Mark and Sharon, Camp Hosts, were magnificent. They went out of their way to help us with a lock issue. In addition, we have never seen such clean bathrooms. We have been camping for 30+ years and all over the US.

This is our annual destination for summer camping. We have our favorite spot that is located just above a great swimming hole. This year the creak was till a raging river due to the increase snow and rainfall so we were unable to swim in our usual spot. We still did a little hiking and found a few spots to get our feet wet. When we drove into our camp there was a camper loudly blaring music. This is not cool in my book. The bathroom cleaning crew went up to the camper and asked them to turn the volume down. No more loud music. I do like an area that is tent only and wish Dinkey had whole loops that were tent only. Not happy when these Great Big rigs drive in late at night and set up camp, making a lot of noise. Other than that. We had a great time this year.

We had a wonderful time during the 4th of July 2023 holiday. We camped for 3 nights and we loved it. The staff was friendly, the common restrooms were always clean, smelled good loaded with toilet paper. Our B 003 camp was clean when we got it and we made sure to clean when we left. All the other guests was very respectful and quiet. Every water resort had close restrooms, easy access and clean. The grocery near the park entrance has everything you miss (including Ice).
We love Dinkey Creek. Thank you!
