Absolutely loved our site. The only downfall was the skunk encounters. No one got sprayed but we couldn’t go outside at night because they came around our site each night and I didn’t want to take the chance

First time visitors to Defeated Creek Campground. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this campground. The campground had a really nice family-friendly vibe throughout our entire long weekend stay. Several campsites were waterfront and most had water views. Upon walking the entire campground, there are really no bad campsites in the entire park. We stayed in Site #15. We did have some minor issues regarding low-hanging tree limbs hitting the top of our fifth-wheel but we were able to climb on top of the camper to break-off some of the branches. We did report this to the check-in station but no one came to our site to address this issue.

Always enjoy Defeated Creek. Been camping there for over 20 years. They do need to get the skunk issue under control. If a rabid skunk ever comes in contact with a human or pet that could have very serious consequences.

We love it here, but the internet service is terrible, esp. for this day and age.

We have been going to Defeated Creek park for over 20 years. It is a great RV park. It is well kept and the views from almost anywhere will impress you for sunsets. Hosts are very friendly. You can't go wrong if you reserve a spot.

Only stayed overnight as a stop during our travel. Have camped at numerous private as well as state, federal and COE parks. I must say Defeated Creek was the best rv park for rv’s of any type I have visited. In addition it was the best maintained in every respect. Staff was also excellent. Plan to return for a week long stay as soon as possible.
