Calico Ghost Town Campground

10. Calico Ghost Town Campground

52mi from Baker · 160 sites · Yermo, CA
Calico Ghost Town is a unique destination that offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history of the Old West, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. Established in 1881, this once-thriving mining town was abandoned in the mid-1890s when the value of silver plummeted, transforming it into a hauntingly beautiful ghost town. In the 1950s, Walter Knott revitalized Calico by restoring nearly all of its original structures to reflect their 1880s charm, preserving the town's historical significance. Calico was designated as State Historical Landmark 782 and, in 2005, was officially recognized by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as California’s Silver Rush Ghost Town. Today, Calico Ghost Town is part of the San Bernardino County Regional Parks system, attracting visitors from across the nation and around the globe. The town features a variety of shops and restaurants, providing a delightful experience for guests. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy camping, hiking, and off-roading in the surrounding areas, while the nearby natural attractions offer opportunities for exploration and adventure. Whether you're interested in history, outdoor activities, or simply soaking in the unique atmosphere, Calico Ghost Town has something for everyone.

What an incredible experience! My husband, fur baby, and I had such a fun time visiting all the animals on the property❤️ Elvis the donkey was definitely a highlight of the trip. Like a giant puppy!🥰 The random visits all through the day and night by the friendly farm dogs and a nice hot outdoor shower under the beautiful stars were the cherry on top. 10/10 experience

The Ac is perfect and hits as soon as you walk in, the bed area was warm during the day but with the fan on and the cooling down on the evening it was comfy at night as well. We were pleasantly surprised to see a toilet and a shower since we hadn't seen them in the pics. It's a dreamy tiny home with everything you could need. Even some board games and checkers. Loved the cute little radio which I enjoyed while cleaning the pots and pans. We made breakfast in the firepit and smores at night. The night sky was clear that you could see the milky way! We fell in love with Sandy Valley Ranch a second time. So serene and beautiful. The dogs are so well behaved and we love all the animals. Glad to celebrate a birthday there and already looking into staying again.

Jon is so friendly and welcoming! His land has tons of available activities and shared spaces for socializing and the sites are well dispersed around his swimming hole. I was only passing through for one night but it was a hot afternoon and my dog got to cool off swimming while I took an available paddle board out on the water. I will have to come back for a longer stay sometime.

We enjoyed our stay and we can't wait to go back! It was so peaceful and it was so nice to get away from the city. Loved being able to walk around and see all the ranch animals! It was the perfect getaway. The camper is charming and cozy. It got a little warm during the day but it wasn't unbearable. They have a mini swamp fan. There are plugins for a fan if you wanted to bring one. We cooked breakfast in the morning and made smores in the campfire at night. We brought our portable hammock/ w stand to star gaze. They do have meals and other activities available. We plan to do it all next time and hopefully stay a bit longer. We stayed one night and even though it was short I would do it again! We will keep an eye on events so so we can drive down and enjoy from time time to time. Thank you for everything. Would recommend SVR!

WOW! A very wonderful experience was had. I give it a 10 out of 10. Employees were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional in all aspects. The weather was not a problem, only gusts of wind late into the night, and a warm environment during the day, but comfortable. The mini cabin had toiletries, which I found very thoughtful. The fire pit near the campsite was perfect for s'mores, so no need to bring your travel pit. Although I recommend bringing a flashlight and water on your stay.

We loved staying at Sandy Valley Ranch in the tipi. It was a unique stay with all the amenities one would need to be comfortable. The tipi was perfect for 2 adults and we slept well. The outdoor kitchen and campfire cooking tools were more than enough for a glamper to make a meal. The facilities were close and clean. The valley is the real star of the show with incredible sunrises, sunsets and night skies. Thank you for sharing your ranch with us.

A lovely stay in a beautiful and cozy setup. We were worried we might be chilly as temps weren’t too high, but the site was well equipped with heated blankets, extra blankets, and a space heater. The hosts also responded very promptly when the propane tank for the space heater had run empty. We also loved the outdoor shower and kitchen. Overall a great spot to stay, and a great experience spending time on the ranch and in the nearby town!

Calico Ghost Town Campground

52mi from Baker · 160 sites · Yermo, CA
Calico Ghost Town is a unique destination that offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history of the Old West, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. Established in 1881, this once-thriving mining town was abandoned in the mid-1890s when the value of silver plummeted, transforming it into a hauntingly beautiful ghost town. In the 1950s, Walter Knott revitalized Calico by restoring nearly all of its original structures to reflect their 1880s charm, preserving the town's historical significance. Calico was designated as State Historical Landmark 782 and, in 2005, was officially recognized by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as California’s Silver Rush Ghost Town. Today, Calico Ghost Town is part of the San Bernardino County Regional Parks system, attracting visitors from across the nation and around the globe. The town features a variety of shops and restaurants, providing a delightful experience for guests. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy camping, hiking, and off-roading in the surrounding areas, while the nearby natural attractions offer opportunities for exploration and adventure. Whether you're interested in history, outdoor activities, or simply soaking in the unique atmosphere, Calico Ghost Town has something for everyone.
