It was beautiful & the weather amazing. The bathroom was constantly checked by staff to ensure cleanliness. The campsites were checked for trash and debris. It was an overall amazing experience!

I love this campground. This is my second time here and I had a chance to explore it. The honeymoon pool and slicks are pretty nice and there were people swimming and fishing. There are two trails off the end of the campground, one is an easy road the raps around to the campground and the other is Dinkey Creek trail (doing it next time). I can get 3-4 miles walks in easy without even leaving the campground. The only issue is the closed restroom because on the weekend, the one toilet remaining caused others some issue. There are more restrooms not far away. The site is not flat-flat so bring something to level your cot but there is room for more than one 6p tent. Probably can get 2 cars in the drive also but most of the sites looked to take 2 cars. If you want to be closer to the water, choose the site new the end. The bridge has not been repaired.

I was disappointed when I arrived. Reservations were booked well over 2 months and the camp site had not been mowed. The grass was tall and unable to sleep at site the first night.

We had an awesome time camping at spot 9 in dinkey creek. We spent one night just to get away from the valley heat and my girls loved it! Tammy was so kind and accommodating and provided excellent service! She told us about a nice spot right down the way so my girls can play on the creek. We will be back soon no doubt!

Stayed at space #6 and it was great. It has limited shade during day hours but it was still very nice. Spacious and comfortable.... did not feel like it was crowded despite each site being booked. Staff was great and always keeping up with cleaning and roaming around to help people. Really close to the river which made it easy to walk around and cool off

Not a good review. There was trash all over the campsite and all the campsites host would say is the last people that were here didn’t clean up their trash again not good.

Was absolutely beautiful. Had an amazing time with Family showers could be a little better but overall, we had a beautiful experience and can’t wait to book again.

First time parking a trailer in spot 96. It was challenging to back into the spot and level it out. Also if you back the trailer into the spot the picnic table is to the left. Luckily with so few campers there I was able to circle around and turn the trailer around. For regular tent camping afternoon shade is good but the site would benefit with more than one pop up shade.
Clean bathrooms nice hosts, hot showers at the store and kids may have gotten out of school late we had the campground to ourselves

I got spaces #19, 20 and 21. All three spots are sloped and uncomfortable. But the spots near the restrooms up at the top are really big, falt and nice.
