Hatchery is a nice stop over

We wanted to fish nearby at the preserve, so decided to camp at the hatchery. Quiet campground and was able to park under shade trees. Walked over to the Hatchery, it was interesting to see the fish. Cute fishing lake at the campground (perfect for kids), my husband had some fun with his fly rod. Campground cost is donations only. Glad we stopped here.

Free, beautiful, a little buggy

Free (donation box) camping. I have a hard time imagining this place filling up, plenty of field to park in. Most RVs were under a row of trees. Two vault toilets, on either end of camping. Not the cleanest or freshest I’ve used, but not the worst. Great scenery and birdwatching. Good stop on the way to/from Craters.
