Crestview (also Crest View)[2] is an unincorporated community in Mono County, California.[1] It is located 9.5 miles (15 km) south of Mono Mills,[2] at an elevation of 7520 feet (2292 m).[1]

A resort named Crestview Lodge was founded at the place in 1927 by Clarence Wilson.[2] The condemned lodge was burned in a fire department training exercise in 1977.[3] Today, the site of Crestview is occupied by a Caltrans maintenance station and a US Forest Service campground.
