26 C is a great site. Lots of space and privacy unlike some other sites. The restrooms were clean. Hosts were nice. One hike with no name starts from the campsite.

This is a nice campground, but the sites are not next to the creek.

We had tents & sleeping bags, 30degree rated. It was extremely cold at night. But if you stayed in your sleeping bag, you were comfortable. Site was great and there was lots of room for the kids to run around. My parents were on site 75 & I stayed on site 76. We try to get sites next to each other. Dinkey Creek Campgrounds have been our favorite grounds to visit. This was our second year attending and will probably be our to go location year after year.

Have been camping at Dinkey since 1977. I'm surprised that the steps going down to Honeymoon Pool still have not been repaired. I suppose it will take someone falling and breaking a leg before this is taken care of. With what is charged per night for camping with no hookups, it seems there would be plenty of money to fix the steps.

Another great trip to Dinkey Creek, one of our favorite places to camp. The hosts were super nice and the bathrooms were clean. The water flow in the creek was raging and nothing like we've experienced in past visits. It will probably be weeks if not months before it's safe to swim in. There is a small spot where Rock Creek hits Dinkey Creek that had calm water where kids were playing.

#64 did not disappoint. We could hear the creek running and had our own fresh spring flowing downhill. To be fair the campsite main area is mostly downhill. There's a flat and shaded spot for tent a little ways down hill with wild orchids growing everywhere. Dinkey Creek is just a 5 minute walk downhill. We tried fishing and gold panning. We saw deer. People walked through the campsite on their way to Creek. This tends to be annoying because there are paths on either side of campsite. The host did not mind that I parked on the dirt, as there is not a paved driveway, like other sites.
Our family of 3, including the doggo, is happy to have spent another Father's day here this year. I enjoyed meeting the neighboring site, family of 2. Wished I would of gotten the contact info!
