Very nice, family oriented park with friendly attendant on duty. However, the poor to mostly 'no" cell service made my stay less than memorable.

Even though I had to move twice, the views and space between the sites was great!

We love Defeated Creek! We go here often and this was our last trip of the year! There seems to be a few things that could be kept up better like, painting of the site numbers, the site poles put in place, more gravel in some sites because some are just dirt, replacing of the fire pits because they are rusted to quiet nothing and the bathhouses need a good cleaning. But nothing a little hard work couldn't fix. Definitely doesn't keep us from coming but would love to see it improved!
