Camp grounds host were great. Grounds are well kept. Roads inside of the camp grounds are in need of repair, so one needs to drive carefully.

Dinkey Creek is a well-maintained campground with clean restrooms and friendly hosts, making it a great destination for families and groups. Visitors enjoy the beautiful setting, access to swimming holes, and spacious campsites, though some sites can be sunny and noisy during busy weekends. Overall, the campground offers a positive experience, despite occasional issues with loud campers and maintenance concerns.

Really enjoyed the site. We had a large group with about 15 tents. There was plenty of space to sit and congregate. Multiple picnic tables and fire pits. The group site is well shaded, no additional canopies were needed. The vault toilets were very clean. The spigot for water was next to the toilets, but not in the campsite itself, so not very convenient. The creek is a 10 minute walk away. Lots of water, but very cold and mostly rocky. Night time temps were in the 40s, but day time was perfect in the low to mid 70s.

#64 worked out for us but I can see it being an issue for others. Drive way is not very big and is parellel to the main driving loop so youre somewhat forced to park more on the dirt area even though policy requires you to be on the paved path. The site is on a slope so be warned. There's 2 relatively flat areas at the top of the slope and 2 at the bottom where you can setup a tent. The fire ring is positioned really high at the top of the campground because of how the site is on a slope.
A lot of the vault restrooms were closed and had portapotties available stationed infront of it. #64 is right next to the camp host so that could be a plus or negative depending on how you view it. Now for the best part of the site which I find to make all the small negatives not matter. #64 is right on the pathway that leads you to the creek. There is a nice swimming hole thats really secluded from everyone else. We brought our fishing poles and small cooler and just relaxed there for majority of the day. 4/5 rating for this site.

Lack of potable water makes staying at Dinkey less than desirable. My family has said they do not want to stay again at any campsite that does not have potable water available.
