Dinkey Creek

usually love donkey creek, but this time it was such a horrible experience. when we got there someone was in our campsite and had to ask them to move. Then our camp neighbors walked up to our camp site at 6am insisting we give them coffee because we kept them up all night??? we were all asleep by 10. Then on our last night a couple campsites were being super loud and screaming laughing, and the camp manager came down to yell at me and tell me people complained about saying we were keeping everyone up. When we didn’t, we had young children with us for 1 year olds to 5 year olds so we were all asleep by 9 and we told him what campsite was making all the noise and he was so rude and just being obnoxious, and was telling us he could cute us for that and told him to prove that it was us being loud and who complained because it was false and he couldn’t prove it was us. overall a terrible experience. on top of that the rangers were always passing by telling us we were going to get cited if we had an trash in the floor and we didn’t. DONT GO also there are so many wasps that are there literally probably about 100 wasps just around us and two of our family members got stung!!!!! so bad

Beautiful 3 days in Dinkey Creek! The grounds and toilets were immaculate.. which was surprising since I arrived the day after the Labor Day holiday. Check in was easy. Friendly reception at the booth.

A must see is the redwood trees just up the road across the bridge from Dinkey Creek road.

I thought that the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Especially the guys who were cleaning the restrooms. They gave us free wasp traps because there was wasps everywhere. They also were very knowledgeable about the campground and surrounding areas.

We are regulars at Dinkey. The group site is unique and lovely, and there are many things to do at and around the campground. Some things for improvement: 1. It would be fantastic if the group site could get flush toilets; there are already a few throughout the campground, and it would make the added expense of the group site more worthwhile.
2. The convenience and comfort of the campground is provided in large part by the privately run store. I don't know what the official relationship is between the camp and the store, but the shower services are beginning to fall apart. I believe only half of the showers were functioning and there are simple things like hooks for clothing that are not in the stalls. I'm not sure what can be done, but we found that cleaning up was more difficult this year, and that adds to the inconvenience/discomfort level of one's stay.

I reserved site 47 and 46. I read before site 47 was one of the best, but I found site 46 to be great. There's enough room for 6 tents. Each of my kids like their own. Lol also next time I plan on reserving 45 and 46. They are much closer together and would be great! Only bad issue is the people across were summer loud at midnight.
