Defeated Creek Park

Huge campground situated on Cordell Hull lake. Many good lakefront sites and many more with full hookups. It is a bit of a drive to Carthage for supplies or dining out. Wildlife viewing is excellent. Campground hosts are some of the friendliest I have encountered.

This place is a good place to go even if it is a bit out of the way from grocery stores and such. That's its biggest drawback. The last time I went, the bathrooms were clean but it's been a couple of years since I've seen them. The area is well kept as are most Corps of Engineers campgrounds. Also this is a very large Campground so there are a lot of campsites. It's fairly flat and good for bike riding. You have to get reservations well ahead of time. Unless of course you use something like campnab!
