Our sheep camp, used regularly up until just a decade ago, has been completely renovated and fitted with everything you need to experience just a taste of the kind of living that has called to cowboys, shepherds, ranchers, and farmers for centuries.

I spent three days here in the middle of a week in August. Perfect place for a hot nude hike in and out, and a nude soak at the destination. I met a few people as I was hiking in and then back out, but they didn't mind the fact that I was nude. One couple on the trail coming out were hiking nude as well, and there were several people soaking who were nude also. A few people were textile, but they didn't mind the rest of us. The area where I camped wasn't crowded during my entire stay and I was nude the entire time. I'll come back again.

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.
TravelerThis is such a beautiful spot, the drive up the mountain is a little nerve racking with a large truck & trailer, but camping was nice. If you don’t mind a little hike, the lake is worth walking to. Lots of fishing and kayaking too.

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.

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.

I was a kid I will camp in village with my father and mom old memories are best in village we are playing unblocked games 76 and much more fun we are doing in old days.
ScoutThis is BLM land. There are mountain biking trails nearby too. Rock fire ring and plenty of space for big rigs. Not too many bugs. Some road noise from I-80 but not too loud.
Scout
Quiet and scenic with no amenities, simply a place to sleep overnight on a road trip. Highway 93 is in sight, but you can’t hear it. The Gravel Rd., Inn is well maintained and you can drive till you find a nice off-road spot to pull over at.
Travelerthis spot is so special, road is extremely difficult/had three creek crossings about ankle to knee deep. we made it all the way back and had the place to ourselves! super clean and worth the trek
Traveler
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
RangerWent 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)
Guide
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.
TravelerRoad out to angel lake closed so was humboldt loop
TravelerRoad is rough going in but fine with 4wd, lots of spots along the way to park we stopped at the river. Hotsprings is a short walk
ScoutThis is truly a great place for experiential tourism. Prepare all your equipment and enjoy the warm spring air. I am planning a 15 day trip. The atmosphere is what I like most about geometry dash lite spring when doing this trip. You can bring photography equipment or photos for memories.
Traveler(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.
Traveler
Good spot for overnight. Near highway. Clean bathrooms and showers.
ScoutThis is really a great experience, a warm experience staying in this room and playing bad ice cream, you should also try it.
ScoutGood view felt safe and my fiesta sedan made it with zero issues. There’s a big spot for a U Turn as well
Guide
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.
ScoutWe had a nice stay with some pretty views. A couple comments.
TravelerI arrived way after dark, it was late so I couldnt see anything. Got up the next morning and saw the creek, high rock walls. Took a hike and explored. I also took a bath in the hot springs. If you are in the area, this is a must stay at. You do however, need a high clearance vehicle. The road is pretty rough.
Guide
Escape the heat and enjoy the mtns and river. Campsites are easy to pull into
TravelerSmall spot, 1 bathroom with 2 showers and 1 stall. No grass, no tables ,and can't do fire! So so.
ScoutOne of the best camp grounds around. 95 when we pulled in 4pm. At our great site 86 and a wonderful breeze. No a/c needed. Steve and Nancy have it dialed in. We will be back.
TravelerIt 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.
GuideGreat dispersed camp site minus the cow pies that we're all over. Free range cattle may show up randomly.
