Water is low in August, but still plenty of spots to swim and play. Fishing not great at that point. Still, a beautiful place!

The bathrooms near our campsite were disgusting, they said there were being cleaned but they looked exactly the same until they were locked

We love Dinkey Creek and come every year with extended family. My dad has been coming since 1938 - diving into the creek until 92. So many amazing memories!!

We had an excellent time during our stay at Dinkey Creek. The staff at the store was very helpful, pleasant, and funny. The restrooms were clean and convenient. The location of Dinkey Creek provided access to several lakes, plenty of areas along the creek, and the McKinley Grove sequoias. We look forward to a return trip!
