We had a great visit! My boys loved the campgrounds and the staff was very friendly. The facilities were impeccable, bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen at a campground. We will be back as soon as we can.

I'd probably give 3.5 stars- Nice spot for camping & we love the creek, which has some swimming spots, fishing and granite slides (at the end of the road). Beautiful area, but just know- there have been lots of trees cut down due to the bark beetle- so some sites have more sun and are more open than they used to be. Also- I thought most sites were tents only but there were a few trailers and RV's trying to squeeze in- some were on the parking spots that were so uneven! Just because a site says '40 ft max' doesn't mean it's suitable for them. We'll stick with our tents. There are clean bathrooms and water faucets- the water says 'non-potable' so bring your own drinking water. We used the water from faucets to wash dishes after boiling. There is a small store at the front that has necessities (like bottled water) and the store has pay showers as well.

Staff cleaned the bathrooms thoroughly 6 times a day. Unfortunately, they didn’t keep up with the campsites, enforce quiet hours, prevent campers from using chainsaws on downed wood or know where there was a dump site for RV’s on the mountain! (Camp Edison has a dump site $30)
More than half the trees are down and shade is at a premium, be sure to bring your own.
If you’re going, be ready for a party crowd, loud music from multiple sites day and night. Non potable water, so fill before you get there. Oh, and the map online doesn’t match loop E!

Restrooms are really clean. The lady at the booth was very nice and gave us information about the area. One of the nicest campgrounds i've been to. However many of the trees are chopped down meaning there is not as much shade and a lack of privacy. Other than that I have no complaints.

We loved Dinkey Creek! It was our first time camping there. There are some downfalls. Very tight roadways between the campsites. This campground is geared for tent campers and not rvs, trailers, or 5th wheels, unless they are small. There is no dumpstation, either. Otherwise we loved the campground. Large sites, all the free firewood you could need, clean bathrooms.
