The camp hosts were wonderful, kept the bathrooms very clean. We even had cows walk through our campsite.

The Honeymoon Pools were very nice. The water was clear and cold. The campsites are a little less private than some would like, so this should be a consideration for those looking for privacy or who are looking to leave the typical city talk behind. Some people come to party, others to enjoy the land while it is still preserved and beautiful. It is also important to consider that one bucket of water is more than likely insufficient to put the fire out. Two or three would be better. Ron and Pat are very nice people, we generally spoke with them as they were seeing to our section of the campsite. I would visit again, but I would try and choose and campsite a little further away from the loud and wild and out energy campsites.

I loved this place. Great hiking areas, amazing natural pools and great little store with deli if you forgot something! We had an RV and had to switch our site because of the inability to get the RV level. Probably half of the sites are at too steep an angle for an RV to get level. Get as much information as you can about the site before you make the reservation.

This is a well maintained and tidy campground with so much to do! The camp hosts were amazing, keeping everything clean, campsite freshly raked and so friendly and happy to answer questions. We could have spent many more days (were only here 2) exploring the creek and surrounding hikes. The slides were great for the kids, my only complaint was due to the time of year (end of August) the water level was a bit low for fishing, so we may try to go earlier next year!

It was my favorite camping so far. So many things to do. We even stayed an extra day( total 4 days and 3 nights) because it was so much fun. Hosts of the camp were so friendly and funny. Our camp was 087 and it was perfect

We had a great time. Restrooms were spotless. Campground hosts were great. A hike on a trail running up the creek at the end of the road took us to some gorgeous pools where we swam. Honeymoon Pool also offered a very refreshing swim during a hot time of the day.

This was one of the best camping experiences I've ever had, the bathrooms aren't horrifying, and the camping spaces were far enough apart that you could have some privacy and enjoy the outdoors. Our camp site was also adjacent to the river so we were able to take a 3 minute walk and settle down into the beauty of Dinkey Creek. I highly suggest this campground, I will definitely be returning!
