Dinkey Creek offers a beautiful natural setting with excellent hiking opportunities and friendly camp hosts who provide helpful service. The campground is well-maintained, and many visitors appreciate the spacious campsites and clean facilities. However, issues such as the lack of functioning flush toilets and potable water have caused some inconveniences, alongside noise from generators and nearby campers.

The campsite that I reserved should have NEVER been approved for a trailer. It was a very uneven and incredibly steep lot. Was a nightmare to set-up the trailer and despite hours, manpower, and additional equipment we still had very uneven ground. Made for poor sleep and difficult maneuvering inside the trailer. As I scanned other sites within the camp I quickly noticed I was one of very few that didn't have nice flat or relatively flat campsites...All very upsetting. I wish I was warned of the poor conditions before making the reservation. We even ended up leaving early due to the poor experience. A total waste of time and money.

Nice and clean campgrounds and clean restrooms. Camp personal do a great job getting campers quite at night time.

We have always been coming every year. Every year we have a great and wonderful time. This year staff was not as friendly as other years. Even the people from the store was not friendly. But over all the place is still one of our favorites. The camping area is always clean along with the restrooms.

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.
