You gotta see this place, at least once. Pioneertown California is a backdrop rustic "Mane Street" setting for old Western movies. Plenty were filmed here in the 1940-50's. Today it is a favorite destination for RVers, horses & any desert tourists looking for something different. Local bars & restaurants are open on weekends.

description:
Classic setting & backdrops for old western movies. This place was made for film. Not a real ghost town per say, but still worth a visit. The Cisco Kid, Annie Oakley & Roy Rogers all happened here -- on film. From the mid 1940's, movie studios & TV production companies have used this place as old western sets.
