Angel Lake Campground is located next to beautiful Angel Lake, high on the East Humboldt Mountain Range. It sits at an elevation of 8,400 feet, just 12 miles from the city of Wells, in northeast Nevada. Visitors enjoy canoeing, fishing, hiking and viewing wildlife. Recreation Angel Lake offers great canoeing and fishing for rainbow and brook trout. Greys Lake Trail, a 4.75-mile roundtrip path to a hidden alpine lake, begins at the campground entrance. Facilities The campground offers single and double campsites, some of which have lake views. Each site contains a picnic table, campfire ring and grill. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are also provided. Firewood is available for purchase from the campground host. A day-use picnic area is adjacent to the campground, along the lakeshore. Natural Features The campground sits at the foot of rugged and scenic glacial cirques, that top out around 10,000 feet. Dwarf aspens cover the campground, providing privacy between campsites, but little to no shade. A variety of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, mountain goats, deer and birds of prey, make its home around the lake, creating good viewing opportunities. ADA Access: N

It's a beautiful area. I have been stranded in Wells Nevada for over a month now. My van engine locked up and I ended up getting my motorcycle running. My test ride was up to Angel Lake. I loved it up there
We killed it here, caught my first tiger trout. Landed a massive rainbow, all together we caught around 20 trout, threw the small ones back. Air is thin, bring a hoodie the sun sets early
Absolutely beautiful. Words can't describe how amazing and surreal this place is! The road going up has a couple of tight areas but was in excellent condition and the views from the road were jaw dropping! The campground is really nice! The bathrooms are clean!!!! The spots are really nice but there are lots of bushes so be prepared for the bugs and the brave little squirrels!! The lake was just a short walk from the campground. Amazing place to visit, will definitely be back time and time again!
