This was a fun little stop on our trip down route 66. We just wanted to see an old mining town from yesteryear. We walked down the Main Street and took photos of the beautiful buildings. We didn't buy any souvenirs or trinkets so I cannot tell you my opinion on pricing. However it did cost money to drive in and park. (around $10 from memory) Probably allow yourself an hour to look around.
Very cool spot to go see. I went in early March, 2025 it was $8 per adult. Once you park you have access to your car in case you packed water or snacks. There are a few places to buy food and drinks and candy and other sweets. Other attractions like the train ride and mystery shack have an addition fee.
What a fun, friendly and free (to get into) place to go. Plus, if you like Call of Duty Black Ops 2 the zombies map Buried is based on this town! We got candy and fudge, got some cool things from a store that had crystals, rocks and other things in it!
We're here in the off-season so it's not crowded. Well-lit bath house. Full RV hookups. Helpful, friendly park rangers. Good place for OHVs.
All these beautiful and natural colors decorate the whole world and spread the greatness of the natural power. I wanna kiss this incredible land. Why just 4 stars? Because I hate driving! It was a little far. But I loved it! Really loved it—-NATURE! Fresh air, and away from human!!!!!!
This is the perfect camping spot for those who love lying under a sky sprinkled with millions of stars, basking in the gentle moonlight and cool breezes. For the best experience, head there in early spring or autumn. The restrooms? Surprisingly clean and spacious! But beware: if you go in the summer, you might just turn into a sad, crispy piece of beef jerky.
Great stop! The campground is quite large and has full hookups as well as dry camping sites. Most sites are quite rocky but there's a new section where the sites are "more groomed". Restrooms have showers and are clean. The ghost town is amazing so make sure you give yourself time to explore.
We stayed here on our way out to California. The staff at this park were excellent. They accommodated us moving our arrival day. The surroundings of this park are absolutely beautiful. There is a little ghost town that you can tour,which was included in the price of the camping. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
This is a small attraction on the way to Las Vegas. It has historical significance and is worth visiting. The staff there told us that there will be bands singing on special holidays, and the Christmas decorations are very beautiful.
Suitable for the whole family. Lots of shops, photo opportunities, and activities. Keep in mind that this is located in a desert climate. Check the weather before going to make sure temperatures are tolerable. There is a low-cost admission.
