About Wiley'S Well Campground

**Notice:**As of October 15, 2026, Wiley’s Well Road is undergoing maintenance following damage from Post‑Tropical Cyclone Rachel. The road is currently impassable for RVs and trailers. Until repairs are completed by the County of Riverside Transportation Department, visitors are advised to use only 4x4 vehicles and follow all posted county signage. Located in the lower Colorado Desert in eastern Riverside County, Wiley's Well campground is located adjacent to a desert riparian wash populated by palo verde, smoke tree, mesquite and ironwood trees. There is easy 4-wheel drive access to nearby rock-hounding sites: Hauser Geode Beds and Opal Hill Fire Agate Mine. The historic Bradshaw Trail National Scenic Byway provides access to numerous trails, gem and mineral collection sites, and an historic stage route/mining area. Long term permits cost $180 or a short visit permit for $40.
