My husband and I feel that in central Tennessee this park is by far the best! The park hosts are great they do a great job managing the camping areas. The shower houses and restrooms are very clean and surrounding green spaces are well manicured! Love the deer also!! We stay here as much as we can.

Beautiful campground, we always enjoy our stay at Defeated Creek. You will see deer walking through the campground. We have stayed there several times, camp site to fit any camper or tent.

The spot we had was very beautiful. You can tell they need to do some repairs and overhaul the bathrooms. The bathrooms ended up over flowing while we were there. They turned the water off to them all or at least the ones on our end.

We had site 120 June 6-11. Defeated Creek is a very nice campground, friendly staff, the shower/bathrooms clean, in good condition, our T-Mobil service was best of the mornings; most of the time poor service. We enjoyed our trip and will continue camping there.
