DAGGETT, San Bernardino County — October 24, 2026. A significant transportation facility near the small unincorporated community of Daggett is Barstow–Daggett Airport (DAG), which San Bernardino County describes as a general-aviation airport around 12 miles east of Barstow. The field has a role beyond leisure flying: the county says its location can support aviation connected with the nearby Fort Irwin National Training Center and wider High Desert transportation activity.
What is physically at the airport?
The county airport information page lists two asphalt runways: 8/26 at 6,400 by 150 feet and 4/22 at 5,119 by 100 feet. Its address is 39500 National Trails Highway, Daggett, CA 92327. The operator lists fuel as a service, but the page alone does not establish today’s supply, operating hours or availability for a particular aircraft.
A general-aviation field, not a promise of scheduled flights
The Department of Airports identifies the field as a general-aviation facility. That does not prove scheduled airline service, a commercial passenger terminal or continuous staffing. Travellers cannot assume it operates like a large metropolitan airport. Any flight-planning decisions require current aeronautical information and direct confirmation with the responsible operator.
Why local residents may care
Airport land, hangars, road access, noise, training activity and aviation-related businesses can affect Daggett even if most county residents rarely fly from the field. Public records can help explain county oversight, airport commission meetings, planned maintenance and land-use changes. The county’s airport directory also lists several other High Desert airfields, but this news report concerns the one next to Daggett.
How to find official documents
Residents who want information about a particular change should check the county Department of Airports and the Board of Supervisors’ current meeting records. The county airport page lists the facility phone number as 760-247-2371. That is a contact for questions, not an emergency hotline. Requests about noise complaints, lease proposals or possible building works should identify the specific proposal and date where possible.
