About this site

Source

Rickey Lake splits into two camping areas: one right beside the main road and open to the sun, another a little further west with more shade. Both take mid-sized trailers, which is not always true of rec sites in the Merritt area.

Five spots in total, first come, first served, on gravel. Anglers are the regulars here, with the lake 0.4 km from camp.

Brookmere is about 12 km away, and fuel is further out at a Trading Post about 23 km off, so get gas before you head up.
