The facilities there include hot showers, restrooms, grills, restaurants and shops. There are also a number of activities and attractions to see and do while visiting Calico Ghost Town. These include a museum, seasonal gold panning, the Maggie Mine, gunfights, and self guided tours. One can spend many wonderful days exploring this wonderful park.

Cucamongo-Guasti is a park in San Bernardino County that can be visited for a wonderful day trip experience. It is here in this 150-acre park that one can while away the hours swimming, fishing, or picnicking. The fish that can be found here are trout, bass, and catfish.

If fishing isn't your thing, use a pedal boat or aqua cycle rentals in either of their two lakes. Also have a great picnic with the grills and fire rings available. After a light lunch, spend some time in the playground, on the volleyball courts, or in the horseshoe pits.

Glen Helen is a wonderful San Bernardino County park that sits on 1,340 acres. This is another great area for picnicking, fishing, and swimming.

Joshua Tree National Park is another great park used primarily for camping in San Bernardino County. Here there are nine campgrounds in total as well as group sites available. These campgrounds are for the true camping enthusiasts as the facilities are minimal.
