Angel Lake (Humboldt-toiyabe National Forest, NV)

An amazing location! Very peaceful, and each campsite is fairly private. Gorgeous swimming in the lake, and only an hour hike to another, even more secluded lake.

Of the 5 campgrounds I stayed at during my road trip, this was by far the favorite. Perfect little oasis high in the desert. And the best smelling pit toilets (and cleanest) I've ever experience. Note the directions on the site as google maps tried to get me to go on very rough roads through fields. Luckily someone was kind enough to put a sign up about a closed gate and to go to the next highway exit. Then the road was great, winding with tight curves though (and not maintained in winter), so maybe not good for large campers/RVs.

Angel Lake was such a surprise find! Gorgeous location high on a mountain, which we did not expect for Nevada. The campground is beautiful, well maintained, and we had a great site.

Angel Lake was beautiful and the nearby hike was also beautiful. The campsite was clean and well maintained. Just know that the road that leads up to the campsite is steep and curvy. It does not have a shoulder or guard rail. It was a little uncomfortable to look over the side of the road and see how far the fall would be if you took a turn to fast or lost control. That being said, the road is paved and well maintained during the summer (when I went).
