Beautiful 3 days in Dinkey Creek! The grounds and toilets were immaculate.. which was surprising since I arrived the day after the Labor Day holiday. Check in was easy. Friendly reception at the booth.

A must see is the redwood trees just up the road across the bridge from Dinkey Creek road.

I thought that the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Especially the guys who were cleaning the restrooms. They gave us free wasp traps because there was wasps everywhere. They also were very knowledgeable about the campground and surrounding areas.

We are regulars at Dinkey. The group site is unique and lovely, and there are many things to do at and around the campground. Some things for improvement: 1. It would be fantastic if the group site could get flush toilets; there are already a few throughout the campground, and it would make the added expense of the group site more worthwhile.
2. The convenience and comfort of the campground is provided in large part by the privately run store. I don't know what the official relationship is between the camp and the store, but the shower services are beginning to fall apart. I believe only half of the showers were functioning and there are simple things like hooks for clothing that are not in the stalls. I'm not sure what can be done, but we found that cleaning up was more difficult this year, and that adds to the inconvenience/discomfort level of one's stay.

I reserved site 47 and 46. I read before site 47 was one of the best, but I found site 46 to be great. There's enough room for 6 tents. Each of my kids like their own. Lol also next time I plan on reserving 45 and 46. They are much closer together and would be great! Only bad issue is the people across were summer loud at midnight.

This site was spacious and close to bathrooms and water. Staff was friendly and the general store was walking distance. Loved our stay and coming back to enjoy the water with our kids.

The place and environment were amazing! There is a nearby restroom, the campsites are clean, restrooms are clean, there is a creek nearby to swim, a few fishing spots, and hiking trails.
There is no connection up there what so ever, I have Verizon. It is nice and quiet. Me and my family, will visit again in the future!

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.
