ScoutGreat spot, not far off the main road, flat, quiet, and great mtn view!
TravelerThis is a nice campground. I got lucky with FF and got Spot #2, the first one after the campground host. Some locals down in Wells told me to “watch out for the crazies” but I didn’t see any evidence of this (maybe that’s the case up at the Lake campground nearby which is harder to get into at weekends, apparently.) The guy next to me was middle-aged, respectful. I’m on a motorcycle and another guy came by and we chatted about bikes…totally chill as well. The toilets were clean and well maintained “pit” toilets. No smell! The water was not working. A trickle came out of the tap for a few secs then stopped. I brought my own so I was ok. There is no firewood but you might be able to find some scraps. I purchased some at the Maverick gas station just near the turnoff from town. There are fire pits and grill pits. Site #1 had nice morning tent shade in August. Would go again.
Oh, P.S. There was a sort of rundown RV in Site 7 but I didn’t see any evidence of trouble. Campground was generally VERY quiet st night, and this was a Saturday night in mid-August!
TravelerThe main paid camp ground was closed. Just took a right and was back in the wilderness with mountains all around. Many dispersed camping sites but probably need 4x4 with elevation to get to the best.
ScoutWelcome Station is a privately owned RV park just off I-80 west of Wells, NV. The owners take great pride in maintaining the property and treating their guests with courtesy. You can tell that this family-owned business wants you to have an enjoyable experience. While the spaces aren't huge, there's plenty of grassy open space to walk around and stretch your legs. The traffic noise can be distracting at night for light sleepers but bring a set of ear plugs and get a restful night's sleep.
ScoutThis is a beautiful and restful RV/tent campground. The hosts and staff are friendly and I've thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
RangerNot far from I-80. Beautiful area. Campsites are kind of close. Not a lot of vegetation for privacy. Not bad for a night.
TravelerThe hosts at this park are awesome. And their little store/office has local eggs and wagyu beef! Very well stocked (unlike 1000 trails). Great job!
LegendI followed the directions from the dyrt pin, and the written instructions in the description. You go up a steep 2 track a very short distance, 2wd can do it for now but its in the process of washing out. Then you just get to a little hill top and it widens out its just a gravel spot maybe 50 yards by 20 yards up against a cattle fence and overlooking the road. I am not sure if there are more spots or if this is it. I just stayed in this first area with a great view of the mountains. Little traffic overnight no noise and a dark sky. Zero amenities. This is just a great place to stop when passing through. If you stay on the paved road about 15 more minutes there is a lake and a campground back there but I believe its paid. Verizon signal ok. Could watch videos 2 or 3 bars
