Coyote Cove — South Fork State Recreation Area
CRAZY windy, but decent views
All of the camping spots are right on the water, no cover at all (this isn’t really a good tent camping or RTT site). A little awkward as there is a small neighborhood right behind you but the views of the mountains are good.

East Campground — South Fork State Recreation Area
Beautiful scenery and fantastic fishing
This campground is surrounded by natural beauty. Snow capped mountains hang in the distance. The site is super clean and has flushable toilets and a non-fee shower. There are trails from camp to the water. Make sure to bring your fishing poles because chances are you will catch a good-sized trout. There is a daily limit of 1 fish, but this reservoir is known for trophy-sized bass and trout so that's all you need. Temps dropped to the mid-teens so be prepared if tent camping. There are horseshoe pits available and there is also an ADA compliant site also.

Awesome place for families!
We were traveling across the country as a family of eight in a tent. Called the same day upon arrival and was able to get a tent site. Planned to stay just one night and ended of staying three! This truly is an oasis in the desert. Beautiful kept grass, sites, bathrooms...great creek to play in and many places on the property to rest and just be. The owners and additional staff members are so kind and we loved meeting them all. They are all invested in this campground and it shows! We are from Virginia so we most likely will not pass this way again but if this place was closer to us, we'd be here all the time and recommend it to everyone!!

Humboldt National Forest Angel Creek Campground
awesome!
This is 6,200 foot elevation 8 miles outside Wells, Nevada. Peaceful camping in an aspen grove with fire pits, toilet, trash receptacle. If you’re a birder it’s got high desert birds, raptors. I saw my first Lewis’s woodpecker, watched a Harrier hunting, a flock of soaring, bug eating Common Nighthawks, deer everywhere. Stunning views of the terrain. Designated tent pitching squares, kinda rocky but fine with a protective footprint.

Humboldt National Forest Angel Lake Campground
Gorgeous lake up in the mountains
Surprisingly beautiful site, right outside of Wells, in Northern Nevada. The actual camp sites are small and relatively close to one another, but it's beautiful up in the mountains the lake is absolutely gorgeous. Good place to fish, swim or kayak.

A lovely little spot in the hills
This a pleasant little camping spot in the hills outside of Wells. There isn't a lot of privacy; camping spots are clustered around stands of aspens dotted along the hillside. And it can be a little crowded because there are very few NFS campgrounds in this part of Nevada. But its pretty, clean, and well managed.

Grassy oasis on the way across Nevada
Grass everywhere! In a desert environment. Clean and functional showers and bathroom. Very inexpensive to park on the grass and throw up a tent or sleep out. I-80 noise is ever present so be prepared. Street facade is not as nice as the reality inside so go for it.

Solid, clean, quiet
We really liked this spot in Nevada. The reservoir is a nice thing to walk to, not much more. A pretty strong wind came out of no where right as we settled down to sleep, so just be aware that can happen. All in all, not a bad spot for a stop along any journey.

Clean but noisy
This was literally the cleanest, tidiest campground I’ve ever stayed in. All gravel and few trees, so not great for tents but a good spot for RVs. The lady working the office was super friendly and helpful. Unfortunately it is just off the highway, so there was a lot of traffic noise. If you have excellent insulation, then maybe that’s not a problem for you.

Elko RV Park at Ryndon
Friendly, quite, next to freeway
Spent a week here. Trees are in a lot of the spaces, which is nice to see and have in this part of Nevada. A lot of locals here because of the work in Elko. The staff was very friendly and made you feel very welcome. Restrooms, laundry, 30 and 50 amp services, propane, sewer, and water. We have a 37' Class A, fit in nicely. Not a lot to do, Sinclare gas station with a small grill is not far away. Everything else is in Elko. All in all a nice stay.

Terrific stopover along the highway just outside of Wells
In the middle of the Nevada desert along I80, there's a nice RV oasis for a stopover for travelers. Located just west of Wells, NV, this mom and pop run RV park has nice trees, grass and grounds including a pond. There's a small store with goodies and wagyu locally raised beef. We picked up some ribeye, t-bone and new york strip. Woke up to blueberry muffins on our doorstep baked fresh by the hosts. Would highly recommend. Highway noise was faint and not bothersome. Spaces are a little close together, but it doesn't feel crowded.

Lush, Green and Serene
Compared to the surround areas, this place was truly an oasis in the desert as others have said. The hosts were super nice. One can see that they have put some work into this campground to make it so nice and pleasant. We were very glad that we made a two night reservation. This is a great place to lay over and visit the Lamoille Canyon which is known as the Swiss Alps of Nevada. It is located just south of Elko. There is a little train noise - blowing the horn when it gets to Wells, but this all stops in the evening. Some highway noise, but not enough to bother.

great spot on the way thru nevada
stopped one night here on our way thru nevada. arrived around 7pm and there were still quite a few spots available. we were in spot #18, which is apparently usually booked. it was gorgeous and pretty level, tucked away from other sites in an aspen grove. the campground is pretty minimal with vault toilets and a water pump. google maps tried to take us up a crazy dirt road that connected to 231, it’s pretty obvious when you see it, but don’t take it and go a bit further and there are signs for angel lake. we had no issues in our ‘92 camper van. we loved it and would absolutely stop here again.

I. Love. This. Place.
Nancy and Steve, the owners, are just wonderful. It's seconds off of I-80. Yes, there's some traffic noise, but I don't care. I love it anyway. The bathrooms, showers and laundry room are all spotless. There are several pull thrus, multiple backin spots, and there are also a few tent areas. It's a small, older RV park and the spaces are close together. Again, I don't care about that. The acerage is covered with old trees, lush green grass, and a beautiful brook running through it. People describe it as an oasis and, to me, that's completely appropriate. I've stayed there 3 times over a two yr period and I will again if my trip takes me their way.
Sotnos B.GuideEast Campground — South Fork State Recreation Area
Superbly Quiet
Stayed one night while passing through Elko. Campground is about 10-15 minutes out of town but a world apart. Sites are very well spaced apart and quite large. Each site has a generous ramada over a picnic table for protection from sun or rain. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean. Took off one star for the bugs. They're attracted by light and will swarm into your tent or RV if you leave the door open even a second. One annoyance, the ranger sits at the entrance of each campsite with their truck loudly idling as they make their rounds. This is especially troubling late a night when most campers are already asleep.

Nice high altitude campground off I-80
Stayed in site 13 which was just enough driveway space and able to level with chocks. Beautiful view to the East. Quiet while we were here. Road in can be quite steep so just a few campers/trailers, no mega RVs.
While shrubby aspens mean no shade, there is quite a bit of privacy. Lake is nice and easily accessible from campground.
Sites 19 and 22 are FCFS and quite nice, 22 sits right on the creek and 19 doesn't have a concrete parking barrier so better access to site for vehicle. Decent views. Site 12 has water spigot right alongside and decent views. Site XX has VERY limited parking, tent only.
Food aside: Dinner was freeze-dried mango sticky rice with pre-cooked and reheated chicken with roasted hatch green chiles. Took 35 min to cook, but yum! Low/medium FQ (fart quotient). Breakfast was omelet with cheese, hash brown, bacon and green chile burritos. Dinner was Sprouts Hatch chile mac and cheese with extra cheese and jerky, including hatch jerky.

LegendEast Campground — South Fork State Recreation Area
Not too far off the highway but you'd never know it!
General: 25-site campground with electric hookups on the South Fork Reservoir. A handful of sites are reservable but most are first-come, first-available.
Site Quality: All sites are gravel (except the Handicap site) with electric hookups; most appeared level and some have a view of the reservoir. Covered picnic tables with a windshield (in front of a tent platform). Water spigots are located throughout the campground.
Bathhouse: Individual unisex units that were decent but no soap or paper towels. The shower looked like it needed a good cleaning.
Activities: We were there on a blustery Sunday in May but in season, you can enjoy water activities. Nearby rentals are available for boats, jet skis, kayaks, and SUPS. Short trails to the beach which was rocky but walkable. The weather was not forecasted to be pleasant during our stay – a high wind advisory with rain and snow and temperatures dipping into single digits overnight, so it was difficult to imagine what it would be like in the summer with all the water activities going on!

Wild Horse State Recreation Area
No wild horses, but a great campground!
This Nevada State Recreation Area is in a beautiful very remote location, along the Wild Horse reservoir. There are two camping areas with about a dozen sites in each. Each site has a nice picnic table, rain / sunshade, and fire ring...and lots of sun for the solar panel. The bathroom facilities are the fanciest we've ever seen for $15 per night. Can you say, "Custom tiled shower?" Someone did a really nice job. And, the campground is kept emaculate.
Just below the campground is a boat ramp and parking lot and swimming beach area. The lake is great for boating, fishing and paddling. The winds we experienced would make it a great lake for sailing, and sailboarding. There are numerous hikes along forest roads in the area that will get you up into the mountains (and even up to an old gold mine), but not alot of "trail hikes." Mountain biking is a great option along these backroads.
The nearest town with services is Owyhee, gas and small grocery store, about 35 miles to the north. There was no cell service in the campground, but we found it on our hike up the mountain!

Returned twice now
Convenient stop, nice folks. We stop here when we are trying to get the heck out of the heat, and ususlly manage to get this far on the first day of driving. It's a sweet little spot; green and cool. Cute gardens and streams running through the property. In the middle of no where, but a great first stop when you are trying to get north.

A lovingly tended oasis in the i80 desert. A year round creek, walking path, cows to wake up to, mountain views. On the way to California but the kids asked if we could just spend our vacation here 😂 Charming hosts brought us warm homemade muffins in the morning ...!

Beautiful little campground
The owners, Steve and Nancy, have done a lot with this little campground to make it so beautiful and well kept. There were tree swings, benches along a stream, a garden, and beautiful vistas. The spots are mostly grass, which is nice. It’s a true diamond in the rough.

Ok, but noisy
Easy enough to reach from the freeway but that also meant it was very noisy, even from our spot further away and closer to the ‘nature’ end of the park. We had a very hard time falling and staying asleep due to large transit trucks flying by and hitting every pot hole and groove all night long. Spots are a little closer together than most would probably prefer but that didn’t change usability. The facilities were clean, functional, and we appreciated that the bathrooms were locked and also well heated. Wi-Fi was decent if you have to work occasionally like I did. Owners were nice enough but atheists/non-religious folks beware; they will be giving you a born-again agenda/proselytizing book upon arrival. This made us uncomfortable and we wished we had known before booking. It was a very short overnight stay so didn’t get to participate in any of the scavenger hunting or other games they have set up.

An oasis on a long day
This little gem is an oasis of green grass and good shade. The rv spaces are a little close together but the expansive open green grass areas make up for it. The gardens and lawns are immaculate and the owners are very welcoming. We messed up our reservation on line (wrong day). The owner called when we did not arrive and graciously moved us to the next day.
