Absolutely beautiful campground. We had tried for a couple of years for this campsite and finally got lucky. The only issue was the beautiful grassy area…everyone else wanted to also enjoy it so we constantly had visitors biking and walking beside and behind our camper.

We try to visit Defeated Creek every year, and this year’s visit was another great experience. We had a wide range of weather from rainy to very dry and hot. Our campsite was mostly shaded, and we had a gentle breeze off the lake. The park is generally well kept. We loved our stay, and will be back.

Campground was clean and location is outstanding for a relaxing experience to get away from civilization and the rest of the world.

The on-site staff was very friendly and helpful. This campground is a great place to stay. If you want to get away from the huge campground overcrowded with campers, this is the place for you and your kids. Nice pond to fish in, a peaceful creek, and stars that appear to be on top of you.
Clean restrooms with a great shower house. This is definitely a place worth visiting. I'll be back!

The campground was very clean and well maintained. The trails we enjoyed 5 years ago were overgrown and unusable. The marina was very run down, with very little merchandise in the store. Overall, the area has deteriorated over the last 5 years.
