The campground is in a beautiful setting featuring views of steep, rocky mountains and ribbons of waterfalls that feed a small lake contained in a dammed glacier-carved cirque. We
visited here in 2016 when the campground was still closed for the season and liked it so much that we knew we’d be back.
The campground is small and fills quickly so make reservations or arrive early. Only one site is designated as accessible but since the tables and fire rings are set on concrete patios many sites are useable. A short, graveled, accessible trail that starts at the day parking lot follows the edge of the lake for about 800’ before becoming too narrow for wheelchairs. The other trails are not accessible.
The road from Well Nevada climbs for 12 miles and gains about 3,000’ before dead ending at the lake. Its's suitable for any RV except for the last few miles where there are steep drop offs and no guard rails. The sites in the campground are small but there are some long enough for 35’ RVs.
Angel Creek Campground is a good alternative for people with larger RVs or a fear of heights.

It's one of my favorite places, but I've never been able to take a photo that does it justice.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know. There is no way to capture it in a photograph.
DeleteI had to go look - you did better than I did but where are the waterfalls? Do they dry up in late summer?
I didn't know there were waterfalls.
