Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Wells, NV

166 Reviews

Mountain Shadows RV Park welcomes pets at its gravel sites with full hookups in Wells, Nevada. Located on the outskirts of town, this established campground offers tent and RV accommodation with friendly service and competitive nightly rates. The park features clean showers and restrooms while maintaining reasonable distances from Interstate 80 to minimize highway noise, though occasional train sounds are noticeable. Angel Lake RV Park similarly accommodates pets with pull-through sites and full hookup options, maintaining tidy gravel areas with planted trees for future shade. The conveniently located park sits just off Highway 80, providing easy access for travelers.

Free dispersed camping options for pet owners include Angel Lake FS Road Pull Out, offering flat sites with mountain views and no amenities approximately 4.5 miles from Wells. This primitive camping spot provides quiet surroundings despite some wind, with excellent Verizon coverage reported by campers. East Humboldt Wilderness Dispersed Camping delivers similar free pet-friendly options with fire rings and scenic vistas, though visitors should note the presence of free-range cattle in the area. Both dispersed camping locations provide dark skies for stargazing and serve as practical overnight stops for travelers with pets, requiring proper waste management and adherence to leave-no-trace principles. Angel Lake Campground in Humboldt National Forest offers a more established option with toilets and drinking water while still allowing pets.

    Iron Horse RV Resort

    Iron Horse RV Resort, NV

    A beautifully laid out campground with gravel sites and nice landscaping. It’s nestled in the heart of Elko, Nevada, a short drive from the Ruby Mountains and a couple of smaller casinos and restaurants.

    The dog park was small, but well maintained and provided waste bags. There is also a spa/hot tub available to guests which is a nice addition. They have clean bathrooms and laundry available as well.

    Best in town!!

    Just passing through and not expecting much but this campground surprised me. It’s clean with friendly staff and plenty of shade trees! Amenities: full hook-ups, small swimming pool/spa, dog park, playground, good sized game room with pool/air hockey/ping-pong/and foosball! Definitely would stay here again!!

    Iron Horse RV Resort

    Super nice

    We aren’t rv park people at all. We definitely prefer disbursed, alone camping. However, that wasn’t a possibility last night so we decided to stay at Iron Horse. It’s super nice. Very clean and quiet. The dog park is pretty convenient and the bathrooms are huge and clean. Would definitely recommend. Having the hookups was so nice given how cold it’s getting at night. Would stay here again.

    Moose Crossings RV Park

    The views are very nice

    Nice, clean and very welcoming hosts. Laundry room consists of one washer and dryer. Bathrooms are a single room (one for men one for woman) one flush toilet and one shower. There is a decent size "dog park" to let your dog go roam off leash. The convenience store has beer, cider, single use laundry fixings, some chips and some basic needs items. As of this writing, our pull through with water and electricity was under $50 for the night. This spot is a great jumping off spot for side by side enthusiasts to go and explore. I believe the host would be happy to point you in the right direction. About an hour easy drive to Craters of the Moon Nat Mon.

    Valley View RV Park

    Ok for stop over

    No frills RV park. Has this laundry room, clean and cheap. Right next to train tracks and lot full of heavy machinery. Mouse is too bad, surprisingly. Pets allied. Must be on leash with you. No tying dog out. No monthly rentals with dogs. No bullybreeds. Seems to be mostly full timers living here. Everyone keeps to themselves. Low water pressure. Good Verizon LTE. Poor T-Mobile

    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.

    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.

    Iron Horse RV Resort

    Professionally kept RV Resort

    The  Iron Horse RV Resort in Elko, NV is a real gem in the Nevada desert. It's on the main highway parallel to I-80 on the north end of town. You have to keep your eyes open on the right side to catch the entrance signage. The Resort is tucked down a private road. The office folks were very professional.

    This RV Resort was extremely well kept and fairly quiet in the evening. Like many RV Resort these days, there are permanent or transient work related residents that are mostly out the perimeter sites.

    All sites have concrete patios, flat and level packed gravel pads, picnic tables and full hookups. There are even a series of mini bungalows.

    As you can see, Yoshi agrees!

    Humboldt National Forest Angel Creek Campground

    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.
