something about that on the website (purchased within 30 miles) and I know I’ve been camping up in Tennessee and the state park had a similar regulation. Something to do with keeping invasive pests out I think. I was planning to offer up our fire ring at the cabin (Oak View, off the main entrance road) to the group as well. Either way.

Cost is per passenger, and last time I was up there my friend had to pay full price for his passenger wife, no discounted rate. Go wheeling monthly with a family of 4, and I'm sure it adds up to a lot for most wheelers

Windrock rates make almost every other park practically free!!
The firewood rule is to keep evasive bugs from killing trees.

I am not on this trip primarily because they wouldn't let me have a generator at a primitive camp or cabin.

Well first time on the trailer for my JKU
Very tight between the fenders with those wide ass wheels.
once you go trailer queen , you'll not want to drive her to our rides again. Plus, you can
I'm jealous of the real trailer. I'vecrented enough uhaul auto transports to have bought my own aluminum auto transport by now [no2]
y'all have fun and safe time
