About Dinkey Creek
Overview

Hikers can walk the Dinkey Creek Trail. Mountain bikers also have trail access in this area.
Facilities
There is a group site that can accommodate up to 50 people. The rest are a mix of standard or tent-only single sites.
An on-site amphitheater offers educational programs on summer weekends. There is a picnic site located on large sandy flat above the creek at the north end of the campground.
All sites have paved spurs, picnic tables and fire grills; accessible sites are available. Drinking water and both vault and flush toilets are provided.

FAQ
How do I get a reservation at Dinkey Creek?
Reservations for Dinkey Creek are made through Recreation.gov. The current snapshot shows substantial availability: 480 of 607 tracked site-nights are open (79.1%), though availability can change. Campsite Sniper has also detected 309 site openings here in the last 90 days, so further dates may appear. Pick a site on the map to see its calendar, or set a free Campsite Sniper alert. You complete the reservation yourself on Recreation.gov.
Does Campsite Sniper book this campground for me?
No. Campsite Sniper sends alerts and direct Recreation.gov links. It never books, pays for, holds, hoards, or resells reservations.
How current is this availability data?
Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes. This facility's data last changed at Nov 2, 2026 18:20 UTC; an older timestamp means nothing has changed since that time, not that checking stopped. Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.
How often do new openings appear at Dinkey Creek?
Campsite Sniper detected 309 site-date openings here over the last 90 days, none in the last 7. A free alert watches around the clock and pings you the moment one appears.
Can I get a multi-night stay at Dinkey Creek?
120 three-night openings are showing, counting only runs where the SAME site is free for all three nights. The soonest starts Apr 30, 2027 at site 001. Confirm and book on Recreation.gov.
Which sites at Dinkey Creek fit a 35-foot RV?
85 of the 122 sites that support RV analysis have a recorded maximum of 35 ft or more; the longest recorded is 50 ft. 107 of those 122 sites have a recorded maximum length and 15 do not; they are not counted as fitting.
Which month has the most availability at Dinkey Creek?
May 2027, with 360 open site-nights in the current snapshot of 366.
How far ahead of a stay do openings appear at Dinkey Creek?
Half of the openings Campsite Sniper detected appeared at least 6 days before the stay date; the middle 50% landed 3-15 days out. Campsite Sniper can monitor future changes for dates you select.
When is the next open date at Dinkey Creek?
Campsite Sniper cannot answer that from the current snapshot. The availability data held for Dinkey Creek begins Jan 1, 2027 — about 60 days after this snapshot was taken, so any earlier dates are outside what Campsite Sniper is tracking here rather than known to be unavailable. Check Recreation.gov for dates before Jan 1, 2027.
