We loved this campground but had limited time there. We arrived in the afternoon and headed to play at Dinkey Creek after setting up camp. We were there for hours with our toddler and it was so fun and beautiful. After making dinner at back at camp we got rained out! We had to pack up and go home since it was coming down hard and we were in a tent, but it was still a great experience. We were in the main campground and the toilet nearby was a flush toilet. Theres a general store with tons of supplies, merchandise and food/drink. We had a super spacious site too! We can't wait to return and actually get to stay!

We have been camping at Dinkey Creek for 5 years and it never disappoints. The trees and the creek are stunning, and the campsites are clean and orderly. Thank you!

Great place to camp. Lots of space between camp sites and lots of places to explore.

The campground is nice restrooms are clean. Only issue we had was people being loud even at 3am they were screaming and yelling.

Been going here for 30 years. This year I found 5 diapers full of poop. There are huge groups of 30+ people just trashing the place.

Did a five day “lake bag” visiting 12 lakes in a leisurely manner, since the distances were short. One of the best trips I’ve done in a long time and very very beautiful. Didn’t see more than one or two other groups a day. Permits were easy to get. Highly recommend.

My favorite camp ground. Very quiet, very deep in nature, no network connection! :-)

This year camp hosts were great.! My main complaint is that we always try and get campsites by the bathroom, since we have little kids and one with special needs, we were very surprised not in the good way that the bathroom by our campsite was changed, and now they’re not flushing bathrooms, pretty gross because of the amount of people on these campsites that use them and the bathrooms not being clean that often it was pretty dirty and very smelly, me and my children did not used them and decided to walk to our closest flushing toilet it wasn’t convenient at all specially at night, it’s already hard to camp without electricity, showers, internet and now without flushing toilets, I’ve would of appreciated an email letting me know about this, we would of most likely cancel, we’re hoping you guys don’t change the last remaining flushing toilets so we don’t have to stop going here to camp we love it there .! But flushing toilets are a must and more with special needs.
