The Miramar Marine Air Station Big Bear Recreation Facility offers a unique and peaceful retreat for authorized military personnel and their families. Tucked away in the scenic mountains of Southern California, this private getaway provides a secluded escape from the bustle of daily life, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the high-altitude landscape. The setting is ideal for those seeking a quiet, rustic environment to recharge and reconnect with the outdoors.

Designed primarily for tent and car camping, the facility emphasizes a back-to-basics approach to recreation.
