Restrooms are really clean. The lady at the booth was very nice and gave us information about the area. One of the nicest campgrounds i've been to. However many of the trees are chopped down meaning there is not as much shade and a lack of privacy. Other than that I have no complaints.

Staff cleaned the bathrooms thoroughly 6 times a day. Unfortunately, they didn’t keep up with the campsites, enforce quiet hours, prevent campers from using chainsaws on downed wood or know where there was a dump site for RV’s on the mountain! (Camp Edison has a dump site $30)
More than half the trees are down and shade is at a premium, be sure to bring your own.
If you’re going, be ready for a party crowd, loud music from multiple sites day and night. Non potable water, so fill before you get there. Oh, and the map online doesn’t match loop E!

We loved Dinkey Creek! It was our first time camping there. There are some downfalls. Very tight roadways between the campsites. This campground is geared for tent campers and not rvs, trailers, or 5th wheels, unless they are small. There is no dumpstation, either. Otherwise we loved the campground. Large sites, all the free firewood you could need, clean bathrooms.

This campsite is close to the bathroom but many, many trees have been cut down (due to the trees being dead) so there is little shade there. There is a lot of space between campsites but not that much privacy due to the few trees.

The bathrooms are very clean and the site was great. the only problem is a lot of trees are being cut down and there’s not much shade left in many spots

The staff was really friendly and the bathrooms clean. Overall, other campers were friendly too. While we were there, the status of the water was unclear in terms of whether it was potable, so that meant we suddenly had to boil our water or buy it. I hope that becomes clear soon (staff said they were one final test away from approving it for potability). It was also sad to see so many trees cut down. Hope the forest recovers soon.
