Camping alternative Mex 5


Reccomending Nachos Camp at Huerfanito to those self contained that want a safe layover at half the price of Campo B or R Grande at Gonzaga. Clean beach , trash cans and Nacho is a really pleasant guy that speaks English well. A minor automotive glitch , he gladly took me to the store at G Bay . Had a great chat as well. He says a pit toilet is in the works.

Agree with dizzy... and if $20 is too much, and you have 4WD, find a lonely beach to camp on. El Huerfanito was just sad to see so worn down. I feel sorry for Nacho's but one palapa on a not real sandy beach isn't a big draw. I think the hit here is for fishermen who want to be close to the island?

Camped at Rancho Grande palapa last night for $250 pesos. Nice escape from the wind, but lots of dead jellyfish in the water.
