Beautiful area, campgrounds are very well maintained, and the staff is always so friendly. Dinkey creek is just a short hike down from most campsites.

My family and I had an amazing time and the staff are very friendly and helpful with anything you need. I really love that there is no service on our phone it help disconnect from reality and the kids are not locked in on a screen.

Clean camp sites, clean restrooms and super friendly staff. The general store was a plus and food was great! My kids also got some coloring items to keep busy. We did a little hiking near the entrance on the creek with a little beach my small kids could play in. We will be back!

Restrooms were close by, quiet neighbors, and I know there is no reception, but was able to send message via satellite. Will definitely come back again.

We just returned from a 3 night camping weekend. Stayed in site 54 and we were very pleased with our first time experience. Restrooms were cleaned a few times a day. All the camp host’s and other staff members were very nice and welcoming, always around the campgrounds cleaning up and keeping the place looking great. We explored honeymoon pool, the hike up to the old sawmill, the slicks and did some river fishing. We had a great time and can’t wait to be back. The Dinkey Creek General Store is at the main entrance of the campground. They had a good selection of camping necessities.

This is a great little campground. The campsites are spaced out just enough that you don't feel like you're right on top of each other. The creek was beautiful and cool. The kids had a blast playing in the water and around the campground. I loved that there is a store right at the entrance of the park, they even have showers!

Great and beautiful camp ground, but facilities in need of repair. Fire pit was damaged, grill part not functional as it look like a tree branch had damaged it. And bathroom in a state of disrepair. As some toilets were clogged and sinks not functional. Other then that it was great experience and wouldn’t mind coming again.
