People need to realize that this is remote Nevada. There are few trails, trail heads, developments or services. It is a long way from the little isolated town of Jarbidge to the wilderness area. Most people in Nevada think of Jarbidge as the wilderness not the town site.
If you want to go hiking, go ahead. There is no guide book or named trails. There are a few main trails in the wilderness area but they have no names or signs. The recent fires have burned up a lot of it. A USFS campground will get you a picnic table and maybe an outhouse. This is going to disappoint most RVers. There is really nothing out there. If you are not serious about boondocking you will not like it.
Last winter was extremely wet and the roads got torn up by hunters with big horse trailers and RVs. It is open country with a lot of sagebrush even at high elevations. There is little water around in summer. The fires have taken most of the trees. It is not really a suitable place for an RV vacation, especially not now.
I agree with Dan .... it sounds like Heaven!
We don't need anything to do except look for rocks in the daytime, and in the evenings sit outside around the propane firepit eating S'mores or sit cozy inside reading books with a cold drink.
It also sounds very much like Earthroamer country ... bring it on! ;)
