I most likely will be tenting, and from what I hear dicks dome area in va, is pretty crappy. Are there any tenting area options near this area that I could consider as an option?

There are sites near the DD shelter that are OK. There is a water source at the shelter and a privy= yee haw.

There is an option north of DD, an actual campsite, just off the AT. No idea the name of it or actual mileage. If I recall correctly, it was a few minutes walk north on the left hand side.

Go about a mile north, campsites located near a spring with a better water source.

I stopped at the spring last week - it was running low and a big frog was living in it (I had my filter). I don't remember the campsite though.

I didn't stop at Dick's, but the stream at Dick's was also running very, very low (You have to cross it just upstream from the shelter) leading me to hope for better results at the spring.
