The camp host was extremely rude and unprofessional. I don’t think going around yelling at the campers makes for a good experience. Or screaming at the top of her lungs through the entire camp site the quiet hours, when it was an hour away from quiet time.

We have been traveling most all summer and needed a cooler place for a couple of weeks. We chose Angel Lake Campground in Nevada. It’s over 7000 feet and it has a wonderful small lake. Several of the sites are first come first serve and most are fairly level. Most days there are boards and kayaks on the lake, along with fisherman.
The bathrooms were well maintained by Deborah, the campground host. She did a fantastic job.
The only downfall to this campground it is at the top of a pretty high mountain road that has no guard rails. Seriously take it slow up and down.

Angel Lake is a great little campground. Sunrise is gorgeous and a quick dip in the lake is so refreshing! There is no shade unless you bring it, and the desert sun is hot. The driveways, table and tent pads are paved or tightly packed base rock that is too hard to use beach umbrellas. There are no trees to tie a tarp to, only hip to chest-high shrubs.

The drive up to the campground is not for the faint hearted, but I made it up in my little Chevy Malibu. The road has switchbacks, steep grades, and no guard rails. However, it all pays off when you get to the campground. The views of the waterfall, Angel Lake, and the surrounding mountains are spectacular. Take time for a hike up to the waterfall and a dip in the lake. The bathrooms were clean. The camp host was friendly and helpful. My site had a flat gravel area perfect for a tent. My only suggestion is to find ways to make your own shade and reduce the daytime heat. If you're tent camping, leave your rain fly off during the day or swarms of insects will find it a lovely place to gather. Be sure to wake up early to catch the sunrise!
