Reviews

Sierra National Forest campgrounds are well-regarded for their beautiful natural settings, proximity to lakes and hiking trails, and generally clean and well-maintained facilities. Camp hosts are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and attentive, contributing to a positive camping experience. Many sites are spacious, family-friendly, and offer peaceful atmospheres suitable for tents and small RVs. However, common issues include noise disturbances from other campers, vehicles, or nearby activities, limited amenities such as showers and bear-proof storage, and occasional maintenance problems with restrooms or water supply. Road access can be rough or challenging in some areas, and some sites lack shade or have uneven terrain. Overall, these campgrounds provide scenic and enjoyable outdoor experiences with some variability in amenities and conditions.

Group campsite is a very unique site to camp with a large group. Dinkey Creek is a beautiful place with so many fun things to do. The site was not as prepared as I would have anticipated though. The fire pits were not cleaned out so several pits were filled with dirt, leaves and ashes. The tables were also randomly placed and not out back in place so it was difficult to determine where people would park and setup tents.

We booked a site that stated it was an RV site, but we arrived to find it was a tent site. The staff quickly fixed the issue and moved us to a much nicer spot. It was very beautiful and quiet. We will definitely return.
