Bathrooms have become a big issue at Dinkey Creek for the last 4 years if not more. I started noticing bathrooms out of order and this year port a pottys which is very unsanitary. Please fix plumbing issues and if possible add a few more bathrooms

For the first time in 50 years we are considering going elsewhere: water not potable, flush toilets not in use, 1/2 portapotties broken, usable portapotties not pumped often enough, roads falling apart with some HUGE ruts. The creek was fine, fishing good. Camp hosts friendly and cleaned portapotties regularly.

Camp grounds host were great. Grounds are well kept. Roads inside of the camp grounds are in need of repair, so one needs to drive carefully.

Sites were well maintained. The staff was very nice! The campsites are spread out nicely.

Always had a great experience camping at Dinkey Creek. All campers knows their site voices, sites are spaced out properly to accommodate two to three tents, bathrooms were cleaned daily.
We stayed at site 6 that has the perfect amount of space to fit our travel trailer and truck. Trees have been cut down as you’ll get some shade.

I was only there for the very last day of the season. Campsite was pretty spacious. Bathrooms have running water and flush toilets which is nice. Dinkey Creek Runs along the campground, just an extremely short walk from the campsites. I will say that during peak season when it is warm enough, that the creek is used by swimmers. If you're looking to fish the creek, you're gonna want to climb and traverse some rocks and if the rocks are wet, they are extremely slick.

Melanie, a camp host went through a very elaborate scheme to convince us that our Senior pass was not good at the campground. Acted like she made a phone call to to someone to confirm. Showed us pictures of proper passes. Took 20+ min to go through the process. I just bought this 6 months ago. She said no, cost us $100+ in additional cost. When we extended our stay, she was back hosting, the new reception desk person, very nice, booked the stay with the 50% senior pass in 2 minutes. Too late to get paid back. Was told how we could have booked on line to avoid the problem. We should not have to. Provide adequate training for people to operate the gate. Other point, is there were three people in the kiosk the second time. One appeared to be a female supervisor. She seemed to be mocking us as we had the discussion about our experience with Melanie. Also, drinking water is an issue at this facility. People did not know if it was safe. Three days later they said it was ok. reconsider the groups that run and oversee this facility. Won't be back.

Campground restroom were well keep as always. Now that the dead tree have been removed it would be nice if the roads inside the campground could be fixed, been in disrepair for two years now.

Have used this campground for about 30 years. The last time last year was the first time I have ever had to deal with cattle in the camping area. Cow pies in the camp site with grandkids is not good. The water running out at the end of the camping season is becoming more frequently and needs to be addressed. Now that the dead trees have been removed it would be nice to see the roads in the campground fixedThis is and has been a great area to experience the outdoors with my family.Thanks for letting me share my thoughts with you.
