San Ignacio Camping

Anyone know of a campground in San Ignacio to spend a night? We are looking at pretty quick in and out. Arrive late leave early.

We are not real picky about accomodations. Safe and quiet is all we need

Padrinos comes to mind...may be safe... and quiet if way in the back of the lot

I love camping at Don Chongs which is right on the river...just enter at the whale skeleton and this campground is a block down on the left side...pretty funky outhouses though. There is a new campground just over the bridge and on the right....with shade palapas I think...lots of choices.

Thanks for the information.

Sounds like there are plenty of options.

But don't leave so fast that you don't drive into town---it is one of the prettiest places in Baja, very much like the old small towns on the mainland.

We also like El Padrino.
It's about 2/3 mile off the highway on the right.
There is a small restaurant bar in front and palm tree camping behind.
The owner is very nice and the showers are normally clean and hot.
Park where you want and pay in the restaurant.
We have been there at least 15 times with absolutely no security issues.

You can park in the parking lot of rice and beans restaurant. They food is amazing, there are hookups and outlets to charge up, wireless internet and you can have coffee and breakfast and go, depending on how many margaritas you had... I think you pay a small for the service. They have rooms too. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the input.

One of these days, we'll have enough time to stop and spend more time in San Ignacio.

I agree, it is a very picturesque little town.

I will second the camoing available at El Padrino's. The place is directly across the stree from Ignacio In B&B. There are severaL palapas and you camp right next to the river. The palce is about 1/2 mile off Mex 1. Also, do not skip going into town, as Diane suggested. AND you must vist Juanita's place, Casa Leree. An incredible amount of history to be learned.
