We stopped on our way to Laughlin and we had so much fun. We spent maybe two and a half hours there. We paid 8$ per person to go in. They have free little museums as well as guided tours. We got tickets for the train (4.50$) which was maybe about 5-8 min long. Definitely worth a stop if you are on your way to Vegas.

Great spot to stop by and explore with friends and family. Small entry fee. Lots of old & restored buildings dating back to 1880's.

Must stop. Even better during Halloween! It's like your in tne late 1800s with a full town with activities, shopping and food. They go all out on Halloween. Live music, magic, contests, haunted mazes and gun shoot outs! Definitely a must try. Great camping and cabins

We enjoyed our stay at Calico! Very quiet & chill campground. We were able to walk to “town” and had a lot of fun in the cute shops & bought lots of souvenirs! We also had an early dinner at Calico House restaurant- me & my hubby both had Philly cheesesteak sammies & fries! So good!! We’d definitely return to this campground if traveling back through the area!

This is an annual spot for myself and my family. We go to enjoy the ghost of ghost town. We enjoy going october for the Halloween festivities. We ride the train at sunset, but next year, we're riding in the dark. It's a great place to go for family and the nighttime for adults. Maggie's mine haunted tour and the scary maze. You can pan for gold and take some home. There's live music, shows, and you can vote for your favorite storefront. They dress up the town in Halloween decor. And if you're into reptiles, they even have a place where you can hold a snake and take pictures. They have millipede centipedes, scorpions, and the lot even cute little fuzzy tarantulas.

Mock mining town with historic sites, good details on history but additional charges to go on little train ride or walk through a mining tunnel was disappointing. Good stopping point between LA and LV or GC south rim with shops and cafes available.

This is a great place for a self guided field trip for homeschoolers! We took the kids to explore the mine and explore the grounds. Each activity like the train ride, mine tour, fun house, are ticketed separately from the entrance fee. Good place to take the family. We ate at the restaurant too, pretty good establishment. Bring waters and walking shoes.

This is the perfect camping spot for those who love lying under a sky sprinkled with millions of stars, basking in the gentle moonlight and cool breezes. For the best experience, head there in early spring or autumn. The restrooms? Surprisingly clean and spacious! But beware: if you go in the summer, you might just turn into a sad, crispy piece of beef jerky.

Great stop! The campground is quite large and has full hookups as well as dry camping sites. Most sites are quite rocky but there's a new section where the sites are "more groomed". Restrooms have showers and are clean. The ghost town is amazing so make sure you give yourself time to explore.

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.
