Calico Ghost Town Campground - Barstow

It was a first visit, so we weren't sure what to expect. And it's safe to say, we will be back! They have camp sites with hook-ups but for our stay we were at a site without. The other campers were friendly and respectful and it wasn't loud late or early. Going in January meant the hiking was fun because we weren't stressed about snake run ins. There are many places to hike and explore. The old town part has some fun things like a mine shaft short tour $3 or$4 per person, a train tour, panning for gold, a sweet shop, a general store, a restaurant, a saloon and a cafe plus a rock and fossil shop. Lots to walk around and look at. There is also a coffee shop inside the sweet shop that will make you a Starbucks style coffee. There isn't shade so this might be brutal to hike and explore in hot months.

Wow! What an awesome place. So full of history and cool things to walk around and see. Definitely bring comfy shoes and a jacket there’s lots to see, the mine was awesome! And the food was solid! Love the history and will come back again.

We didn't camp here, but we'd like to. Spent the day of exploring the ghost town, but we definitely felt like we wanted to stay longer. Camping would have been ideal. The city and the people who worked there were so friendly and accommodating. The food was so good! I really didn't expect that. My grandson had pizza and the adults had food in the restaurant near the entrance. It was just a Maishund and Hamburger and Pommes, but they were excellent! Soon again!

Really nice place to go with the family! You have tours, railway and gold panning for attractions. Restaurants, candy shop, the Starbucks, candle shop, wood shop, a store with Native American items, many gift shops! Also be ready for a short little walk to overlook the tip Calico Ghost city, so ready to have coins to look through the telescope. Also bring cash because there are cool machines to say about luck, talk guys behind the glass lol, def would come back

I always wanted to come here and I wasn't disappointed! All staff were friendly and loved their job, a breath of fresh air. Spend a few hours to see all the shops, drive by train, see the mine, visit the secret house and eat in the salon.
