I was only a guest scientist at LBL, but LBL is practically in Berkeley. But yeah, generally I assume this is true, though you may just find that you need a car and that if you have one it's not so bad. For instance, NREL (where I was also briefly a guest scientist) is in an incredibly gorgeous area near Golden which isn't super small but everything is still very spread out and it'd take a while to walk anywhere for sure. I guess it also depends on your definition of "middle of nowhere" I suppose. Golden is hardly Oakland, but I am pretty sure I could find people to date as long as I included Denver... and if you have a car in Colorado you will find that Denver is considered close to a lot of things you might not at first consider it close to. It's only an hour drive from Boulder (where I lived and drove to NREL as needed).
