Rained all afternoon, night, and next morning - not the optimum time for a visit. Swapped out for site further up the hill because site 15 turned out to be the collection point for water runoff. On the plus side, campground was quiet and the vault toilets were clean.

The good: Camp is peaceful and quiet. Numerous toilet vaults. Vaults are clean. Paved access road. Limited, but available WiFi through camp host. Beautiful lake with nice boat dock. The bad: Campsite access road is too narrow. Parking blocks in individual campsites are laid out poorly. Boat ramp is too narrow. Too many reserved spots that are not occupied.

Had an excellent time at Dickey. Campground was clean and quiet, with excellent camp hosts. Only thing the sites could use a little gravel as they were muddy on the rainy days.
