This is a high in demand campground. During my stay we noticed 6 or 7 sites unoccupied during our 4 night, 5 day stay. Checked the website and the sites are showing as being reserved. The rules state if a site is not occupied by noon the following day the the reservation is voided and becomes available to the public for reservation. This is the responsibility of the host and should they should be expected to enforce the rules.

It had been 10+ years since we camped at Defeated Creek. The campground and site were very clean. Camp hosts were very friendly. All was a very pleasant stay. The only down side is that Verizon Cell service is non existent except if you walk to sit at bathhouses 1&3. Then your service will swap to Internet calling. I wish all USACE campgrounds would contract with service providers so our connections to those that need us can reach us.

Everybody raves about this campground, and it was a nice one. Hosts very friendly, contract cleaners for the bath houses did a great job, and other facilities are well maintained. Some areas have sites very close together. which might be nice if camping with a group, and other areas are more spread out- take your choice. Almost all sites are crushed limestone and in good shape. Cafe and store are a short walk away at the marina. Make a trip to Granville on Saturday night and see the Sutton Ole Time Music Hour, a live radio Bluegrass show for just $5. Dinner option available if you make a reservation.

The park was very well kept. We had the possibility of severe weather and the park attendant made sure we knew where to go for safety and that gave us peace of mind knowing we had a safe place to go if needed!
