One of our favorite sites. Shower house needs updating tho when compared to Cedar Creek just about an hour away.

We have camped at Defeated a creek for years. Clean plenty of wildlife to be seen. Play grounds around the whole park. Fishing, boating and even tubing is great. Kayaking as well. All around one of better parks around that we like to go to every year.

Your park is out of control. The local's have taken over your park. They know how to play the system, so they can spend the summer in your park. My little dog was attacked twice by dogs not on a leash. Very young kids running loose in the roads. To fix this problem you need to use licence plates on camper's instead of people names to rent a site. The local 's rent under, the wife name/sister/daughter etc: to spend the summer.This park needs change, as so do others under the COA.

We camp at Defeated Creek a lot (my very favorite). We were on site 35, and it was so beautiful. There was always a cool breeze blowing, and plenty of shade too. We enjoyed the lake and feeding the fish at the marina. The only downside was that the internet at our site was "iffy", but that was okay. We LOVE Defeated Creek.
