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!

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.

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.

Very clean and the toilets/water worked great. They cleaned the restrooms 3+ times a day in our loop. We were in I loop and it was very quiet and respectful. It was quite tight in the space with my 28 ft fifth wheel. Took a bit of finessing but it wasn’t too bad. Overall it felt clean and well maintained and a nice atmosphere at least in I loop.
