Such a beautiful spot. The camphost was beyond amazing; super friendly, helpful with suggestions of things to do, and really created a sense of community at the campsite. Our kids can't wait to go back.

Very nice little campground. I stopped for one night on the way to Yellowstone. I booked site 12 through recreation.gov and I really lucked out. Outstanding site. CG is 800ft above Wells, NV and gets cooler at night.

Beautiful spot at 6650 ft elevation, with friendly camp hosts. One loop is first come first serve and the other loop can be reserved on recreation.gov If coming without reservations be sure to bring cash for the correct amount. Very clean vault toilets on site.

Campground was closed. But the drive was beautiful. Opens around July 4th depending on weather. I'm definitely going back!

Stunning fall colors and snow capped mountains. Spent one night there on our fall camping trip. Only a few other campers, so we really had the place to ourselves. Super quiet, short drive off of highway 80. Great place to ride a bike, if you want some serious exercise. The bathrooms were clean.

First I would like to say, beautiful little campground . But at our site#16 we had access to nice little woods to walk with dogs. Only to find human waste & tp. Reported to host. Was not taken care of while we were there, but still charged full price.

Very good deal. The campgrounds doesn’t claim to have many activities. They make up in scenery, also accommodating staff. Only gave 4 stars since our camping site was very narrow. passing through we will definitely be back

A really great surprise at the end of a long driving day. This campground is about 7 mi from Wells, NV near I-80. I was concerned about camping here because the temperature driving across Nevada was mid-90s (F). But the elevation gain really knocked the temperature down. The temperature at the campsite was at least 10 degrees F cooler than down in Wells. It really changed my opinions of camping in Nevada. The campground itself has nice views of the mountain, and it probably 1000 ft lower than the lake at the top. We were in site 11, which I liked, it was on the top row of sites and lots of scrub brush between us and the camp road and other campers. The mountain and rise are west of the campground, so you will lose direct sunlight earlier than sunset. Good to know for next time since we use solar to recharge. The campsite had a concrete pad at the front, and was dirt further back. Several box toilets, so although the campground was full it wasn't a problem in the mornings. There is a camp host at the campsite (2021) who sold firewood as well. Only wildlife I saw near this campsite was a badger crossing the road. First time I've seen one wild in the US.

Our spot was nice and set back in the trees. After years of driving through Wells, my family finally learned about the Ruby Mountains and decided to go camping. The campground has great tasting potable water. Super clean, nice smelling outhouses. Close to Angel Lake and hiking trails. Poor cell reception but you can connect in certain spots (like the cattle guard at the entrance to the campground).
