Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Headquarters

66 Reviews

Little A'Le'Inn's campground accommodates pets in tent sites, RV spots and cabins for $10 per night with no hookups. Most camping options near Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest accept dogs, including Upper Campground at Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge which offers free lakeside camping with picnic tables and fire pits for pet owners. The spots are easy to get in and out of, and sites remain clean despite having no camp hosts. Picketts RV Park in Alamo allows pets with full hookups including 30/50 amp service, cable TV, and WiFi. Area 51 Stake Out - Dreamland Camp permits pets in a primitive setting with fire rings but no facilities, offering complete seclusion for campers traveling with animals.

Outcrop Rock dispersed camping area permits pets with no restrictions, suitable for nude hiking with dogs according to visitor experiences. The rocky terrain provides natural boundaries between camping areas about a mile off Highway 93 with good Verizon service. For lakeside camping with pets, Pahranagat Wildlife Refuge accommodates dogs at fifteen first-come, first-served sites along Upper Pahranagat Lake, though highway noise can be noticeable during daytime hours. Several campgrounds in the area close seasonally or have had temporary closures, so calling ahead is recommended. The Pahranagat sites allow a maximum stay of fourteen days within a 31-day period with quiet hours from 10pm to 7am, important for preventing dogs from disturbing wildlife or other campers.

      Upper Campground - Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge

      Great BLM site

      We looked for a last minute camping spot as we went from LA to Colorado and came across this spot. It was free and pet friendly and right next to the lake which made for a beautiful sunset. The only downside is that you do hear quite a bit of traffic driving past since it’s right next to the road but it’s definitely worth it for being free.

      Upper Campground - Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge

      Beautiful scenery, lots of bugs & 💩

      We got in on a Thursday night right around 6:30 pm. We knew we were going to be cutting it close and in our 26 foot rig out of the 10ish spaces that could fit us (some spots are only for vans or tents) only 2 were left so we suggest getting here earlier. We found a space that was available next to another camping couple who were very kind. They were pulling a Bighorn maybe a 28 ft with slides and we both fit in spots 2 and 3 with ease. The road heading in is incredibly washboarded. Stick to the left side of the road if you want a slightly less bumpy ride. Scenery was gorgeous. Lots of shade for Nevada. Amazing view of the stars too! You are close to the highway but at night the road settles down and it was not a problem for us. Being so close to the lake be prepared to be inundated with bugs at night time if you have any lights on at all. Also, people do not seem to pick up after their pets (maybe even themselves?) as the closer you get to vegetation the more poop you’ll see alongside the grass/bushes. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. It is a donation only park and it is first come first serve! We arrived Sept 17th around 6:30 pm with only two spots left and right after we pulled in another van and camper pulled in so I’m pretty sure it was full by 7 pm. Temps were low 60s at night and 85 when we arrived up until about 8:30 pm! Each site is spaced far enough apart where you aren’t necessarily on top of each other (except for our site which was meant for two rv’s)! There are also picnic tables, grills and fire pits at each site.

      Upper Campground - Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge

      Great location with lake

      Stopped here short of intended destination due to lateness of the hour and long drive. Great sites along the lake with tables and fire rings and fireplaces. Able to set up in one of the RV sites next to the water. Bike trails available, boating allowed but no swimming. Visitor center is nearby. Reasonable temps. Proximity of water does mean bugs of all kinds(gnats, nozzles, dragonflies etc.) 8 person occupancy. Only downside is proximity to the highway but not as heavily trafficked as it could be.

      I would stay again

      There are 15 camp sites located on the lake side. Lots of hiking & birding. Camp host came and checked on us.

      The Camp ground full sign was never taken down even though there were several camp sites available every night.

      Trash located at entrance & water available at the visitor center.

      Upper Campground - Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge

      Pahranagat means 'feet sticking in water'

      We stopped here for lunch to check it out as a potential spot for the future. So we didn't actually camp here but we looked around, took pictures, and made a plan for our return. First thing is that since this place is free and beautiful it fills up quickly. We arrived around 11:30 am and there were spots available but they were all taken by the time we left after our lunch. However, there is another free boondocking spot across the highway near the refuge entrance, so if you arrive too late to get a spot you could camp at the boondocking spot for one night and then try to get a campsite at the refuge the next day. It was October when we were there and the weather was cool and the leaves turning. Just gorgeous scenery and the campsites are literally right next to the lake. Lots and lots of water fowl. There are nice trails around the area too but be careful at the lower parts of the refuge because hunting is allowed there. The refuge consists of two lakes and a marsh. Parts of the lakes are muddy, which is probably how the place gets it's name. There are sites big enough for RVs and sites where only tents are allowed. None have hookups but they do have picnic tables. The road noise might bother some people. And the entire park is dirt roads, not paved. Parts of the road are narrow, so caution must be taken when passing other vehicles.

      Upper Campground - Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge

      This'll do in a pinch....not bad, not great.

      After a long, hot, WINDY ride down the ET Highway, I was ready for a stop.  I found this place via The Dyrt.  A bit difficult to find the actual entrance, to the north of the camps.  The Visitor Center, to the south, was closed.  The camps are rather exposed, but right on the water's edge.  Most were filled, as it is 'first-come' camping.  I was able to share spot #3 with a big motorhome in #2.  Pretty cute extremes in camping.  The camp host was kind, and had no problem with me setting up a clothes line for drying my sweaty gear.  Pit toilets are only at the two ends of the camping area, so plan ahead.  It was about a 5-minute walk from #2, for #2.  Quite a few bugs got me during the evening hours, but not too bad.  Fun to watch the Mexican free-tail bats come out in the evening.
