Best place to camp in San Quintin?

Awesome, thanks for the info. It sounds like Los Olivos will foot the bill, especially since where we are going I will be cook for the rest of the trip. A good meal out is just what mom needs.

Do remember that Jardines restaurant is closed on Mondays. Los Olivos is really a beautiful spot ---close enough to the highway to be convenient, but far enough away to not hear the noise.

Have fun!

El Pabellon

Hmm, we have stayed at El Pabellon at least 7 or 8 times in the past 5 years and have never had a problem.
We do lock up at night and the 2 - 100 lb dogs sleep in the truck.

I think we will try Los Olivos next time though.
I'm wanting to try the food at Jardines !!

That stated above DID NOT happen at Los Olivos. Los Olivos is locked at night and has a fence around the entire property as well as a security guard that lives on site. We have never had any problems at our RV park.

We have HOT showers and are located one mile off the highway. We are next door to Jardines hotel and restaurant. Los Olivos is kept very clean. We have full hook-ups.

We also offer tent camping on the grass under the olive trees. Stop by and check us out. Thanks

We ignored that, we've been to Baja over 200 times betwwen us. We had 2 chairs and, 1 boogie board stolen. Not a safe place. I would recomend the point Punta Almara or Cabo San Quintin 4x4 only. Best location in SQ. Was that at Los Olivos or El Pabellon?? That stated above DID NOT happen at Los Olivos.

You can drive down the beach from Cielito Lindo or El Pabellon to the south where the giant sand dunes begin... Locals drive this beach for clam digging (even in 2WD sedans).

Next, would be to go out to La Bocana beach, 5 miles west of El Rosario. Some day use and some campers out there once in a while... Very beautiful beach.

==========================================

Here is a photo of the beach way south of San Quintin, up in the giant dunes, I mentioned earlier...

we went out there in july. there are numerous spots to camp and it is isolated, unless there is a swell.

If any of you decide to camp out on the peninsula, let me know. I am located just at the north end of the peninsula on the Pacific side and I will show you how a Cadillac Margarita is properly made...
