The campsite was beautiful with an incredible view of the mountains and the sound of the creek below.
We explored the creek and found gorgeous pools of water to swim in and even went behind a waterfall.

The campground was spotless! The bathrooms were maintained and cleaned several times a day. The staff were super friendly. This was our first trip to Dinkey Creek and certainly not our last!

one of the best places I have been camping. Great place to take the family. My husband and my kids had a great time. The water was cold to be July but most of us still got in. We camp with tents to get all the camping experience. The stars at night were so beautiful. The camp site came with a table and a grill which was great, less things to pack. I would recommend taking bikes. We stay 3 nights but next time I am definitely booking of 5 nights. Also, there is no phone signal there at all making it very peaceful to disconnect from technology.

My favorite campground, my family and I come every year. We love being disconnected from cell service/internet and really getting time to enjoy together. We love being able to walk down to the creek every day to swim and fish, and the kids love the slicks and rock slides, we have a hard time trying to get them to come back to camp! The trees and fresh air are beautiful and refreshing, the sites are spaced out enough to give yourself room from the next group of campers, bathrooms are always clean and the convenience of the general store right up front is great in case you forget anything. We look forward to our visit year after year!

This campground is absolutely beautiful! The tent sites were beautiful with flushing toilets and showers. Lots to do at this campground with the beautiful creek nearby. The store was well stocked and the restaurant was nice if you didn’t feel like cooking. We also visited the nearby McKinley grove of sequoias and it was such a beautiful experience!

We stayed here for one night before our backpacking trip. It’s a big campground that was crowded and was a little noisy late at night during 4th of July weekend. So I understand people wanted to party. The bathrooms were clean.

The campsite was clean and accessible. The campground was not crowded. The bathrooms were cleaned and stocked. The camp hostess, Tammy, was welcoming and helpful with information about local events. The creek is nearby and accessible. There are many things to see and do within a short walk or drive. Recommend the pine logging town just up the hill.
