The Dinkey Creek campsite is well maintained and the nearby swimming holes are lovely. The only reason for the 3 stars is because the camp sites are huge. Basically every campsite is a group site which leads to an overall loud camping experience. Our first night there people were loud until 2am. The second night only until 11pm. I think its a great spot if you are group camping but if you are looking for true solitude you may want to stay somewhere else.

Excellent spot with a wide open space to the side and on a loop! Great shade. Quick short walk down to water. Highly recommend.

I didn’t pay attention to the size of this campground when I booked. Next time I think I would prefer to book in the smaller portion of the campground further north. We were in the largest section and while it was decently quiet on Wednesday night, Thursday night was extremely loud and chaotic until after 11 PM because of a huge group camping in a number of sites along the river. I don’t think the camp hosts cared much to enforce the rules about noise, at least not until much later after the 10 PM expectation. Lots of trees have been cut down due to the Pine beetle, but we still had a decent amount of shade coverage. Despite being on a hill, there were a couple of spots scraped flat for our large tent and a small two person tent. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The access to the river is the best thing about this campground. Numerous access points to sections of the river with beautiful swimming holes. My kids really enjoyed the slicks. We took a drive to one of the reservoirs and enjoyed stopping at McKinley Grove. Very worth the stop. Great short interpretative trail. Was sad to see the amount of logging going on around there, but this is something that’s been happening for many many years. The area is full of rich history which is worth reading about.

Wonderful camping vacation at Dinkey Creek. The staff was very helpful with our reservation and campsite hosts were great and kept everything really clean. We loved visiting the McKinley Grove while we were there. The creek is always fun.

Busy weekend but everything was well maintained. Friday night was a bit noisy some campers up late talking loudly, but other than that everything was great

Beautiful campground, weather was great. Activities were various, plenty to chose from. Bathrooms were cleaned daily, had flush toilets with electrical and hand dryers. The inn and store had nice people but the store carried limited items due to the size. The quality of the sites are varies, must bring something to level RVs. Most sites were large enough for small motorhomes and trailers but pick sites that are designated for that. I would go back to this campground

Awesome camping experience. Found a flat spot on our site for a tent. Very spacious campsite. Camp host was very nice. Flush toilets are always a plus. Very short walk to the creek. Close to the general store. Great family memories.
