If your really mean "camping" then follow my advice.
If you are looking for an establishment like Gecko (which was very good and our guys used last year) then follow the others advice.
Primitive camping just north of the spit at La Gringa is wonderful!
There is a sheltered cove and you can camp down below or up on the bluff if there is not a wind factor.
To reach this site just drive past the La Gringa spit, through some pretty trashy scattered dumpsites, and watch for the first roads heading out to
the bay. They all sort of end up at the same place.
We may be out there the last week of March, so look out, we have been know to send aerial assault missiles out against those who enter the area
without proper identification..... (just ask Eltgatoloco- we bombed him pretty good a couple years ago.... sorry Matt)
Oh yeah, almost forgot, some shaggy looking guys will drive up and ask for rental money. They are seriously negotiable. Anything more that about
$10 a night is ridiculous, start at $5. (US)

Yes, La Gringa camping gives you solitude - you can also take the road much further north it winds inland and then back to the coast. Some primo
spots up there.
We'll be up next montha dn then again in June - any later is too hot for us.
Antonio and Bety habla mucho ingles at Archelon - and put up with my poor espanol.

One of those isolated coves north of La Gringa is where the Humfreville's lived one summer, as told in Mike's new book, 'In the Shadow of the
Volcano'.

An excellent read for any lover of Baja. Mike is truly missed by many here!

David,
Thanks for the invitation to remember Michael's life. Ironically, I'll be trailering it in Bahia De Los Angeles at that time - 2/7 - 3/10. At 2PM I'll
go to the cemetery, maybe some other nomads will be there as well. Shall send a report.
Sometimes you really do question; why you are and where you are.

Last November asked for help to get a reservation at Campo Archelon for 3/15-22. Mike was the only one that responded and was kind enough to use his
valuable time and go to Antonio's and personally set up a reservation for a complete stranger. Was looking forward to meeting this exceptional man
after I got down there. It was only a few days later i read the heart break news. I will visit him while I'm down there and say thanks.
