Cutting through the middle of the 27,000 acres El Mirage OHV Recreation Area, Mountain View Road has ten improved multi-site dry campgrounds with shade covers, benches, and grills along its length while providing access to the many trails in the area. As the road climbs, expansive views of the El Mirage dry lake and the snow-capped San Bernardino Mountains are revealed.
The road is wide and graded flat, allowing passenger and recreational vehicles with trailers to reach the campsites and the large staging areas on either side of the road.
There is a $15 charge for one day/night access to the area. Dispersed camping is also available on the many rugged trails throughout the area.
