Set against a backdrop of rough California terrain, the small town of Campo – with its dirt roads and worn-down buildings – retains the feel of the long-ago unsettled American frontier.
Those who visit the unincorporated community just a mile from the Mexico border may feel like they stepped back into a time when settlers and pioneers, called by “manifest destiny,” were drawn to the Old West. But realtors who are trying to entice a buyer to purchase the entire town say that’s part of Campo’s charm.
In one of the more unusual real estate listings, downtown Campo hit the market this week for $6.6 million.
