About This Location

Experience primitive riverside camping at The Forks Campground, located along the scenic East Fork of the Jarbidge River in Nevada.

The Forks Campground offers a true escape into the rugged beauty of the Nevada wilderness. Situated directly on the banks of the East Fork of the Jarbidge Wild and Scenic River, this primitive site provides a quiet, secluded atmosphere perfect for those looking to disconnect from the modern world. The terrain is accessible to two-wheel drive vehicles, making it a convenient destination for travelers seeking a remote riverfront experience just north of Murphy Hot Springs.

As a completely primitive BLM site, The Forks Campground does not offer hookups, facilities, or listed amenities. Visitors should arrive fully self-sufficient, prepared to pack out all trash and provide their own water and supplies. Because of the limited infrastructure, this location is best suited for tent campers and car campers who prioritize solitude and natural surroundings over modern creature comforts.

Whether you are looking to enjoy the soothing sounds of the Jarbidge River or simply want a basecamp for exploring the surrounding landscape, this site offers a minimalist retreat. It is an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy a rustic, back-to-basics approach to camping in the great Southwest.
