If you are coming to Nevada in the middle of summer I would head Northeast as mentioned above...Jarbidge area. The Pine Forest along with Sheldon is also a nice place to explore. Camp at Onion Reservoir or Knott Creek Reservoir (both in the Pine Forest range south of Denio)...these are popular fly fishing spots (assuming Onion has water in it...which it didn't last year).

Or East Central NV is great too: Great Basin National Park...higher elevation...the least visited National park! There are also a few State campgrounds over that way: Ward Ovens State Park (really neat historical charcoal ovens here); Cave Lake State Park (I think this one actually has showers).

July & August can be downright ornery hot at anything below 6-7,000'...and dusty (of course).
