We stumbled across this small campground on our way to
Valentine, NE. We were looking for a
place to just do a single overnight stop so when we saw the signs for the fish
camp we decided to take a chance and go to check it out.
After following the signs down a long sand road that wound
through a hay field we came to an oasis of trees that turned out to be the fish
camp.
Then the strangeness happened. The campground was tidy, there were several
campers there, but no people. Absolutely
no people, no honor box, no fees posted, nothing. There as a bait shop of sorts that was closed
that had a sign on it that said if we were going to use electricity to see the
camp host before parking.
We checked several campers, but there was no one there. It was like something out of the twilight
zone. Since the weather was mild we
decided to just boondock and not use the electricity and pay the attendant in
the morning.
Around midnight we heard three trucks come into the campground
and the voices of their occupants, but when we got up at 7 am there was no one
there. We were still all alone. Insert spooky music here.
Since it was on a wildlife reserve we finally decided it was
part of the lands we had been looking at for free camping and left.
Here a few photos we snapped the night we arrived.
