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.

Newberry Springs, California is a very small peaceful town located off of Historic Route 66, also known as the "Mother Road".
It is most famously known for our groves of pistachios and the famous Baghdad Cafe which was featured in the 1987 film Baghdad Cafe. Our property happens to be 1.5 miles from the famous Baghdad Cafe which makes a quick visit to the Cafe incredibly convenient.
To celebrate our Pistachios, come join us the first Saturday of every November for our Pistachio Festival which boasts lots of vendors, food, and fun!
Speaking of festivals, if you like large firework shows in the sky, then you'll want to be sure to book a spot here every July 3rd for our big 3rd of July Festival which again, is home to lots of vendors, food, fun and an amazing firework display which we happen to have front row seats to. You won't have to worry about parking if you're already here!
Do you love celestial events? If so, you'll want to book a site here between July 17th and August 24th for the 2025 year, to witness the Perseids Meteor Shower. Our night skies are also one of the best views for many Space X launchings as well as just simply stargazing. Some people have even been able to capture beautiful pictures of the Milky Way from our humble little town!

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.

Great directions and communication from Captain Jon. Even though he is closed for the season, he graciously answered my query about a one night stay. I had wanted to stop earlier in the season, but he had sold out for the night! This was a very peaceful quiet overnight for me & my dog. The temps were cold so we did not swim in the clear pond. But we watched a beautiful sunset, and beautiful sunrise. I hope you return in warmer weather, to dip my toes in the pond!!
There is a coin-op laundry room for those that need it. And RV hookups.

Site 4 was exactly what we were hoping for. Cold, clear weather with perfect desert nights and wide open skies. The campsite was quiet, clean, and genuinely beautiful, with plenty of space to relax and take it all in. It felt peaceful without feeling too isolated, and everything was well cared for. We will definitely be back.

This is a really beautiful place to camp. The property is surrounded by mountains, and there are lots of trails to walk, with Joshua Trees and other cool desert plants. It's very quiet - I didn't see a single car drive by while I was here! The dirt road to get here is a little bumpy, but not bad at all. I definitely recommend staying here, and it's a really peaceful campsite!

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.

It rained during the day so there was a huge puddle leading to their side gate, and we slid getting in through the gate on the mud. I’m sure on a drier day though, it is much easier to get in. They met us at the road, and were super helpful and accommodating. Happy we were able to use our generator :)
