The campground was not shaded as described. You are literally right next to the next campsite. The roads within the campground are poorly maintained. Wouldn't stay there again.

My family and I have been camping here for the past 17years and we have never had any problems until this year, many times we would say good morning to the staff and they would ignore us and drive past us, at 9:55pm staff pulled up to our site and told us it was quite time keep in mind it was 9:55pm and at check in I was told quite time was from 10:00pm-8:00am I don’t understand why we were told we had to be quite when it wasn’t time yet and we were not being loud whatsoever. We were glad that we did not have any bear encounter unlike last year.

Absolutely loved it. Sites were clean and bathrooms were cleaned everyday and well stocked. Staff was friendly. The kids loved the rock slides and hike to the old saw mill. The honeymoon pool was refreshing and smelled great with the surrounding honeysuckle bushes. Most definitely coming back again next year.

Where to start? Got the absolute worst site, unpaved, blocked by rocks, on a super steep slant. Rocks were used to level the picnic table. Every single other campsite, which cost the same amount, was paved and clean. It also claimed on the website that it was paved, so I don't know why we got some ghetto dirt lot. Then, the camp hosts were awful. Insisted we park IN the road, which is ridiculous when everyone else got a paved spot in their camp area. The older gentleman who was our camp host was on an absolute power trip. He stopped several times to berate us for silly things, he just couldn't stop himself from trying to get some imagined upper hand. He was awful to the other campers as well, I felt bad for all our neighbors. On top of that they were unhelpful and our campsite was not clean when we checked in. Beware loop F. Absolute nightmare of a camping experience, would NEVER stay here again. However the day use is wonderful and the creek is so fun, so its worth the 10 dollar entrance fee to play for the day. And we also camped at Huntington which was an amazing experience, and we had the best camp hosts there, so kind and lovely. The hosts at Dinkey could learn something from other hosts about common courtesy and human decency!

We had an excellent time during our stay at Dinkey Creek. The staff at the store was very helpful, pleasant, and funny. The restrooms were clean and convenient. The location of Dinkey Creek provided access to several lakes, plenty of areas along the creek, and the McKinley Grove sequoias. We look forward to a return trip!
