Dinkey Creek is a well-maintained campground with clean restrooms and friendly hosts, making it a great destination for families and groups. Visitors enjoy the beautiful setting, access to swimming holes, and spacious campsites, though some sites can be sunny and noisy during busy weekends. Overall, the campground offers a positive experience, despite occasional issues with loud campers and maintenance concerns.

We reserved 4 sites for our 4th of July weekend stay. Sites were great and roomy. Our camp host started out friendly and went to being pushy, inconsiderate and rude. He didn't like having to clean and restock the bathrooms and was very vocal about it with quite a few campers, ourselves included. We also felt harrassed about the rule on charcoal grills. We checked before driving up (as we do every year) that they were permitted and were told yes. That had changed after we arrived and we were fine with that. We clearly had the grill strapped closed and off to the side. Every time he drove by to check it was in the same spot and were told we had to place it in a vehicle or we would be cited and could be asked to leave if we didn't comply. We explained that it wasn't being used and just being kept off to the side. Yet, we still received the same threat every time. We also had one site vacated a day early due to campers being noisy and vulgar way past the curfew time. Mind you, we had at least a dozen minors under the age of 12 that aren't exposed to such language. We tried to bring this to the attention of our host and were told it wasn't his business and he couldn't do anything about it. What is the purpose of a camp host? This will not deter us from camping here again, but it was a bad experience. Every other stay has been pleasant.

We loved the campground, it's very well kept and is right off the creek.

This campground is amazing! We went during the week and it was pretty empty. Check on the situation with the water before you go because we had no idea that there wasn’t potable water. (This changes). The water was so high in the creek that we couldn’t use the slides but still had a blast.

Our guy who cleaned and kept up the restroom was great! We hope to see him again next year!

We took our grandkids and son (ages 10-12) on their very first camp experience. The campsite was under renovation so there was alot of trees down but we felt safe to let the kids go about and play in a group. The campsite was large enough for us to enjoy and cook over a campfire, setup table and chairs for 6, set-up 2 tents, and close enough to the restrooms which were very well kept. We were able to join a private tour hosted by a volunteer which was really incredible! The lakes were refreshing but very slippery. The only suggestion I have is more security shoild be at the shared spaces because there were some sketchy visitors that made our water visits short.
