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.

It is an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy a rustic, back-to-basics approach to camping in the great Southwest.
