High Desert Escape

1 site ¡ Tent40 acres ¡ Wells, NV
My 40-acre property has a convenient dirt road running right through it, and you get it all to yourself. The area is beautiful and the terrain is stunning with views of several mountain peaks. It's located just outside of Deeth, NV and about an hour either from Elko or Wells. If you're seeking a bit of peaceful solace, this just might be the place for you. This is raw land, with lots of sagebrush around. You might have to hunt around for a place to park and camp. You're more than welcome to clear any of the vegetation and make your own spot as well.

RV Camping Near Murdock Mountain

It's about an hour from West Wendover where you can gamble to your heart's content.  The land itself is 10 acres and has a BLM dirt road which runs right through it, so it should be very accessible for RVs subject to weather conditions. It's a perfect spot to hike to the top of Murdock Mountain, which is about 10 miles (about 3.5 hours) to the peak. This is raw land with no improvements. The terrain may be rough so best to park with care and during daylight.For some drone footage, look up "APN 010-36F-048" on YouTube.

Cottonwood Ranch

17 sites ¡ RVs, TentsJackpot, NV
Situated in the heart of Nevada’s Great Basin, Cottonwood is a fifth generation working horse and cattle ranch. For the last two decades the Smith family has opened their doors to guests from around the world.  The wide-open space affords visitors the opportunity to set aside their busy lifestyles and reconnect with themselves and nature.  Throughout the years Cottonwood Ranch has undergone many changes.  Recently we have decided to step back from the dude ranch structure and provide a place for guests to camp and enjoy the surrounding environment on their own.    It is a family operated ranch so young and the old can be found around the ranch engrossed in varies activities.  Horses, dogs, cows, and a wide variety of birds are a given to be seen but you might get lucky and catch a glimpse of antelope, mule deer, elk, or even a moose.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent at Cottonwood Ranch in O'Neil Basin.  Family owned and operated the 30 mile long dirt driveway is well worth the trip.  The RV and campsites are located adjacent to the barnyard area. It is a very laid back, non- fancy, rustically ranch atmosphere.  We invite you to share in what we call home and make your self at home during your stay.  There are full service RV spots and available camping sites to pitch a tent.  RV sites are $40/night and camping $20/night.  The headquarters of the ranch is surrounded by private meadows used for livestock and wildlife throughout the year.  Cottonwood Creak meanders along side the corral down through the heart of the meadows.  Irrigation ditches run close by the camp sites which makes for a fun splash pad for the kiddos.  Access to the wilderness trail-heads varies upon direction of drive, the longest perhaps a 1 1/2 hr drive to the boundary looking out across the Jarbidge Peaks.  There is also miles upon miles of 2-track roads that traverse the foothills ideal for ATV use.Horses are usually wrangled out of the meadows everyday for various ranch work but you would have a chance to view the horses while in the corral.  Upon inquiry during your stay there might be other activities going on such as helping feed orphaned calves, pet a horse, livestock sorting, etc.Dogs are a big part of the ranch.  Most of the resident dogs are working livestock dogs border collie mix type dogs.  They are all very friendly.

Camping near Wells guide

Overview

With its convenient location at the intersection of I-80 and US-93, the small town of Wells in northeast Nevada is certainly easy to get to, though often just in passing. Visitors who linger will find the headwaters of the Humboldt River, hidden hot springs, luxury guest ranches, scenic driving routes, miles of hiking, biking, and off-roading trails, plenty of fishing, hunting, and wildlife, and easy access to mountains, forests, and wilderness terrain ripe for outdoor exploration. Campers will find diverse options in and around Wells, from in-town RV parks to nearby forest-service and BLM campgrounds, and plenty of wilderness and backcountry.

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.
