The Dinkey Creek Campground was very nice and clean. The bathrooms were clean. Only 3 showers were available so the lines and the wait to shower were very long.

Good campsite and experience overall. Clean bathrooms and there are showers at the general store by the kiosk. Showers are ok, not the nicest but definitely got the job done. Only thing that we absolutely hated was the yellow jacket problem they have here. They come whenever you start cooking or have food out. I'd recommend having an insect net around where you cook and eat.

Beautiful campsite, clean bathrooms, and great spots on the creek! Great camp host - they did a great job in maintaining quiet hours. Would be great to have recycling bins.

The camp sites are spaced apart well. The bathrooms are very nice and clean with flush toilets and running water at the sink. The host's were very friendly and helpful.

Great campground. Clean bathrooms with flush toilets. Some sites shady but some very sunny. 5 min drive to the Slicks which were awesome! Not too much water at the end of August so it was perfect for our small children to safely play. Very popular anytime school is out (and a little loud) so we went mid week and it was perfect. Barely anyone there.

Great campsite, great camp ground! Wishon is beautiful! Honeymoon pool is worth a walk to. Bathrooms are nice! The male ranger was helpful and kind.

First time on site E55 and it looked just like the picture which was great! Had two little guys ages 4 and 1 and the extra space was perfect for them to run around on. Great experience as always.
