Calico Ghost Town Campground reviews
17It's ok. The ground in the section we all stayed in is full of rocks. No smooth area. This was "B" sites. Forget putting down a tent unless u bring a gravel rake. The Ghost Town was fun on Saturday. Ate at a restaurant there and had ice cream up the main street. U get in free to the Ghost Town because ur already in the park. U can walk to it from the campground or drive around the hill.
Nice Ghost town. Loads of shops you can even get real dinosaur teeth. The saloon serves good burgers and is quite stylish
Get out of the city and go see a ghost town! This is a cute location and for the SoCal traveler, it's not too far of a drive, or even a great stop on the way to Vegas. We camped out and then went to the town the next day, which was amazing. We will be back to try the cabins and some more of the tours you have to book ahead for.
The ghost town itself is great. I highly recommend it. The campground is cramped. The spots are tiny and close together
My wife used to come here as a child so she led us here and i have been in love ever since! Rented a cabin for about $70.was the only cabin there pretty much and my kids, wife, and i had a blast! Sat around a camp fire and ate snacks and had a great time.visited the graveyard and it was spooky and fun.calico has a lot to do too and a great restaurant at the top of the hill.had the 2nd best time of my life here! 1st best was the first time we came here a couple years back but it wil remain amazing and sad to say goodbye but ill bring my family back in a few years when my little ones can understand everything a bit better.thank you to whomever runs this establishment!
Sometimes there’s free events! Got free snow cones! Kid friendly, just being water! Ghost town tour is a must at night!
We rented one of the cabins. I was expecting more of a rustic deserty/nature vibe, quiet and peaceful. Instead there are a ton of RVs, loud music with deep bass, loud dune buggies, bright headlights in your eyes while you try to cook marshmallows as the trucks do 30-point turns to fit their trailers into the little spaces. Large truck parked 3 feet away from our fire pit, at an angle that blocks off our area. I feel like our family is crashing a party we don’t belong at. Kids had trouble sleeping due to obscenely loud bass music nearby. One star for the cabin itself, which was nice.
Very convenient campground with nice restrooms and showers but the campsites are VERY close to each other and unfortunately we had to listen to someones music all hours of the night.
It was a cool place to check out. Wish I had a little more time there but we were on our way to Vegas and didn't want to get there to late
Nice stop for the night. Reservation includes entry into the Ghost Town and it's just a short walk from the campground. Dogs are allowed at both, we even got to take them into the old mines. The Ghost Town has different activities for an extra cost, reasonable prices and offers several tours that sound fun. The campground/RV area is clean and has bathrooms with showers (showers are $1, quarters only for 5 minutes). Our site had power, water, and sewer. No lighting at night so be sure to bring a flashlight. Fires allowed so bring some wood and s'mores. Lots of families and pets, everyone was respectful and it was quiet by 10pm. Make sure to have your leveling blocks, the sites are gravel and uneven.
Loved this campground. It is a great place to hike. I wish the sites were bigger and the signage was better. It's hard to know where your site is.
First time there, took our RZR, had a great time, easy access for off-road fun, nights we're calm, does get windy so be prepared.
Camp grounds were maintained, fire pits located within the rental cabin patio areas, rock fire pits for the RV and trailer area which has full power and water hook up.
A lot of jeep groups and SxS/RZR as well as dirt bikes and quads. It's rocky terrain on the first part of the trails so air down before leaving camp!
We will definitely be coming back in the near future.
I loved it but I was because of my disabilty, I wasn't able to walk passed the restroom. I'll come back once I am able to purchase an electric scooter. I was fascinated by what I saw so I can only imagine the rest of.
Wonderful, immersive look into western mining town life in the late 1800s! Stop here if you are ever in the area. I only wish that I lived closer; I would visit again.
The ghost town itself is awesome. The campground, however, is very cramped. The sites are small and very close together
Nice I enjoyed camping with fire ring full hook up and with entrance to calico ghost town included and this Saturday chili cook off with live entertainment
Want to escape for the city. This must see Lil town was a great day trip! If your looking to travel back to the that “ole west” feel, this is the place.
