What Guests Are Saying
Defeated Creek Park is a beautiful and well-maintained campground, appreciated for its stunning views, friendly hosts, and ample outdoor activities, including biking, hiking, and water sports. Many visitors enjoyed their stay, highlighting the spacious, shaded sites and the park's family-friendly atmosphere. However, the park lacks reliable cell service and WiFi, which some guests found inconvenient, and there are occasional cleanliness issues that management is encouraged to address.

Such a nice clean park, the sites are beautiful and it is a quiet and relaxing place to be,
all the lots (but about 3) are great lots to be on. Everything is right there, no matter what you want to
do, boating, swimming, playground for the littles, volleyball course, basketball court all right there in the
park, and a pickle ball court just right out of the park, and much more. Seasonal activities also. What is not to
love here.

Great campground BUT they need to enforce the rules. Kids on battery powered scooters doing 20 mph, golf carts everywhere, people not cleaning up after their dogs. On a weekend it’s a zoo.

Have a neat little town called Granville that is touted as "Tennessee's Mayberry". Not cheesy, just fun! Short drive. Nobels Restaurant in Carthage is a great place for lunch or dinner, Get the double Smashburger!

We love defeated creek. Couple things they really need to add is better wifi and a fishing pier inside campground. Kids and adults always fishing from courtesy dock and boats unable use for loading or unloading. Thanks

Wonderful and Beautiful place! Best COE park we have ever seen! Only issues are lack of good phone service which is also our internet provider. Local Tv stations you can get don’t have news and weather. Folks working there are very nice and helpful. Do not let your gps take you over the mountain with a rig!!!
