Boone Road is the main eastern entry into California’s Johnson Valley OHV Area, a legendary off-road destination best known for the annual King of the Hammers event. Year-round, it serves as a gateway into vast desert terrain and offers easy access for all kinds of vehicles, including RVs, trailers, rock crawlers, and overland rigs. The road is wide, flat, and beginner-friendly, leading to the iconic lakebed and some of the most challenging trails in the country, including the infamous Hammers.
Whether you're exploring or camping, Boone Road delivers a true desert experience. It cuts through open terrain framed by rocky hills and dry lake beds, drawing adventurers from all over. Just past the bridge, the road opens into flat, level ground that’s perfect for dispersed camping. There’s plenty of room for tents, trailers, rooftop setups, and RVs under the vast desert sky.
