    Barstow-Calico KOA accommodates tent campers, RV travelers, and cabin lodgers with pets throughout the year. The campground features full hookup sites with 50-amp service, clean bathrooms with showers, and a swimming pool that provides relief during hot desert days. Pets are allowed at all sites with standard KOA leash policies in effect, and a designated dog run area lets pets exercise off-leash. Beyond the KOA, BLM dispersed camping areas near Daggett also welcome pets with more lenient policies but fewer amenities. The Calico Ghost Town Regional Park includes pet-friendly cabin options alongside RV and tent sites. Most campgrounds in the area maintain gravel pads with some offering privacy bushes between sites. Campground data and reviews near Daggett, California is regularly updated on The Dyrt.

    Hiking with dogs is possible at nearby Stoddard Valley OHV area and Owl Canyon Campground, though owners should be cautious of hot ground temperatures during summer months. The desert environment requires extra consideration for pets, including carrying additional water and watching for hazards like cactus and wildlife. Highway noise from Interstate 15 affects several pet-friendly campgrounds, particularly the Barstow-Calico KOA, which may disturb noise-sensitive dogs. The proximity to major highways makes these locations convenient stopping points when traveling with pets between Las Vegas and Southern California. Most facilities feature trash receptacles for pet waste disposal, and the Newberry Mountain RV Park accepts pets in both their RV sites and glamping accommodations. While highway-adjacent locations create noise, they provide quick access to emergency veterinary services in Barstow.

      Bear Lake

      Exceptional camping experience. Beautiful, secluded, but not far from town. Would recommend a vehicle you feel comfortable with off roading terrain.

      Holloway's Marina & RV Park

      A disappointing experience

      We reserved and paid for a regular RV site specifically advertised for a 36–40 ft motorhome. We were assigned Site#28, which was so sloped and unsuitable that we could not safely extend either our living-room slide-out or bedroom slide-out. While using our leveling system, two front hydraulic jack rods broke and one rear jack became severely bent and could not retract. Our motorhome was left unsafe to drive or move. The exact mechanical cause still requires professional inspection, but the condition and slope of the assigned site are serious concerns. We immediately notified the campground by email, provided photographs, and went to the office seeking help with an incident report, emergency assistance, and a safe plan for the stranded motorhome. Unfortunately, management refused to take meaningful responsibility or help us resolve the emergency. The most disappointing part was not only the unsuitable site, but the lack of concern and assistance after a guest’s large motorhome became immobilized on the property. We had to return to work on Monday and were left trying to arrange emergency service, towing, transportation, and accommodation on our own. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Holloway’s RV Park to owners of large Class A motorhomes. If you have a 36–40 ft RV, carefully inspect the assigned site’s slope, space, and leveling conditions before parking or deploying your jacks.

      Easy to get to. I have an AWD sprinter no problem. Son has an Acura TLX made it up no issue had a few spin outs on steeper parts. Higher sites are nice and spaced.

      Mesa Campground — Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area

      Fine, nicely wooded

      No lake view, which was a bit disappointing. Nice wooded area though with tree climbing. A bit loud music from the neighbors, not until very late so was OK. Limited amount of toilets for the amount of spots

      Mesa Campground — Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area

      Good campground during week

      Good campground, quiet, not crowded during the week. Too much trash around some sites, though, on a Monday (doesn’t look like new trash). Bathrooms were clean, but basic. Evening bike ride was fantastic, but the trail is not well kept up (rough or crumbling in many spots) and is steep enough to require an electric bike in several parts unless you are good with an 8-9% grade. Park is quiet during the day, with a lot of amenities.

      Tons of ants. Active gnats and mosquitoes at dusk and dawn.

      Temperatures were quite warm in mid August. Glad we had an RV with AC.

    Guide to Daggett

    Dispersed camping near Daggett, California offers travelers access to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands with minimal facilities but maximum flexibility. The area sits at approximately 2,000 feet elevation in the Mojave Desert with temperatures regularly exceeding 100°F during summer months and dropping below freezing in winter. The terrain consists primarily of hard-packed desert soil with scattered creosote bush and Joshua trees.

    What to do

    Desert hiking trails: Explore the colored rock formations at Owl Canyon Campground, where campers can access trails directly from their sites. "Our group site had plenty of room for everyone, and picnic tables that had a covering to provide some shade during the day. The area felt very remote and quiet, and we were able to hike right from our site each day," notes Hannah O.

    Off-highway vehicle adventures: Stoddard Valley OHV provides direct access to designated riding areas for dirt bikes and ATVs. "This spot isn't anything special, but desert camping under the stars is never a bad time. Once the wind settled in the evening, I made some tea and read a book. I saw a shooting star when I laid down in my tent," shares Kyle K.

    Historical exploration: Visit the historic mining attractions near campsites for a glimpse into the area's past. "You can't beat having a campsite AND you can enter the ghost town either by foot or drive to the ghost town's parking lot. Your camping fees include all that. Very cute little town and lots to see," explains D T. about Calico Ghost Town Regional Park.

    What campers like

    Desert night skies: The minimal light pollution creates exceptional stargazing opportunities across most campsites. At BLM Barstow - Dispersed Camp Area, you'll find "plenty of space to have 2 RV's, a van, and a few guests. Definitely head over to Slash-X cafe if you get a chance and grab a beer while listening to live music in the back patio!" according to Heather L.

    Budget-friendly options: Free camping on BLM land makes Daggett an economical choice for travelers. "This is a popular camping site for OHV riders during the winter. There are several sites at this location that each can hold 5-7 RVs. Each of the sites has a primitive fire ring, but there is no wood in the area, so bring your own," explains Mark W.

    Winter climate: The moderate winter temperatures (50-70°F daytime) make December-February ideal for desert camping. "Good fall to spring. Way to hot in summer. No shade. Dusty but that's expected in an OHV Campground," notes Aaron S. about seasonal conditions at campgrounds in the area.

    What you should know

    Limited shade availability: Most camping areas near Daggett have minimal natural cover. "The sites have absolutely no shade or cover, and are just lined up in a row next to each other with no privacy. We ended up choosing to spend more of our time at Owl Canyon because it was much more secluded, had better views, and offered shade," reports Hannah O.

    Water scarcity: Pack in all water needs as few sites offer this resource. One camper at Ord Mountain Dispersed notes: "We checked this place out but didn't stay. We liked the beautiful wide open surroundings, the good cell reception, and the easy access from the main road, but it seemed like this is a place better suited for bigger groups."
