Thinking of a short trip to Calico Ghost Town and the Barstow area. Anyone stayed at the BLM Owl Canyon campground willing to share your thoughts?

... In case you're still in the area...
Farther north on I-15 is another BLM campground, Afton Canyon. It is one of the few places where the Mojave River flows above ground. A nice scenic area. My daughter and I tented there over Halloween weekend. It was nearly empty then, but when I did a re-con run three weeks earlier, it was nearly full with mostly off-roaders. The Mojave Road is close by and so is the Rasor OHV area.
As you get near the campground, the road goes down a hill that is soft sand. I didn't know if my 2WD truck towing my trailer would get stuck on the way out, hence the tent camping. But a small class C made it in and out.
