Right off the highway
Early Oct and very few in campground. Vault toilets and trash available, but no water. There is traffic noise, but otherwise quite nice. I choose a hilltop site with a lovely tree sheltered view of the lake.

If you like to be close to the wilderness but want a campground in the middle of it, this ones for you. Easily accessible off Hwy 93 and right on the shores of Dickey Lake you’re sure to enjoy your stay here. If you go early in the summer, bring your rain gear and cool weather clothes. Summer always seems to come after July 4th in these parts.
