Calico Ghost Town

Calico Ghost Town is about half way between Las Vegas and Acton, CA, where we are heading . I was searching for a place to stay overnight and found this spot on my Streets and Trips program. It is a county park that is part of the San Bernardino Regional park system. The property of the town was owned by Walter Knotts, from the KnottsBerry farm family.

The Rv park is right next to the Ghost Town.

So after we pulled in and hooked up, we walked up the hill to the Ghost Town. It is really quite cute and they have done a good job restoring the buildings. Since it was after 4:00 pm by the time we got there, we just wandered around for a half hour and got the lay of the land. We also purchased cups of ice cream and sat on a patio overlooking the entire area. The ghost town is high up on a hill and overlooks the entire valley. The RV park is down in the valley.

I just like this picture of the posts on one of the porches.

We decided to spend two nights there so we could tour the town in the morning when it was cool and then relax in the afternoon.

So that is what we did and it was really quite enjoyable. Certainly this is a good place to stop and rest and tour for a day or two.

Next stop............Acton , CA, Thousand Trails park in Soledad Canyon.
