Angel Creek Campground is located on the grassy foothills of the East Humboldt Mountain Range, just eight miles southwest of Wells, Nev. It sits at an elevation of 6,200 feet. Visitors enjoy making the short drive to Angel Lake for canoeing and fishing.
Beautiful Angel Lake is just four miles from the campground, offering great canoeing and fishing for rainbow and brook trout.
Greys Lake Trail, a 4.75-mile round-trip path to a hidden alpine lake, begins at Angel Lake.
A variety of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, mountain goats, deer and birds of prey, make its home around the lake, creating good viewing opportunities for visitors to the area.
The campground provides vault toilets and drinking water. Each campsite contains a picnic table and combination campfire ring with grill. Most sites have tent pads. Firewood is available for purchase from the host.
No trash collection is available. If you pack it in, please pack it out.
The tent only group camping area can accommodate up to 30 people and six tents. There is parking for six vehicles. The site contains picnic tables, a group fire ring and family grill. The site is handicap accessible. If not reserved, the site can be used on a first-come, first-served basis for group camping or day use picnics.
The campground is situated among mature aspens, which offer partial shade and beautiful fall color. Wildflowers dot the area during the summer months.
Take Interstate 80 to the West Wells exit. Turn south on Angel Lake Road (State Route 231) and travel 8 miles to Angel Creek. Turn left and follow the road for one mile to the campground.
I had a hard time finding this one my GPS would not bring me to the right place. Kept bringing me to someones backyard! Finally got someone on the phone and told me to plug in the street instead of the campground. Easy enough. Bathrooms very clean but no mirrors! The location is beautiful and in some spots you can be lucky with one bar. I car camped here as a solo single female and felt very safe.
High elevation, cool temperatures. Good privacy. Water was down when we were there. The cleanest vault toilets we have ever seen. Some mosquitoes at night in late June.
Pay attention to signage on I-80 East to avoid the wrong exit (GPS is wrong). No drinkable water, but the toilets were ok. No paper slip on our fence post, despite us having a reservation, so it’s a good thing nobody poached our spot by the time we arrived in the evening- Definitely call ahead if you’re concerned about that. Cows didn’t bother us. Great location!
