It’s the woods. Dry and high. Definitely want something a little more rugged to get up to the camping site. Good dirt biking for small bikes and short rides.

This place has turned into one of my favorite campsites. A little rough going in but doable. The pyramid peak rd route is by far the preferred route. Once you arrive it’s all worth it. Peace, quiet and beauty all around. It’s the best medicine for body, heart and soul.

Great campsites. I would recommend 4x4, but a 2WD SUV or Truck with decent clearance can get by if you take it slow and it’s dry. Very secluded. Love the peacefulness and the views.

Be prepared for a LONG bumpy scary rutted rocks boulders dirt sand cliffs steep hillsides, nasty little bugs, misquitos, beautiful skies day and night, big valley views, indian reservation territory with locked gates, the destruction of previous forest fires, amazing steep mtn sides with giant tall trees, sticker bushes , sunrises,sunsets, and dust! Great jeep road, no low chastity vehicles, no bald tires, need good shocks, sunglasses, binoculars, good head lamps, and you will be in isolation....from one side of the road entrance by Lake Hemet, to the other side of the ridge near Paradise Valley, it will take 5 hours . Do not drive FAST. Horses, hikers, bicyclists, and general lost wanderers use the road to the Thomas Mtn campgrounds as well. Not for the impatient or l weak hearted souls.
