Dinkey Creek

Great spot to camp in the mountains. Staff was friendly and the facilities were clean. A great place to camp with the family.

We found that our spot (E39) was the worst camp site in the loop. There was no other access to the bathroom for the loop other than through our camp site. Also, the amount of noise and light that was present at our site was a bit ridiculous. I would recommend (1) eliminating the camp site and creating pathways to the bathroom instead. If not I would recommend (2) providing alternative routes around the site (with signage) to the bathroom.

We love this spot. We love Dinkey. The sites are much larger than Shaver, with enough room for several tents and two cars to park. And, talk about quiet; there was a camper who came in late at night and ran their generator for around 30 minutes at 10pm., but that is unusual for here. Much, Much much quieter than Shaver. The swimming holes are numerous and the people are great. People love to bring their dogs. In fact; we have decided to get a dog this year because we won't have to worry about a dog sitter the next time we go camping.

I was disappointed that there were no maps of Old Mill Trail (starting between sites 8 and 10 of the B loop) and the Overlook Trail (just north of the C loop). The ranger on duty at the kiosk had never been on the Old Mill Trail and couldn't tell us how to pick up the trail and if it was well-marked or if we should cross the creek. So, we skipped that and opted to drive to the Dinkey Mill Work Center instead. We later learned that it would have been an easy hike, and you just cross the creek. The Overlook Trail is not well-marked and difficult to pick up from the trailhead. Maps of the trails would be really helpful. Or, it would be great to put out a concerted effort for volunteers to mark the trails.

Very well-maintained, I will definitely be coming back soon.
