US Forest Service campground in lovely setting in mountains above Wells. No hookups and be sure you have water before you come. There was a water faucet but it had a warning sign stating to boil the water 15 minutes before using it. We camped here in our 27' fifth wheel. We detached and drove our truck up to Angel Lake where there is another campground. We were glad we did. The road up the mountain to Angel Lake has gorgeous views but has some tight turns. Not recommended for big rigs. Plus the campsites at Angel Lake are small though we were told later there were two sites long enough for bigger RVs but how big I'm not sure. We were happy at Angel Creek which had lovely views looking across the Ruby Mountains. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful, old-fashioned "Campground" where wildlife is right at your doorscreen--bugs, birds, and deer. The access road is steep and winding; interior roads are narrow but well-paved. Most spaces are too small for our 32' Airstream, but arriving early in the afternoon we found a couple that worked. Dry camping and vault toilets, but the elevation is high enough to be comfortable without A/C, even in July. DO NOT take an RV andy further up the mountain, but DO go up the mountain to see Angel Lake--stunning alpine scenery in the middle of the Nevada Desert. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Even though the staff was very nice and helpful and the restrooms and showers were extremely clean...the place is a pit hole. It was quite noisy, too. We would not recommend this place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Most of the comments are right on. This is a great overnight park. It's right on the highway but since we didn't go outside I don't know if there was noise. I didn't hear any. Owner was very friendly and helpful. She walked us out to the site to see if we liked it. The sited are about 24' wide, and at first glance seemed a bit short. She explained they were designed to accommodate any length rig. The road is very wide and you are expected to adjust your rig to fit where you need it (for utilities). While you appear to hanging out in the road (because the grass divider is short) you aren't. A little disconcerting but it worked. The sites and roads are gravel. The laundry and showers were clean. The Wi-Fi worked. If this park were paved and had more grass I would rate it higher. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The owners were very nice and helpful. He escorted us to our site. The restrooms were absolutely spotless. We'd definitely stay overnight again on our way north. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice check in, what a great gentleman! Spaces were clean and had easy access. A must see is Angel Lake, what a beauty! A lot of full timers, a sad sign of the times. We plan to come back again next year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Extremely clean and new bathrooms and showers. Friendly staff. Simple campground that is what it is: a good stop on the way to somewhere else. My wife was pleased with the cleanliness and she is very hard to please! Park has some long term residents but all are newer rigs on uncluttered sites, not creepy like some places. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The pros: Nicely appointed and spotlessly clean restrooms and showers; owners extremely nice and helpful; Wi-Fi outstanding. The cons: Basically, a gravel parking lot with a lot of permanent residents [not that I have anything against a park renting to long-term residents--I don't! But it does affect the overall appearance and ambiance of a park]. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice owners,gravel sites and pads and not a lot of room between sites. 50 amp was marginal, good water pressure and neighbor said Wi-Fi was good. Could use a little maintenance on interior roads. The owner said he could park any size rig when I called him ahead of time. True, if you don,t mind hanging out into the street! Close to the freeway,but a/c drowned out noise. Also made for easy on/off freeway. We would consider staying on an overnight basis again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great little campground right off the highway. Easy in and out. No trees or shade. Long pull-through sites for big rigs. No need to unhook. Owners are very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend for an overnight stop. We camped here in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Ok park for overnight or exploring the Ruby Mts. Too close to the I-80 if you want to sleep in or sit outside. Wifi worked and so did my Aircard at about the same speed. Good cell and Sat. reception (Verizon). A shuttle will pick you up if you want to go to the casino. We might stay here again if we need to get an early start in the morning. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Well kept park. It is right by I-80 so some traffic noise. Staff was friendly and escorted us to our spot. We ask for a pull-thru so we didn't have to unhook tow. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We accidentally posted this review to "Angel Lake", the site above this one on RV Park Reviews. This is the correct review for this park: Absolutely some of the friendliest folks we have ever met. When we pulled up in front of the office, the daughter of the owner, the owner, and his wife, all came out to greet us. The park is fairly new and has level sites with all hookups. It is nothing fancy, but it has the cleanest restrooms we have ever seen and the best free Wi-Fi we have encountered. Not much to do in Wells, but this is a superb overnight stop. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great RV park for a stop over. It is located right off the highway and has all the amenities including cable and wifi. Owners were very helpful and nice. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The previous review of this park was so good we had to go and see it. So we did and got a bit of a shock - this campground is essentially on top of the mountain and it is accessed by a steep, relatively narrow, 2 lane, well paved road up the side of the mountain with rock on one side and nothing on the other. Judging by the large number of local people, that we enjoyed Sunday afternoon there, they were not concerned by the road. BUT, if I had met another motor home on the road we might still be there deciding who had the nerve to back up. Apart from the road, the campground experience was great. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very new trailer park. Owners very friendly. All sites were pull through. Rest rooms and showers were the cleanest I have ever seen. It was very windy when we camp there, and the pilot went out several times. You are right next to I-80 and could hear the trucks and train through out the night. I left the AC fan on all night to baffle the noise. Good place to stay for 1-2 nights We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Arrived after dark and man at desk guided me to space with a flashlight. He also offered to assist me in hooking up. Absolutely cleanest and most modern rest room facilities I've ever encountered. WiFi free and worked well. Several cable TV channels. Would rate this park a 10 were the streets paved and pads of asphalt or concrete. Desert setting with lots of gravel. New park so trees don't offer any shade at this time. Great place to stop overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New park, it is one year old. Easy off/on to I-80. The sites are very level. The sites are close and are gravel. The bathrooms should be used as a model for other parks, they are very clean. The owner/hosts are very nice and friendly. The park is next to the freeway, so road noise can be an issue. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We would have rated this park higher if the sites were longer. We could barely park our truck in our space. None of the spaces are long enough for large motorhomes with towed vehicles. There was quite a lot of noise from the adjacent I-80 freeway. The free WiFi worked well but the Cable TV offered did not include local NBC, CBS or ABC channels. The restrooms, showers and laundry were the cleanest I've ever seen. The owners were especially friendly and helpful. We believe the best thing the park owners could do for their new business is to reconfigure their property to contain fewer, but larger, sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Absolutely beautiful US Forest Service Campground, just outside of Wells NV. The park is in a lovely setting, with a jagged cliff rising above the campground with a waterfall running down into a small, deep lake with lots of trout. There are no amenities here, no hookups etc, but the sites are large with a fair amount of privacy between them. All the sites have a paved concrete slab for the picnic table and fire rings. The parking pads are asphalt as are the roads. This is a beautiful spot to park and get off the interstate (about 12 miles off I 80) and enjoy some peace and quiet. Nice hiking trails too. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent one night here on our way to Yuma. The owner is very friendly and helpful. The park is far enough from I-80 that traffic noise is not a problem. Also, there is a Flying-J located 3 miles east of the park on I-80. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you like wide open spaces, scenic vistas, & peace and quiet this park is for you. If you require luxury amenities you should probably head to another destination. At the very reasonable rate charged here the park exceeds what 95% of parks with similar rates will provide. It's a great place to experience what the high desert country has to offer, which is a lot if you are interested enough to see it. Great sunrises and sunsets along with the occasional robust weather of the area. We stopped to spend the night and stayed a month. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Good, quiet campground. Owner was very helpful and park was extremely clean. No cable but good reception from antenna. Would stay again if in area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped here in a 40' motorhome with 4 slides and a tow vehicle. We were in site 17. Had a table. Site was gravel, sporadic grass, and weeds. Campground was initially bare of RVs or tents. Pretty quiet and host was friendly. Showers were being painted. Nothing much around to see or do. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Passport America site. Very handy to Interstate 80. Apparently not much RV traffic around, as we were only the second unit into camp for the night. Mostly gravel park, some grass sites, but they were being irrigated. Plenty of room all around in the pull throughs. The hosts were very friendly and the park was neat and tidy. Our only complaint were the little, bitty ants that invaded us. We found the dog food full of them when we stopped for lunch the next day. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We pulled in and were allowed to pick a spot. When we tried to hook up to the the power box our electrical security system wouldn't allow us to use the power. We changed to a different site in the back (metered) but our security stystem still wouldn't allow the power to come on. This has always been a favorite stop for us when traveling because it's quiet with very little road noise. We hated to leave and I'm not happy to report this issue with the electrical system there. I just thought people should know that there was a problem for us. We moved to another park and didn't encounter a problem there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our second stay here. We were the only overnight guests. Big, grass and gravel sites with great views. No shade for the pull through sites, but lots of trees for tenter's. Each site has a picnic table. Good Verizon phone and air card signal. We paid the Passport America rate, which is also offered to Escapees. Nothing to do here but sit in the shade of a green tree on the green grass and take in the views - which is why we will return when our travels bring us this way again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An Oasis in the middle of nowhere. Very helpful owners. Great 9 hole golf course within 1 mile. Was unable to connect to WiFi. Operator Trouble.. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is just west of Wells and is very quiet. No highway or train noise at rear of park. Park is a little run down but had everything we needed. On the night we were there, we were the only ones in the entire park. The sites for tents looked especially nice - grass and lots of trees. At 7:00 pm the gate is locked so no one else can register. (There is another road in and out of the park for campers.) Enjoyed the peace and privacy. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is a beautiful, serene place and we plan to stay there again, even though it only has 30 amp electric and 2 inch sewer pipes. When you dump you have to go slowly to avoid overflow. The facilities are dated and need to be upgraded, but the owners are trying to sell the place and retire so it will probably be a while. But if you want a fixer upper campground you should look at this one. It's a wonderful location and with some improvements could be a resort. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice lady named Beverly owns and runs this friendly place. She does not like you to come at night. The park is about 6 miles west of Wells. You can see the trains way in the distance and watch them and you can see the interstate but the park is so far from each that no noise can be heard unless it is from wildlife. Very peaceful and western with views of the night skies perfect and the crested wheat in the field on one side of the grounds. On another side is Angel Mt where snow can sometimes be seen on top (from your site in the park) even in July. We have stayed here quite a few times when out west. The first time was for a couple of nights and stayed a month. After that it usually was a month at least. One time we stayed 3 months. A good restaurant is in Wells at the Casino. It is a truck stop type with great food. There are other campggrounds in town with wi-fi and cable which is not available at Beverly Hills but the trade off is worth it. We used our Verizon cell phones for internet and our dish to get TV. If you want a place away from all the hustle and noise, this place is it. The sites are a little unlevel but can be dealt with. The only real minus is . . . field mice in the fall want to get inside. Now that we know it we set traps outside and they do not come in. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is not much more than a gravel lot with hook-ups. Spaces are pull through but tight and would be extremely difficult to maneuver if it filled up. All that being said the couple that manage the place were wonderful, helped us get in our space after a long, tiring day. As an overnight stop this was a perfect, no-thrills place to be. The manager did tell us that they expect to be very busy with longer term residents in the future as construction workers for a pipeline will be coming into the area soon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Small campground. No amenities. Strictly a spot to stay overnight. For this, it is fine. Sites were level and in good care. Restrooms were clean. Couple who are caretakers were very accommodating. We stayed here as Coast to Coast members, and would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a membership campground and the $11 we paid is the RPI price including tax. This is a no-frills park, but a great place for a night or two. We've stayed here before, so knew what to expect. There is now a couple living on-site as managers and they are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The park is basically a gravel parking lot with full hook-ups (30 amp only) and a couple of shade trees. Big rigs would have no problem as there's plenty of room to pull forward in the space to clear the utility poles. We've stayed here several times before and have never found the park full. This time there were only 2 other RVs there. There are restrooms and showers, but no laundry facilities; however, there is a laundry a couple blocks from the park. My Verizon air card worked flawlessly there, but we were told the park was planning to put in wi-fi next year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This place is very close to the railroad tracks and we heard the very loud trains and their whistles many times during the night. There were a few full-time RVs here, but not too bad. The Wi-Fi worked well after we had the attendant reboot the server. The spaces are very tight and we could not have put out our awning if we wanted to. Luckily it wasn't too hot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We came in under Pass Port and the rate we paid reflects that program. The park is small but laid out so large rigs can maneuver without much problem. Our site was level and the wifi was strong from where we parked. The cable TV was clear with plenty of channels. The roads and sites are gravel but we did not experience any dust issues. The office staff was friendly helpful. We would return to this park should we be in the area again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a small campground and well cared for. They had just put down fresh gravel and the grass between each site had no weeds. When our slide hit some of the branches in the pine tree, I asked if we could trim it and they said 'yes'. I decided to 'check out' the restrooms and I was awestruck they were so nice! They were clean, all tile and huge for such a small campground-the very nicest we have seen in our full time travels of six years! We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Adequate for our needs. We parked in a pull thru with our pickup and 24 ft trailor w/slideout. Spent one night and would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is fine for one night if you cannot find anything else. The sites were very crowded. There were dogs barking and a black lab ran loose the whole time we were there. I would not stay there again. We did not have room for our slideout. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a good stop over RV Park. The sites are narrow and you need to watch the tree limbs. The Passport America rate was not a full 50% off the going nightly rate, but was reasonable. The Cable TV signal was good. The town of Wells has seen it's best days many years ago. The 3 truck stops, 1 Casino and 2 Nevada Houses of the night are about all that's left. The main street of the town was in ruin. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The rate is a Good Neighbor rate (thru coast to coast). Although this is a nice clean park with wonderful staff it is a little tight for big rigs. We have a 40' Motorhome with four slides and because of the trees we could not bring out one of our slides. They could trim the trees up higher and it might help. On the electric pedestals the 30 amp was towards the back but if you want 50 amp it was way to the front. We were lucky we had an extension cord. Most were just hooking to the 30 amp instead of messing with it. Not much in Wells but we did take a drive up to Angel Lake which was nice. The park filled up almost every night with over-nighters so I would suggest reservations. Big Rigs be careful and bring an extension cord. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly office staff. We stayed for one night just passing through. Sites are a bit tight. Be careful of overhanging tree limbs. We seemed to be the only people in some time to be willing to pick up our dog's business. I doubt we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wells is pretty much dying, but this is a nice little spot. The owners were quite friendly and helpful. There's a grocery within walking distance and you can gas up, etc. Everything worked fine. Great spot to stop, but I'd call ahead as there are a lot of people who use it on their way across N Nevada and it does seem to fill up. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice small campground. Only downside is the trains very close to CG. Only had two, one during daylight, one at night, but loud. Reservations suggested. I saw several rigs turned away, on a Monday night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a small park but it has long sites available if you need them. The office staff is cordial, helpful and very friendly. This is a stopover place for most people, but it is a nice, clean place with wifi. We would stop here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
RV park is well located with easy access from interstate 80. Super clean park, level sites, superior management. We have stayed there 3 times with pleasant experiences. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We only give this location a rating of 4 because of the friendly service and clean location. Traveling from Lake Tahoe to Jackson Hole, this looked to be the best middle point to stop. However, starting at 12:30 in the morning and every hour thereafter trains came past the park with loud and continuous air horns sounding. Do not stop here without earplugs if you plan on any sleep. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great little RV park. Nice owners, quiet, clean, well-maintained and excellent WiFi service which had been installed shortly before our visit. Will definitely stay here again when we next head across Nevada. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A nice enough little place, but a little too close to the railroad tracks for our taste. The people were great, very helpful and accommodating. But the sites are pretty close together, and the railroad tracks are within 100 feet of the end of the facility. We just couldn't get used to the noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly helpful staff. Old fashion hospitality. Weather permitting nightly campfire. Restrooms very clean. Small laundry room w/ putdoor clothesline. Lots of trees and green grass. Oasis in Nevada. We camped here in a Motorhome.
