Love this entire Campground!!! Its always so well kept. If you have children, you should take them over to the Defeated Creek Marina. They have an ice cream bar and they sell baggies of fish food - and there is a spot where they can feed fish... BIG FISH - kids will love it.

This is our favorite local park for a quick getaway. The park is very laid back with lots of trees and sites all along the lake shore. There are several well located bath houses which are clean but rustic as the park is older. There are lots of sites to choose from but full hookup sewer lots are limited so reservations need to be made well in advance as soon as the window opens up - especially if you want a lake side or lake view lot. There is a playground and a lake swimming area as well as a boat launch but that is all of the "activity" opportunities. We go for relaxation and walking or bike riding as there are a good amount of paved roads with lots of shade. A good park to go to for a time-out from busy lives.

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!
