Camping near Wells guide

Where to go

Angel Lake, East Humboldt and Ruby Mountains

Campers can drive from Wells along the vista-filled 13-mile Angel Lake Scenic Byway to the Angel Lake Recreation Area for hiking, backpacking, wildlife spotting, fishing, and paddling around Angel Lake in the East Humboldt Mountains of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. The seasonal Angel Creek Campground and Angel Lake Recreation Area offer sites for both tent and RV campers. Further south, the Ruby Mountains offer additional opportunities for outdoor recreation and four developed campgrounds. Or head into the backcountry to pitch a tent.

North to Idaho

Head north across the Nevada-Idaho border for the wide plains, river canyons and a wide range of outdoor activities. Explore the Snake River, Snake River Canyon, and Shoshone Falls around Twin Falls, Idaho or head into the wilderness for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and hunting in the south hills of the Sawtooth National Forest, where several developed campgrounds are available for tent and RV campers.

Bonneville Salt Flats

For speed enthusiasts, the Bonneville Salt Flats just over the Nevada-Utah border is a must-visit, particularly in late summer and early fall when several speed events are held. The surreal salt flats also draw photographers, adventurers, and outdoor enthusiasts. There’s no parking on the salt flats itself, but dispersed parking is available along the access road, and at the Lost Boys Peak and the Rishel Peak campsites. RV parks can also be found around West Wendover.

When to go

Spring, summer, and fall offer pleasant weather for exploring outdoors. Visit in spring for dazzling wildflower displays and fall for colorful foliage around Angel Lake and Lamoille Canyon. The Angel Lake Scenic Byway is usually open from June to October. Many campgrounds are also closed over the winter, though opportunities for winter and snow sports are available. The Bonneville Speed Week is held in August, with several other speed events in September and October.
