DOGS People need to take care of them, barking, crapping and leaving it behind. I hate having to watch where I walk to make sure I don't step in it!!! Kids walking their parents dogs and letting them urinate on other campers deceration's I personally watched this happen! This isn't the first time I have complained about DOGS and it don't get any better! I known people love their pets but if they can't take care of them they need to leave them HOME!

Love this campground! Clean shower/restrooms and nice green spaces between camp spots. Only thing the park may consider is upgrading the WiFi as cell connectivity is minimal. Possibly putting WiFi on all the shower houses would help!

Defeated is our favorite place to camp! When we camp at other parks we are always comparing them to Defeated and how Defeated is so much better!
