My family and I visit Dinkey every year, we love it! The new camp host and staff were extremely nice and friendly. They checked on the bathroom multiple times a day and always had a positive attitude.

We had a very nice time. Our camp hosts were were so very helpful with some campers near us that did not follow curfew rules. It’s a tough job and we were very thankful they were there to help.
Bathrooms were always spotless clean which was nice too.
I love Dinkey Creek. Been going there since I was a kid and have brought that love to my grandchildren. I have been going to Dinkey Creek for 60 years now.

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