Gypsys beach camp
Hi all,
Been meaning to ask for a while -- I know gypsy's beach camp near san quentin is closed but I was wondering if there is anything new around there?
I miss the wet buzzard that I hear closed down many years ago and I'm hoping theres still SOMETHING around there.

Gypsy's and Wet Buzzard are both old history and it is sad indeed. I enjoyed both back in the early 2000s.
Two RV parks on the beach are just south on Hwy. 1 and both called El Pabellon, one is Fidel's. Just north, next to Baja Jardines, is Los Olivos RV
park... just not near the water.

The Cielito Lindo hotel/restaurant has a small campground for tents, and inside the walls, space for RVs. There is a shower for campers. The Los
Olivos campground is a nice place for tent camping (I'd call it a campground rather than an RV park) - I'm usually the only one there when I stay.

Welcome to the forum Slumpy,
Plus one for Cieliro Lindo, they have everything you need including a fantastic "old school" bar w/ restaurant.
A great happy hour with wicked Margaritas. Their cracked crab dinner is out of this world , WOW !

Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

Thanks for the addition of Cielito Lindo's little RV/ camp area. I stayed there in 2001, before David & Juanita built Gypsy's. That was for
Michelle's first BBBB party. http://www.vivabaja.com/van1/

I never have been impressed with any locations in that immediate vicinity. I always camp at Fidel's Pabellon which has a beautiful beach with very few
people around esp. on weekdays.

I only stay at Los Olivos because it's walking distance to Jardines and I have to eat at Jardins.

Be very, very careful, there are many of us who thought we died and gone to heaven after a couple and the next morning wished we had.

Tried to make contact with Cielito Lindo at the end of July for an overnight on our way north but the phone gave me the busy signal for a couple of
days so i gave up. Was looking forward to trying it out.

Go anyway - I'm usually the only tent camper and there seems to be plenty of room in the RV area. If all else fails, get a room there. With the
restaurant, bar, beach and TV (football), you can't go wrong.

We were lucky to attend Laura's last fiesta there before she closed. They spitted two goats with carnitas, beans , rice, etc. Dave and Juanita were
there. The cost was $5 for all that you could eat and all the beer that you could drink. Best deal ever.

A Nomad, (DK) once camped there inside the storehouse to escape the strong winds. Funny what we remember.

When we went to the final fiesta, Juanita provided a free room @ Cielito Lindo. The room was scary. We got what we paid for.

That was their indoor camping building... and for me, it was to escape the rain, twice! I thought it was the greatest invention ever for us tent or
open-air campers since it is so wet (or windy) there.
That was in November of 2002 (Thanksgiving weekend) with my son, and April of 2003 (Easter vacation/ Spring break) with my daughter. Raining both
times!
