The campground is nice and well kept. Bathrooms were super clean and camphost was there, and was helpful and friendly. Unfortunately THRER’S NO POTABLE WATER anymore, and that needs to be clear in the description of the campground. So bring you need to filter lake water (or carry bottled water- not great because adds to plastic pollution) Hikes around are nice but not the amazing canyon walls and rock formations that you find in the other sections of the ruby mountains.

Angel Lake is always a great place to go. The weather in this trip was challenging - rain and strong wind - but that isn’t the fault of the location. Will always return to this place. Privacy, clean bathrooms, a secluded feeling with the spaces we have stayed in.

Angel Lake is a beautiful small lake. The camp spots are very private, with the brush surrounding each spot which makes it even more special. The lake is very clear and it’s real nice that no motorized boats are allowed. We did run into rain on our stay, but it all worked out for us. We plan on going next year.

This place is AMAZING for the views! You are seated right at the base of a towering box canyon. The drive up is not for the faint of heart and I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone with a rig longer than 50 ft. Not sure about class A’s as we have a bumper pull. Come loaded as there is no potable water available anywhere up there. Decent vault toilets. A shame that a lot of people when we were there liked to “share” their music with everyone in the campground. The host could have been more hands on with policing and more available for questions. They were frequently not around.

The night sky was incredible! The brush between campsites made them more private.

Loved camping near the lake, wish the parking lot was included but that's fine the campground it close. The campground host was amazing, very efficient and kind. He also did not just walk around and police everyone but kept things picked up. The spots are nice, and the hike trails nearby are awesome! Fav camping area now

What a beautiful drive up to an incredible mountain lake staged in front of an amazing rhythm of rock formations. Clean toilets and each campsite is quite private and secluded. Hear the howl of coyotes at night on the cliffs under the full moon. What a memorable experience.
