The voltage was low I could only use 1air conditioner I checked it 104 volts. The lady in the office was very nice. I have stayed here several times.

Just off interstate super loud. Advertise cable but only a couple channels and no networks. Have a racket - Forced to pay $20 for arriving at 1:20pm. Most KOAs are 1pm c/in they are 2pm. We were 5 night stay not just overnight. Won’t be back.

Great campground right off I-15. Sites were large and easy in and out. Lots of road noise from I-15. We would camp here again.

Generally good. This time, we checked in at 1pm and got charged a $20 early checkin fee-really annoysome-how about prorating it depending on how early? Next to our stall was a row of dead plants, trimmed back, presenting a lot of sharp spikes-very hazardous-a bad accident waiting to happen!

Barstow location for 1 night. Arrived at 12:45p, told us check in wasn’t until 2.00p. The site was vacant. Then why can’t I park?? They said, “well, you’ll be using electricity”. A $20 fee to park now and an additional $5.00 for a shady site. Left several hours before check out, saving them hours of electricity. Any credit for that? Nope. $20 cancelation fee with weeks of notice too. Ri

This is a great place for a brief stop to restock the RV, very nice staff.

We took a 3 night tent camping trip out here and it was wonderful! Kids had a blast and we visited Calico Ghost Town! The only downside was the heat and that the site reservation showed it had a shade cover, it didn't and we didn't pack ours due to the site listing and the women's bathroom lock malfunctioned so that was rough for a night BUT Staff was great and we will be back! Family friendly!

It was a bit awkward that the staff would not let us check in 20 minutes early and said we couldn't park in the lot. So we went to Peggy Sue's diner.

So, best place to stay before, during, and/or after Calico Ghost Town, Betty So’s, and/or Lil’s Saloon! Did dump then W&E. Internet service at site, as well as, Verizon and AT&T cell iffy at best: not satisfying. Suggest DVDs, not streaming. Shady spaces tight but as stated ‘Shaded’ and adequate, if you possess inner calm. Front desk amicable. Made reservation online without an i

It's a great park with really nice staff. The sites are roomy and hook ups are great. The only downside is it's proximity to the freeway, so there is a good amount of road noise. We've stayed here overnight a couple times and would stay again.

Great KOA!. Clean, convenient, quiet. Picnic tables and benches. Fantastic sunset view. Wasn’t able to get propane was only downside (but completely understand that person in charge of propane was out sick). Very glad we stopped there! Thank you.

Nice place - shower was great! But unless yu bring ear plugs, yur nite will be less than pleasant - i admit this is no fault of this KOA, but location.

Great Campground

Very nice site, easy check in even though we arrived just before 9:00 at night, we got a space with the Pet Pen and it was great!

It was OK. Typical Koa. Traffic noise due to location and atv riders made it a bit noisy over the weekend.

Nice park, clean and well managed.

The spacing between campsites is more generous than most and we appreciated it. Also, the nice trash bins rather than having to wrestle with dumpsters were also appreciated. The dog park was large and well kept and my pup liked that as did I. We were returning from 6 weeks on the road, having stayed at several KOA campgrounds. Barstow was among the nicest.

Always a great stay! We stay here twice a year on our trip to Idaho Utah etc

We got stuck on a trip when winds were really bad. We had to stop last minute and the Barstow/Calico KOA was very accommodating at the last minute. It was a nice and convenient location to spend the night.

For us, it was just a night’s stop on our way to where we were going. It was on the way and a full day’s drive from where we came from. We got a pull-through site to make our departure to the next destination quicker. The only thing that did not go our way was that our site had a bad TB cable. The bonus is the proximity to the Calico Ghost Town that we visited in the morning before we left.

Pretty and smaller park. Easy in/out. Just off highway but very quiet. Nice shade trees. Good, clean facilities and nice store. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Would certainly stay here again.

Things were looking spiffy this time, but the bathrooms could use a little more TLC. Also, the pool was looking kind of murky. We really enjoyed being able to walk on the sand trails at the back of the campground.

Great campground. Lots of amenities. Clean laundry room. Friendly staff. Easy on/off the I-15 and because of that there's traffic noise which we did not mind. Would definitely stay here again when passing through.

Desert setting....clean environment. Showers felt like little coffins...my only complaint.
May 20, 2025
Great stop in the middle of no where. KOA was very nice with large pull thru lots. We arrived a hour early after a very windy ride and was told it would be $25.00 to check in early. The park was not full so that was disappointing.
May 20, 2025
Actually for a small KOA if you grab the PawPen that we got there are hammocks that was very relaxing and nice to stay in. A little dusty from the side by sides coming in and out, but once quiet time hit, it is was all good, we will be back. Thank you

Clean. Safe. Efficient check-in. Level site. Quiet. Bathrooms clean! A few off road vehicles but they were respectful and did not race aroynd camp grounds. Dog park area clean. Second time here and will be back.

Two out of three bathrooms were disgusting. The toilets were filled with poop.
May 17, 2025
Very noisy location due to highway traffic. Windy the night I was there. Trees and tree branches pushing on metal wire and causing loud creeking sounds all night. Also felt like a child needing to ask for games room equipment. Can not speak for womens washroom, but mens had three showers. Only one shower produced hot water. That one shower has a strong fan that strongly blows shower curtain on

Very clean, nice bathrooms and dishwashing station. Great pet kennel, very large. Nice staff.

We have been coming to Barstow KOA for a few years. Love the new sites with the dog area. I think the restrooms need a little TLC.

If possible, avoid this stay. Very expensive, no refunds for cancellations, super noisy, most of the dryers and washers do not work in the laundry, and staff were not helpful.
May 15, 2025
Campground is right next to I-15, which is convenient for access but terrible for road noise, which is incessant, all night long. Clean sites and grounds. Laundry is poor maintained, with over half the washers and dryers out of order. Other amenities are not up to KOA’s usual standard. Camp host is unhelpful and surly.

This was our first KOA stay ever. We wanted to break up our trip from San Diego to St. George, Utah. I was so happy to have this option along our way. It was easy to navigate, easy to set up and all our hookups worked. We were able to rest and prepare for the rest of our trip. I would give this 5 stars, but it is in Barstow and there aren't many other amenities outside the campground.

We stay here regularly when we make trips to California both on the way and then on the way back home to Las Vegas. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Thank you!

This was an overnight stay while we were traveling. The facility was clean and the staff was friendly. We met some very nice fellow campers.

Friendly people, plenty of shaded spots, and the dog pad areas are very amazing!
