My family and I had an amazing time and the staff are very friendly and helpful with anything you need. I really love that there is no service on our phone it help disconnect from reality and the kids are not locked in on a screen.

Clean camp sites, clean restrooms and super friendly staff. The general store was a plus and food was great! My kids also got some coloring items to keep busy. We did a little hiking near the entrance on the creek with a little beach my small kids could play in. We will be back!

Restrooms were close by, quiet neighbors, and I know there is no reception, but was able to send message via satellite. Will definitely come back again.

Beautiful area, campgrounds are very well maintained, and the staff is always so friendly. Dinkey creek is just a short hike down from most campsites.

Site number 26 was the best campsite. The only concern was a huge tree falling 100 yards from our campsite.

Campground is Isolated enough to be away from people but not isolated enough to be alone. Bathrooms and campsites were clean. Only complaint i can say is the campsite is superclose to the road. The table was literally an arms length away. Oh, and absolutely no cell service.

Coming from a well seasoned camper:
Pros:
-great nature, campground surrounded by water, beautiful trees and weather
-campground hosts were friendly and thoughtful
-Dinkey creek store across street (not campground owned) was fantastic
-overall it was quiet and respectful, mostly young families
Cons:
-might have been too early in the season but no one at entry station, therefore no calls to inquire about things leading up to
-maps search (Apple and Google) is wrong on entry location, everyone in my group seemed to get confused on the way in
-toilets barely flushed, 1/2 stalls open, and no sink water (and no soap- which is pretty typical)
-water spouts not labeled potable or not: still unknown
-perhaps a crazy time of the year to swim but some fishermen seemed very frustrated that our group got into the creek at Honeymoon pool oops
-this campground has NO showers. Only the dinky creek store close to the entry has showers open 10-6 PM. Trade $4 for a token at the counter for 4 minute of shower (showers not in great condition and cool/mild
-$57 a night was a bit steep compared to other CA campgrounds I’ve been to

Great location. Check in personnel are very kind and helpful. It was our first time camping in May and the weather was great. The only thing I would suggest is housekeeping to stock up on toliet paper in the evenings- bc by the morning toliet paper would be running low or out due to the qty of campers.
