Very pleasant RV Park. Wife and I stoped here For the night traveling home from our Yellowstone…read morevacation. The reception was fantastic (Jan) greeted us and showed to camp spot. Little tight but manageable. It's just for the night. The restrooms are nice simple but very clean and well maintained. Will be taking a shower here in a bit. Nice little office store with some local art and trinkets. Ice cream and sodas available for purchase. There is also a Welcome museum and walking tour. It is very close off the freeway yet far enough to block some of the major noise. Occasionally you hear a trucker running the rumble strip but that's it. Definitely a great stop to park for the night. September 24 2026 Tom & Jerri

Holy smokes this place is awesome! I would give welcome Station RV Park at 10 if I could. They are…read morea beautiful oasis in the middle of a very large high planes desert. The grass is well maintain the trees are big. There's a beautiful little creek that runs adjacent to it, but the wind and the trees at night were just spectacular. We didn't use the bathroom facilities, so I can't applaud that, but the people were just sweet and everything about this place says come back. Wish every little RV park was like this one. This is our second visit in five years and you never know, but if anything it's gotten better. The staff is wonderful. The cookies on the windshield this morning were just a super treat that I had forgotten happened here. They've checked all the boxes. You won't be disappointed.

Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge has over 37 thousand acres. With around 15 thousand of those…read moreacres being Ruby Lake. Ruby Lake is a marsh. Ducks love this marsh and it is popular for nesting. While we were on the lake we saw ducks in the grasslands. It is a beautiful place to spend a few hours at. We didn't go far because it became very windy. They have a visitor center that you can visit. We were kayaking here and really think being on the water is the way to experience this lake. This lake has trout and bass which seem to be pretty large. If you want to visit a spacious and scenic part of Nevada then we highly recommend this refuge.

We went on this County Rd to see what's out at Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge. We soon stopped…read moreat the Main Boat Landing and grabbed some maps which is important. We missed Fort Ruby & the Narciss Boat Landing. At the Main Boat Landing there's bathrooms, boat ramp & maps/info on a kiosk. There were some fishermen in their boats. From the brochure: "located in the Great Basin of the West, Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge is a wetland oasis in NV's high desert. This remarkable refuge lies along the eastern flank of the scenic, snow-capped Ruby Mtns." There's lots of birds: We saw some American avocet, White-faced ibis, Coots, & Canvasback, many others couldn't ID. We didn't see mammals, reptiles, amphibians, or fish but they are there somewhere. We did a short auto tour to see the Marsh on a dirt road on our way to Harrison Pass Rd. Best time to see waterfowl & their young is from May-July. Nesting & migrating songbirds best observed during May-June. Sept-Oct can be up to 25,000 waterfowl & coots. Location: Ruby Lk Refuge is located in the south Ruby Valley, 65 mi SE of Elko & 100 miles NW of Ely in Northeastern NV.

Nestled deep in the heart of the Ruby Mountains, the Lamoille Canyon picnic area is a rugged gem…read morethat whispers serenity to those who listen. We arrived just after a group had packed up, and to our delight, the grounds were impressively clean--proof that some still honor the wilderness code. But as we wandered with our dogs, soaking in the alpine air and golden light filtering through the aspens, we spotted the occasional blemish: a forgotten sock here, a stray water bottle there. Remnants of carelessness that jarred against the canyon's quiet dignity. We didn't come to clean, but we couldn't leave it behind. Half a garbage bag later, we left the place better than we found it--because that's what stewards of the wild do. Still, it stings to see such beauty treated like a backdrop for convenience. Lamoille deserves reverence, not neglect. Despite that, the canyon remains breathtaking. Towering cliffs, whispering pines, and trails that beckon the soul to roam. We'll be back--next time, hopefully to simply enjoy, not to restore. Until then, may others tread lightly and leave no trace. In a quote from Chief Seattle, "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children".

Best bet is to drive up in June-July when the snow is almost done melting. Water rush is good. The…read morepicnic area has a lot of places to post up with your fam near the water. By every table is water if you walk into the forest ( I didn't know that). You can camp. You can hike to the lake at the top. There's also little hikes on your way up that are not as hard.

There is nothing fancy about this park. It is older, and could use some TLC. We stayed for one…read morenight in a pull through site with full hook-ups, and had a fairly quiet night. That's all we really needed, and everything worked without issues. Upon arrival, the office was closed. I called the number on the door and the person said she would be back to the office later and would settle up with me on my check in reservation then. I had prepaid online when I reserved the site, so this contact was to just close the loop I guessed. I watched for a car at the office, but she came by in a golf cart before I was able to walk over. She was friendly and handed me the rules of the park. The roads and sites are all gravel/dirt. The weeds are growing, so I was careful about walking my dog off the roadways. There were many long term residents in the park with a few overnight spots up front. There are several trees that overhang sites and roads to watch out for as you drive through and park. There are not many options in Wells, so I'd probably choose this location again if I'm in the area.

If you want a fairly decent night's sleep, a clean site, a useable picnic table ...forget this…read moreplace. Being on a cross country trip, we are used to an occasional distant, or fairly close train, have been up against the sound barrier of freeways, in areas where the park's majority leave at 5 AM and never bothered us so I am not thinking I should be in the wilderness but... this morning after 4AM 4 Hugh trains went through blowing their horns, blinking their lights, forget sleeping, every time one passed another ... I thank god for out transportation system, but fell I should have been warned I was almost sleeping on the side of the tracks! Mostly, full time, lots of old rigs, picnic tables were old, paint peeling and wood warped ... sorry but I felt no pride here ... never checked the facilities, so no comment... Very convenient to the hi-way and a a Flying J
