Sierra/Dinkey Creek RV Park in Shaver Lake, CA

Backpacked for a few days at the lakes. Was last week of July, not super hot, first creek from mystery lake was still slowly flowing. Stayed at mystery lake and the one above it. Only very light mosquitos out for the 3 day trip. Fishing was very rough for the first two lakes. Absolutely beautiful area though. Hike was not bad at all to the first two lakes. Trail coming back from Mystery lake to the parking lot was a little rough to see leaving the lake heading down to the canyon. (Also there in no cell service if that is something you are considering)

Absolutely our favorite family hide away. Quiet, slow paced and relaxing. Swimming holes and fishing 🎣

Very clean. Well maintained. The Hosts were friendly and keep things ship shape. The showers run by the nearby store were a bit run down. Two were out of order so there was a waiting line. People felt a bit unhappy about it and a 4 minute shower costs $4....

Great camp host Tammy helped us decipher a 3 leaf ground over. Thanks Tammy for letting us know it was wild berries and not the bad 3 leafs! Good to know that with the elevation, we should be er see the bad 3 leafs! Fi key was beautiful, neighbors great and we stayed in #10 which is always a shady favorite near swimming and hiking up to the ghost town.

Our visit to Dinkey Creek Campground was wonderful! It exceeded our expectations in terms of location, beauty and access to amazing nature. The staff was also great and we can't wait to return!

Update:  was contacted by supervisor and they are gonna process a refund. I have changed the one star to five stars. I really appreciate their time and assistance in this matter. Have heard nothing but good things about area.

Made reservations before fire got way to close...requested refund minus late cancellation fee...was told by recreation.gov that I would receive a refund less that fee...then the campground facilities said I couldn't get a refund at all. Don't understand why...when I called to ask about fire...gentleman on phone was discouraging and stated...you know it's really smoky up here. I am just very disappointed. I don't think my request was unreasonable. Plus they are under an evac warning and if we had to leave in a hurry I would lose all my camping gear that I have spent years acquiring.  Does not make sense.

Great campground, in a beautiful location, been camping here for years…but definitely not peaceful anymore!   Seems everyone has a generator now, and will run them 4-5 hours at a time, in the mornings and late afternoon.   All you hear is engine noise!  We camped next to two guys in an older RV, and their onboard gen blasted right into our camp multiple times a day, so we had to keep our trailer closed up and was so loud it would echo throughout the campground.  And dog barking!  Everyone has dogs and just lets the bark excessively, with zero consideration for others.  And our camp host did nothing.  I’d suggest setting generator hours between 11 and 1pm ONLY for people to charge their batteries and/or precook their dinner.  And then have a strict excessive no-barking policy, if they can’t control their dog barking, more than 2 complaints, would be forced to leave.

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.

We really enjoyed the stay at the dinkey creek campground .Hosts were very friendly welcoming,camp grounds were clean and had plenty of portable water to use.we met somebody said they been camping there many years.

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 camp ground. Have been taking my family for year's. We travel 3 hours one way but well worth the drive.

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❤️
