Calico Ghost Town Campground

Tuzy F

We stayed here on our way out to California. The staff at this park were excellent. They accommodated us moving our arrival day. The surroundings of this park are absolutely beautiful. There is a little ghost town that you can tour,which was included in the price of the camping. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

This is a small attraction on the way to Las Vegas. It has historical significance and is worth visiting. The staff there told us that there will be bands singing on special holidays, and the Christmas decorations are very beautiful.

This place is awful. Pulled into the main gate and there were 7 cars in front of us. Took 11 minutes for the employee to get all of them in, and they were just day-visitors. Finally got to the booth and she seemed confused as to what to do. Got us 'checked-in' (I believe), and said go ahead on in. Had no idea where I was going so she finally gave me a map after I asked. I felt like asking her to do her job was an imposition. Pulled into the 'campground' and it is crap. The road is asphalt (poorly laid asphalt, not installed by licensed contractors) but the sites are rutted dirt strewn with various size rocks. Had to clear rocks before pulling in. Our pedestal is wobbly and broken, many of the sewer hookups have no caps. The site is very unlevel. We had to pull into the center of our site so that the fire ring in the adjacent site would not be directly under our left slide. Some sites don't have fire rings, just stacks of rocks that people have used to make their own. Our site also had no table. There is trash everywhere in the campground, on the trails and in the bathrooms. The bathrooms were horrible. Overflowing toilets, one door with a broken closer. We were here 2 nights, and they were never cleaned. When we pulled out at 10am the bathrooms still hadn't been cleaned. When we checked in they did not give us a receipt or window tag. So, when we left to go shopping, we just told them we were at the CG, and they waved us through. When we returned from having dinner there was no one at the gate so we just drove in. The staff spend a lot of time driving around in their carts and trucks but never saw them doing any work. And be careful because they race around at high speed. We only came here to see the ghost town. Which also had trash everywhere. We've been to other ghost towns but wanted to see this one because of its connection to Knott's Berry Farm. It's a typical tourist trap. Several of the buildings are empty/for lease. In many respects it was like walking around the ghost town area of Knott's. I would not recommend more than one or two days here. We won't be back.

Went on a Friday. It wasn’t packed. Paid around 30 to get in for a family of four. Can spend a few hours there just looking around the shops and museums they have. It seems a lot of tourists visit as well. Clean bathrooms and lots of places to walk and areas to explore.

This was a fun little stop on our trip down route 66. We just wanted to see an old mining town from yesteryear. We walked down the Main Street and took photos of the beautiful buildings. We didn't buy any souvenirs or trinkets so I cannot tell you my opinion on pricing. However it did cost money to drive in and park. (around $10 from memory) Probably allow yourself an hour to look around.
