It is a nice place for off roading, camping and hiking. It has beautiful views, I really like it.

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.

Questions & Answers

I have a Chrysler Pacifica, would i have enough clearance to make the drive?

Hard to say. There is a few rutted out areas and without all wheel drive or 4x4 you may have trouble on the uneven terrain. I wouldn't attempt it.

What's the best season to camp in Thomas mountain?

It's pretty cold up there in the winter. The temperature in summer and early fall is nice, but there are sometimes fire restrictions. Late spring, maybe?
