My site was wide open, few trees and lots of sun. Not thrilled with the site, but overall the campground was good. The swimming holes are epic.

Such a great camping experience. The campground spaces have a good distance between them, the area is absolutely beautiful! The employee at the little office was also very helpful.My only disappointment is some small trash the previous party left behind but other than that it was great!

We come to Dinkey every year for a family reunion camping trip and every time we come we enjoy it to the fullest! Looking forward to our next trip already and always hate to leave...it's a little bit of heaven on earth.

We have been going to Dinky Creek all most every year for the past 40. Always a great time for all four generations of us up there. However, this last trip had a few disappointing issues like the replacement of flushing toilets and running water in the rest rooms either hole in the ground toilets and no running water. Also the roads are in very bad shape too. Obviously, very little money is being used to keep it up.

Group campsite is a very unique site to camp with a large group. Dinkey Creek is a beautiful place with so many fun things to do. The site was not as prepared as I would have anticipated though. The fire pits were not cleaned out so several pits were filled with dirt, leaves and ashes. The tables were also randomly placed and not out back in place so it was difficult to determine where people would park and setup tents.

This campground is a gem! Love the location and proximity to, creeks, The Slicks, & Honeymoon Pool. The only thing that could have made it better would have been if both bathroom stalls were working near our site or if bear lockers/food storage bins were available at sites. No cell reception, BTW, so be prepared to disconnect.

Dinkey Creek is special. We really enjoyed the grounds, the host was nice, the bathrooms clean, and the watering holes are a plus. Site 15 is surrounded by a bunch of double sites so you get really loud rude families coming in which don't follow the quiet hour rules. Aside from them, it's a great campground. There's some nice fishing spots. Site 15 has no one behind them except a huge open field which is nice. There is no shade during the day so plan accordingly. And if you plan to bring a hammock, there aren't good trees at this site to do so.

Very difficult to back in trailer due to narrow camp ground road and logs directly across site. Roads in disrepair with huge potholes and sections just missing.
