Beautiful park, our first time to camp there. Abundance of wildlife viewing. Enjoyed watching the deer! Also saw a couple of skunks walking around in late evening. Stayed way clear of them 😂. Only complaint at the dump station there was no faucet connection to connect my black tank sprayer hose.

Always such a great place, view, and people- both staff & visitors. Camp host helped me upgrade to a better site- thank goodness as I had no internet. Shame in today’s times where everyone depends on their phone not available here- except the small area at bath house.

We loved it here. The deer, scenery, views and quiet were exactly what we needed. The spaces are nicely set apart from each other.

This is our favorite campground. It is beautiful. It is well maintained. Lots of wildlife to enjoy. Deer that roam and graze. Geese and ducks that make appearances for snacks, skunks traveling around scoping out the new visitors each night. Don’t be alarmed if you see them, they are just passing through. Us and our friends enjoy the nights sitting around a fire and they will waddle right up through everyone and kept going. The views are fantastic from SEVERAL of the sites. You will not be disappointed!

Lovely, peaceful place to relax and enjoy the view. No Internet or tv available unless you bring your own satellite.

Defeated Creek never disappoints. Roads into and out of the campground are easy to navigate. The campground is beautifully maintained and monitored. The staff is friendly and helpful. The sites are roomy and well situated for some semblance of privacy. The bathhouses / showers are kept clean and allow for privacy with added dressing area in front of shower stalls. They are also located conveniently to all areas of the campground. The only negative we found was the lack of cell service. It is practically nonexistent for both Verizon and T-Mobile. Deer viewing is a plus with herds wandering all around every evening. Be sure to check out the Creekview Cafe at the marina just outside the campground.
