Only complaint is the bathrooms were closed. Outhouses were available but they were so full scary to use.

Place was clean when we got there. Easy to find spots. Camper's last names are posted on their corresponding site. Unfortunately a lot of trees were taken down and the site does not get much shade during the whole day and it's very close from other couple of neighboring sites. The restrooms are close from the site and closest one has toilets with running water. They're generally clean and well kept. There is a store at the entrance to the campsites but they close early and expect prices to be high. Be prepared for cold nights even if the temperatures during the day are high.

We love coming to Dinkey every year. I understand the restroom situation this time wasn’t ideal but the staff were really welcoming and explain to us why. I really appreciated that. Can’t wait for the next trip!

This is a very nice campground if you have small kids as there is plenty of water for the kids to soak in.
The only negative thing I could say, they had an issue with the water supply and all the toilets were closed. They did supply Porta Potties at each restroom but my wife is not too fond of those things. ( they did send me a text message a few days before our trip to inform us)
Over-all, it was a very nice clean campground!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
