Calico Ghost Town Campground

25mi from Fort Irwin · 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.

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.
