Getting Up the Mountain

Camp de Benneville Pines is located about 90 minutes from Redlands, California, up Highway 38. The drive is beautiful but mountainous — please plan carefully!

During Registration, you’ll be asked to let us know whether you’ll be driving yourself up the mountain or will need assistance coordinating transportation.

Important

• Cell service is limited after you leave Redlands. Download or print your directions ahead of time​.

• Carry tire chains from October–May (they’re required by law in case of snow).

• Drive slowly and safely — plan extra time to enjoy the view!

Full directions will be provided in your Camper Packet.
