Wheeler Peak Campground
I just reading on this site that Wheeler Peak Campground is ranked the number one campsite in the state of Nevada.
Spectacular! Drive up the scenic Wheeler Peak Drive and step into another facet of Nevada. You start in semi-desert areas with sagebrush, piñon pines and junipers. Keep climbing and they give way to spruce and Douglas fir. Up top it is extremely beautiful with quaking aspen, limber pine and spruce intermingling in a dense forest, uncharacteristic of Nevada. This whole mountain looks as if it were transplanted out of Colorado somewhere.
Now doesn’t that sound awesome? I searched around and found some pictures also.
This definitely looks like a campground that we have to add to our list of trips.

We are two people who love to go camping and hiking. We love the outdoors, and we are working on becoming as green as we can be.

August 21, 2007 @ 9:25 amWhat was cool to me the first time I saw mountains out west were that they were “naked”. Mountains around here are covered in trees, pine trees, brush, maple trees, oak trees…just trees, trees, tress and green. So the first time I saw a mountain out in Colorado, I was like…oh my gosh. it’s a huge rock! It’s naked!
