Fishing Paradise California
We do not camp here but mainly drive up to swim and fish for the afternoon. There are multiple swim holes and fish are stocked through early summer. You can enjoy a picnic here or hike a ways to find your own secluded hole. Keep in mind this place is popular in summer but if you arrive early you have a pick of spots. The fishing can be fair to incredible depending on the time of year. I have caught some rather large brook trout in here as well as brown trout and rainbow trout are the main stay. I suggest bringing lifejackets because some holes are rather deep.

I visited pre Memorial Day weekend and the campground was wide open. The campground is well maintained with flush toilets and water in the restrooms. Campsites were distributed in a way where you are not on top of each other. Great experience.

Great place to bring your family. Campground is very large and each site is nicely spaced out from your neighbor. Restrooms are well kept. Bring your own water to do chores like washing dishes washing hands. The water sites are "boil before use." Camp host are friendly and helpful. They have paid per use showers I didn't use them but they are there. Plenty to do around the area. lots of opportunities to explore. Bears are in the area, so come prepared. Over all, I'd give this campground 10/10.

The camp host was super helpful. He moved us to a different campsite so we wouldn't get stuck on slippery roads after the snow that was forecast for the night. He also told us about some really great hikes nearby that we could check out. Good facilities too. Would camp there again!

I gave it a 5 star because of the camp host, Sandy and her family and their Great Dane. I stayed in Dinkey creek years ago and loved it. BUT be prepared there is no potable water. Doesn't mention this on the website. So load up before you leave home. There is water at the general store for sale at a price. Great place to camp and fish.

Great place for family/friends camping. Cute swimming holes that can be hiked to or head to the end of the road for the day use area which has a natural water slide and more swimming holes. Toilets were super clean and camp spaces very well kept. Trees are a little scarce right now, but we had plenty of shade in our spaces. The store and pay showers are convenient for anyone not really into the roughing it kind of camping. Would definitely do another "family" camping trip.

Amazing!! Creek water was low but that was expected. They are fully open all bathrooms are working and operational. The camp hosts are a big help. Thanks

This was THE BEDT vacation spot EVER!! We went for a family vacation. 7 adults and 2 small children for 3 nights and 4 days. Went on a hike every day after breakfast and lunch. We found something new every day and had more fun each day. The general store is awesome and has a lot of fun things to buy, as well as delicious food in a quaint little cafe. BEST ONION RINGS EVER!!!. We will be going EVERY YEAR FROM NOW ON❤️
