This is absolutely the best COE park we have ever been to. Perfectly mowed, manicured and maintained. Spaces were laid out so everyone gets a view. Sure want to visit again.

Site 60 was a great site. We have a 40 ft Class A and it fit in the site.

Site 147 is amazing, we loved it. There are full hook-ups, which was so nice. Lots of fire flies when we were there.

Camp host and grounds personnel were great. Facilities were extremely clean and well stocked. We stayed one extra night at site 77 the sites across from us had four large dogs that barked continuously was the only bad thing in our five days there.

We had a very nice time. There was one man in a van that seemed to be interested in the young girls in our group, but we monitored him a lot, and kept our children in groups. We realize this is the times we live in, so nothing against Defeated Creek, just wanted you to be aware. The bathrooms are the only thing that I think needs updating. The park itself is beautiful and peaceful. We will definitely be camping there again!

A family favorite as we've camped here many times over the years. We don't have a fancy RV so we rely on the bathhouses, they are hit & miss on how usable they are. Some of them are push button showers which aren't fun. There are some that are better though.
Lots of deer, bike trail, swimming, beach. Great place!
