Dinkey Creek is an annual outing for me and my grandchildren. The setting is lovely. The campsites are convenient and user friendly. The amenities (bathrooms, water, garbage disposal) are nearby and work. There are lots of activities in and about the area including the Pine Logging Camp Restoration Project, the giant redwoods of McKinley Grove, the WPA bridge, horseback riding, fishing, and, of course, swimming in Dinkey Creek. You can't go wrong here if you want a simple, pull in and camp experience.

We had a great camp site where we could walk to the creek. There isn’t any cellular service so just prepare for that aspect.

We were told that we had to keep the music down and that it could only be heard within our campfire. And this was in the daytime and I thought quite time started at 10 pm. My group is considering maybe go camping somewhere else.

The sites in our loop were spacious and private. The campground hosts did a fine job. Dinkey Creek is a great place to visit.

Dinkey Creek is our family’s go to place where we all get sites next to each other and enjoy the creek below, campfire’s, hikes and each other’s company. Creek was lower than usual but still had a great time!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
