But with as easy as their app is to use, we end up staying at KOAs more than anything. This was a quick overnight to refresh tanks and recharge the Jackery after a few nights of lot docking, and our expectations were pretty low…. I mean it’s Barstow.This ended up being one of our favorite KOAs ever. It’s not a huge park, and it doesn’t have a lot of the frills KOAs are known for, but the only amenity we generally use is the dog park, and our pack loved the one here. The privacy of the sites is well above average and the grounds are maintained well. Their propane is right on your way out making it easy to top off before you leave, which we did.

Personnel friendly and they do have a military discount and the wifi is excellent. But still not sure why they said T7 would be a “nicer” site. Site mostly dirt with a little sand thrown in. We’re in a van and any of sites T2-6 would have been nicer though no gravel on any of parking spaces. Shower was warm but fairly disgusting.

Site mostly dirt with a little sand thrown in. We’re in a van and any of sites T2-6 would have been nicer though no gravel on any of parking spaces. Shower was warm but fairly disgusting. Water was pooling around my feet so I lifted the rubber mat and found literally gobs of matted hair around the drain. We were coming from I 40 at night and the 3 miles to the campground off I 15 are on a really dark road that is windy and difficult to see. Would only stay here again if absolutely necessary.

We stayed one night here on our way to Southern California. The grounds were in good condition with many sites with some shade. This is important as it is very hot here. Our site was a pull thru and level. The pool was nice and it had a game room. There is a great diner nearby Peggy Sues.

This is important as it is very hot here. Our site was a pull thru and level. The pool was nice and it had a game room. There is a great diner nearby Peggy Sues. There is also a walkable old mining town close which we didn’t visit as it was 100 degrees at 10 in the morning. Only complaint was the shower room could have been a bit cleaner.

Solid KOA Journey. Decent sites most looked well leveled, gravel. Power was clean, pedestal good hookup. Did not use water/sewer. No real activities/amenities, but all clean and well kept. Restrooms clean. Just fine for an overnite on our trip.

Stopped here on the way back into California from Zion. Level site, good hookups. Good Wifi. Little bit of Freeway noise but not bad. Easy access to I-15. Close it Calico Ghost town.

If you just need to dump your tanks don’t waste your time. They charge $25 for it. Drive 7 miles to Barstow and pay $10 at the Jflight.

We stayed here on our way to Zion National Park. We pulled in pretty late at night and did the self-check-in. All pull-through sites were taken, so it took me a while to figure out which other sites could fit our truck and AirStream without disconnecting.

All pull-through sites were taken, so it took me a while to figure out which other sites could fit our truck and AirStream without disconnecting. In the morning, I called the front desk to request a payment over the phone to avoid contact during the COVID times; it turned out it wasn't their standard policy. The lady, however, made an exception and took the payment over the phone. It's an Ok place for an overnight stay. The campground was clean, and we felt safe, which is always a concern for overnight stops.

waited 30 min to check in as she was on the phone...Did laundry, only 2 dryers functional other 5 appear to have been broken for several monthsBathrooms not very clean

The front desk staff was very friendly and the store is reasonably well stocked. Park is clean and the sites are easy to access. Our 40' 5th wheel pretty much filled our site but the utilities were placed in a good spot for us and we had 50a service. WiFi was actually usable with 3 up and 6 down.

Our 40' 5th wheel pretty much filled our site but the utilities were placed in a good spot for us and we had 50a service. WiFi was actually usable with 3 up and 6 down. Overall, a good park with easy freeway access. Good variety of activities and the place can accommodate everything from tents to the big 44' rigs. It's a little noisy with the freeway across the street but it was kinda cool hearing Taps being played at 2200 hrs from the nearby Marine Base.

The campground is a desert campground so it's hot and dry. There are some shady sites. They have a few sites with 50 amp service and more with 30 amp. Our major problem was that when I called, I asked if they had 50 amp and reserved a 50 amp site. Turns out they did not have any 50 amp sites, they had all been booked for weeks....moreThe campground is a desert campground so it's hot and dry. There are some shady sites.

Turns out they did not have any 50 amp sites, they had all been booked for weeks. Our motorhome was having trouble and we couldn't go look for another campground once we got there. They lied to us and it cost us a lot of discomfort. They also moved us 3 times to different sites under the guise that they were 50 amp but they were not. We ended up in a site with no shade at all and no 50 amp service. That means we could only run one air conditioner and the temps were 110F. Not fun. The campground is really trying and I would have been happy with the experience except that they lied to us about the site we were getting. They have a pool that looked really nice. They had an air-conditioned store and main building as well as an air-conditioned room near the pool where people could hang out. They had a little store that had lots of cold drinks and basic supplies.

We came in late at night, our site info and map were set out for us at the check-in booth, and the site provided the space and hookups we needed for the quick overnight stop.Based on the number of other campers who came in during the evening hours and left early in the morning, this no-frills campground likely caters to travelers looking for a one-night stopover.Overall: clean, safe, quiet and conveniently close to the highway.

Sites are full hook-ups. Typical KOA with very close sites. Although not awful, I would not describe it as “clean”. My guess is that they have a high turnover of nightly guest that leave basic trash around the sites. We had a pull through site that was level enough.

My guess is that they have a high turnover of nightly guest that leave basic trash around the sites. We had a pull through site that was level enough. We did experience some issues with the electricity when trying to run the air conditioning. Park was full so maybe low amperage. $45 seems like a lot for a very basic pull through site. Lots of highway noise.

We have stayed at this KOA a number of times. This time we were with friends to go to Calico and visit Barstow. Usually we stop here before heading into the "hot country" and out of S Calif or as a stop over before back to Jamul, CA.

This is a very good convenient place to stop with good utilities and easy in and out sites. We belong to the KOA club so rates are not too bad.

Would have been nice to have been warned that the water would be shut off at night due to low temperatures. Since it happened the next night to someone else we know, who also was not told in advance, it wasn't as though it was an unexpected emergency measure by the campground staff.

Very hot weather. Nice attempt at making some privacy with hedges and trees. Staying just one night so really didn't check out much. Suitable. typical KOA.

We originally planned to stay at a Harvest Host when we were in this area, but it was 105 degrees, so we opted for hook ups instead of boondocking. This KOA was a pleasant experience for the night we stayed. Our spot sat alongside a nice view of the desert. The space was clean and really easy to get in and out of.

This place has everything you need for an overnight stay while en-route to another destination.

It's located right next to the interstate near an easy off ramp so it's an easy access with nearby fuel stations. It's just down the road from Calico Ghost town and 5 miles from the city of Barstow which is where we had dinner.Check in was uneventful and we were located in a gravel (cinders) pull-through site next to the dump station...not my first choice of sites. I was hoping the site would be a bit longer so I wouldn't have to unhitch for an early morning departure, but no such luck. Our site was not planned very well with the electrical post, cable, and water located toward the front of the site and the sewer outlet was located more toward the back of the site. It was a long reach for the hose and power cord, since our hookups are located near the rear of our trailer. The dog park was close by which our 2 Labrador retrievers were thankful for, although there was nothing but desert out there so they could run anywhere. The owners were adamant about picking up after them though. We didn't use any of the bathrooms, shower facilities or pool so will not comment on those.The freeway noise was constant but we mainly stayed in the trailer at night so it didn't bother us too much. I would stay here again overnight, but certainly not as a destination.

We stayed with dzimstream overnight on our way to Mojave. Its a great KOA - clean laundry, the jumpy pillow was great, as was the little playground. Our kids had fun. I also liked the bushes between sites, it gave a little more privacy than usual.

We hit more KOA's recently to let the 3 yr old play on the playground and jumpy pillow and know we can get laundry done while we're there. This one was pretty standard.
