Barstow / Calico KOA Holiday

"We stayed here for 4 nights at a patio sight. We loved the double site, paver patio, patio cover, hammocks and fire pit. We went for off roading and the ghost town so the location was great. The campground bathrooms were extremely clean and well heated for a November camping trip. The staff was friendly and helpful. The camp store was well stocked and reasonably priced for a convenience store. The whole campground is gravely which was great for the rainy start to our trip. I found the experience to better than our previous trip to the county campground. The only downside is the freeway noise but that would not stop us from camping here again. My youngest daughter loved the playground. Overall one of the best KOA’s I’ve stayed at:"

"Easy location, on/off the freeway. Nice views of the buttes, clean bathrooms and campground. Great dog play area. They have a store if you forgot anything. Old reviews were less favorable but they are under new management and so don't hesitate to stay here!"

"We stayed here over the 4 day Thanksgiving weekend while passing thru the area. We had low expectations after reading reviews but we were happily surprised with this little KOA. Easy access off I-15. Easy enough to maneuver inside the park for big rigs towing. A little snug to enter camp sites but exiting is very roomy. Staff were friendly. There is obviously road noise but did not bother us. There were 5 sites that had paw pens (sites: 12, 28, 29, 30 and 36). These paw pens were large and included seating, shade covers and Edison lighting. A few even had a privacy fence on one side. Very nice! We would consider renting one of these sites even without a dog! During our stay the park was 90% full. The majority of campers had side by side machines. You can access trails right from the campground. While we have absolutely nothing against this hobby, our only complaint is about that. Twice we saw folks hosing off their muddy machines in empty camp sites. Friday and Saturday nights folks returned to the campground on these loud machines at 11pm. Don't know if this KOA stays booked with off-road enthusiasts on weekends throughout the winter or if it was just because it was a holiday weekend. Just disappointed in the lack of abiding by campground rules. Other than those issues we were happy with our stay and would probably stay here again if passing thru the area. Note...price includes all taxes and fees."
