        Humboldt National Forest Angel Lake Campground

        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.

        East Humboldt Wilderness - Peaceful, good view, and clean.

        East Humboldt Wilderness is a nice, quiet spot for camping. It’s pretty easy to find, even after dark, with just a short dirt road to get there. The area is clean and feels safe, with a good view of the surrounding landscape. There are free-roaming cows in the area, which added a unique touch—they kept to themselves, and we did the same. Overall, it's a peaceful place to camp if you’re looking for something simple and off the beaten path.

        Angel Lake FS Road Pull Out

        Angel Lake Forest Service Road Pull Out

        This is just a little side road to the paved Angel Lake Forest Service Road. Take the Wells NV Highway 80 off ramp (351). Go south - signs will point to Angel Lake, it is the turn right after the east bound off ramp from HW80. Drive 4.5 miles and there will be a pull out on your right. You will see a dirt road (more like two tire tracks up the hill before you. They will take you up on the rise over the road, with a great view of the Rubies. Flat space, 3 bars Verizon, nice view, quiet, windy and no amenities. The way the road is cut, you don’t really see cars. This time of year, little traffic on the road. It was windy for our entire say and the place we found this spot from said it was windy.

        High clearance for some great spots!

        Much like the other reviews there are a few easy to get to spots off of FS Rd 660. After turning right onto the FS gravel road you can take a left or right to dispersed camping spots. If you continue straight you end up at a private campground, but plenty of space to turn around. We turned right off of the FS road, there’s revel spots easily assessable via car, we went further down, rock crawling, high clearance required, and found the perfect spot nestled in the trees about 10ft from Lamoille Creek. Spent 4 days there and only had two other veichles attempt to get further down. If you turn left off of FS 660, there are about 4 spots easily assessable, but if you keep going the last two spots (high clearance required) are right next to the creek, one with shade, one not so much

        Beautifull sites viewing the lake and falls.

        Went up to get out of the heat and was not disappointed! Great hiking, fishing, and kayaking at the lake. Very busy on weekends, somewhat noisy (the sites are pretty close together) not very many sites for larger rvs. No trash receptacle (that we could find)

        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.

        Amazing few and a phenomenal host.

        We stayed on this property and had a great evening under the stars and especially enjoyed the view. Edward was amazing and always respond quickly and was so accommodating. We dry camped and it was cold but we were prepared with cold weather gear. We saw all kinds of wildlife and it was very quiet up on the hill. We will definitely be back if we are in this area. 

        Thanks Edward.

        Absolutely amazing!

        It was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The host was accommodating and extremely friendly/ welcoming. The views from the top of the hill, both day and night, were breathtaking. We brought a telescope with us, and we were able to see Saturn's rings, Jupiter, and multiple other planets. The Milky Way seemed brighter and more vibrant. We will certainly be coming back here on our next trip. We pulled a 36' toy hauler and had no problems. There was plenty of room. I wish we could have stayed multiple nights, but our schedule required us to move on.

        Level ground & clean showers

        (Elko KoA)

        Came in late for a quick stop on a trip home and needed showers, level ground, a place with quiet hours, and somewhere safe to call home for the night. And it checked those boxes. 

        I was pleased with how clean the showers were at the end of the day when we came in, and in the morning, they had been bleached. 

        Left before sunrise so I cannot attest to the cleanliness if the entire campground, but our site was level and tidy.

        Great campground

        We stayed here for a night on a road trip east. The campground was nearby the highway yet tucked into the foothills so felt nice and secluded. Bathrooms were clean, campsites well maintained, and the aspen groves were beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

        It is what it is

        It is a $15 a night rv park. If you want a $60 a night spot spend the $60. You get hookups a shower and laundry right off the 80. If that is what you want that is what you get.

        Incredible view

        I loved everything, the campgrounds are super beautiful, there is a lot of privacy between sites, easy check in. There are not showers even if in the description in the app it says that they have, I’ll recommend to bring your own firewood because they didn’t have any for selling when we went there. I’ll definitely come back!

        Easy stop for travel on I-80

        Pretty wildflowers, $17 per night, the site said it was all first come first served but some people there said they had reserved in advance. There were still sites available until about 7pm on a Friday night. Pretty close together, not much privacy.

        Just Passing Thru

        Was just an over night stop.  Probably the best location in Elko, but.... the sites are very small in width.  when we had our slides out, we were about 4 feet from our next door neighbor..Not bad if it is just overnight.  But what if you were staying for several days?
