I have not yet camped in the Wilderness Areas.
I have camped for short stays on BLM land north and east of Reno and Pyramid Lake and north of I 80. Have also camped in winter north and northwest of Black Rock desert. This time of year it is very hot, dry and often strong gusty winds during the day starting around 10 to 11 AM and continue on into the night so I do not camp except spring, fall and winter months and then it is often windy and COLD at nights. Elevations between 4500 ft and 5500ft to 6000ft.
Main BLM/County roads are wide and washboard and secondary roads are usually narrow two wheel trails and often soft sand and/or rutted requiring 4x4. During my explorations I have backed up for many miles as the road/trail became impassable for even regular 4x4 truck.
If your desired locations are really high then day time temps may be not be a problem at this time of year. If you have generator and AC then even better.
This info maybe useful to others if not the OP
