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.

This is not our first time camping here and it was nice as always. However, the grass was not mowed and several of the restrooms were out of service. I think those were fixed during our stay. We really enjoy riding our bikes around the campground and use the boat ramp for our boat.

Very nice park, plenty of space between camp sites. Reasonable priced. The only improvements I would recommend is a better internet service.

We like this campground for its location and cleanliness. Well kept sites most of which offer plenty of shade this time of year. A great place to camp.
