Tucked away in the rugged wilderness where the East Fork meets the Jarbidge Wild and Scenic River, The Forks Campground offers an intimate escape into untouched nature.

With its small, thoughtfully designed layout, this campground creates an atmosphere where the whisper of the river and the rustle of canyon winds become your closest companions.
The Forks Campground provides primitive camping facilities with 5 basic campsites that include fire pits and picnic tables.
Historical SignificanceWhile the recorded history of this specific campground remains unwritten, visitors find themselves camping in a landscape that has witnessed centuries of stories, from ancient peoples who first traversed these canyons to the miners and adventurers who followed the call of the Jarbidge wilderness.

ElevationPerched at the confluence of river and canyon, The Forks Campground occupies a unique position in the Jarbidge wilderness, where elevation creates its own microclimate of cool river breezes and mountain air.
Natural Features and SceneryDramatic basalt cliffs rise like ancient sentinels on either side of your campsite, their dark volcanic walls telling a story millions of years in the making. The East Fork of the Jarbidge River carves its way through this geological masterpiece, offering crystal-clear pools for wading and prime spots for contemplation. From your tent, watch as golden light paints the canyon walls at sunset, transforming the basalt formations into a natural amphitheater of shadow and stone.
Geological RegionSet within one of Nevada's most spectacular geological formations, The Forks Campground rests at the dramatic intersection where ancient volcanic basalt flows created towering canyon walls. These dark, columnar cliffs frame both the east and main forks of the Jarbidge River, showcasing nature's architectural prowess through layers of prehistoric lava flows that cooled and fractured into the stunning vertical formations visible today.
