  Camp Lamoille-Dispersed Camping

  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

  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.

  Welcome Station RV Park

  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!!

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Angel Lake RV Park

  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.

  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.

  East 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.

  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.

  East 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!

  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.

  Several dispersed camping sites before you get to the actual campground. Good spacing on the sites for privacy. Easy access to the creek for clean fresh water. Beautiful views!

  Dispersed Sites Before Campground

  Official campground is only open May-September. As noted by others there are a few dispersed sites off the entrance road to the official site. Views are stunning but most of the better sites are high clearance vehicle access only, with few turn around locations. Highway noise isn’t bad off hours, 1 bar ATT, none with Verizon. WeBoost helps.

  Crisp mountain fresh air,beautiful scenery

  I live close by, but love to go out and spend time traveling up here and just enjoying the scenery. The wildflowers are fabulous and there are just so many of them. I really enjoy looking over the beaver dams along the creeks. The mountains are great for hikes,I just have yet to do it due to bad ankles from broken ankles, but; have had friends tell me they enjoy it.
