- Located one mile northeast of the town
of Desert Center, this airfield is now the town's local airport.
During the days of California-Arizona Maneuver
Area (CAMA) it was a sub-base of San Bernardino Army Air
Field and served several installations in the area including
Camp Young, CAMA headquarters. To
reach the airfield, proceed northeast out of Desert Center on
California Highway 177 about five miles to an orchard on the
right. Just past the orchard is a road to the southeast. Take
that road to the airfield. There are numerous WW II foundations
and several post-war buildings at the old airfield.
