We had site 120 June 6-11. Defeated Creek is a very nice campground, friendly staff, the shower/bathrooms clean, in good condition, our T-Mobil service was best of the mornings; most of the time poor service. We enjoyed our trip and will continue camping there.

Very clean despite recent storms.
Lots of large sites with water views.
We were in site #57. Long gravel site with beautiful view of lake. This row the sites are little to close for me, but are staggered so everyone could have a view.

The reservation allowed us to list a pop up camper and a small drive camper as "allowed Equipment" only to get there , get set up, and then we were told be were NOT allowed to have both and we would have to take one home. Luckily, I only live an hour away. We took home the pop-up. The camp host was not very friendly. I will not be back to this campground.

There was no way to rinse your tanks at the dump station. All late model camper have some type of tank rinse system that hooks up with a garden hose. THERE WAS NO WAY TO HOOK UP A GARDEN HOSE AT THE DUMP STATION. The dump station station has a broken piece of pipe that is taped up because it has a leak in it. The pipe was also sharp that could cut someone. Not sure we will be back, I had to go somewhere else to rinse and dump our tanks.

Cell service is non-existent, wifi was so weak that you could never connect, picnic table was half rotted and not safe to sit on, and the fire pit was rusted so bad that the campfire could not be contained.

There was nothing bad about the campground. We didn't get to explore the grounds while there.
