One of the nicest campsites I stayed at. Very flat, nice parking for tv, and hooks-ups right where they needed to be. This was a not a scheduled stop for us but with the help of extremely polite and competent gate attendant, we enjoyed a very good experience.

The park is beautifully kept. It's clean, spacious and organized. We love coming here and have for the last 7 years. However this last time we were there, we were called repeatedly to inquire about when we would be out of the site (on check out day). We were also called even after we had left to see when we would be vacating. I missed the calls because we were obviously packing up and the cell service there is famously spotty so the calls just came up as voicemails. Check out time is 2pm. Please don't call your campers at 1:47pm multiple times to ask when we are leaving because the next camper is already there to take our spot. Your check IN is not until 3pm so I'm not sure why them getting into our spot an hour earlier than they should have was important. Failure to plan (getting there earlier than normal check in time) on their part does not constitute an emergency on mine. We were pulling out of the spot at exactly 2pm so please stick to your posted check in/check out times. If we were there past 2, I would have understood the phone call (maybe not multiple calls but a call none the less) but this was just a little much. We will still come back to Defeated Creek, but I hope in the future we won't be subject to calls regarding a premature departure. We paid for the site, please allow us the courtesy of getting what was paid for. Other than that our stay was as always wonderful.

This place is fantastic and the camp host is equally as amazing. I had an issue at my site on a Sunday, and the camp host made a few calls and the problem was fixed perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about this campground and it’s staff, so please book your next trip here and you won’t be disappointed!!! We will always come back!!

Numerous excellent camp sites with water views. Very peaceful. The bathrooms could use some updating.

The view of the lake from our campsite was breathtaking. The campground was well maintained and very nice. We will definitely camp there again!
