HOLA, any rv parks south of ensenada,, that a nomad can suggest,,I do know of the the one with the little lake and zip line's...Thank's in advance....K&T:cool:

DENNIS - 3-12-2012 at 03:22 PM

There's one in Sto. Tomas....across the street from the gas station and restaurant.

You're a ways off the beach, however,.......maybe twenty miles, so if you want beach camping, that's something else.

thank you dennis/still looking

As you pass through Maneadero, take the road to La Bufadora. Go about 8 miles to Cantu. As you pass through Cantu, look for the fire station on your left. Just across from the Fire Station is LaJolla beach camp.......on the beach, showers and toilets.....fun for a couple of days!!! ....dog friendly.

There's not too much untill you get down around San Quintin. I have always wondered why there isnt more around Ensenada.:?::?:

I believe so!!!

a little north of Ensenada...

EnsenadaDr - 3-12-2012 at 06:29 PM

There is a beautiful stretch of beach directly north of La Salina marina, it looks like they have quite a few hookups there, appears to be very clean and has a restaurant and a Sunday Brunch advertised, also appears to have little places for rent there, I always wanted to try it....does anyone know more about this place??

It is a fairly nice overnight stop, if you're in a van or pickup camper. The RV sites are extremely short and tight. Parked outside and walked in before taking the plunge down the double-diamond access road. Decided that I would have to jack-knife the trailer to get it into the sites, then unhook and re-hook in the opposite direction to pull it out. And that is with a 26 ft trailer.

Which park was that? Looking for a place to overnight closer to Ensenada than the San Quintin area.

Thanks! I also have been driving past it for years.

Checked the website Dennis listed.... There's more to it than can be seen from the road. We may have to stay an extra day there and ride a few ziplines!

J.P. - 3-13-2012 at 02:02 PM

When I was looking for a place around Ensenada there was a R.V. Park between The Corral Marina and Husongs Lazy Pelicen I stayed at for about 3mos. It was really nice 50anp.service and the whole deal It was owned by one of the Husongs not long after we moved here Permenantly they scooped it up, said they were going to build a Condo there. Now 9 years later its a weed infested empty lot. go figure.:?::?:

The one that has a A Frame for a Office is on the south end of the Malecon and a block east It' close to Velmar Hospital. It's pretty run down and real close to a Honkey Tonk that dont get to really Jamming untill after Midnight.

I stopped by there a few months ago. Its a beautiful place in a rural orchard-like pasture, lots of space to safely walk and roam about.

A nice restaurant with wifi is open for breakfast through dinner.

There's plenty of rv parking and there are some nicely appointed rooms for rent with lots of privacy, too.

Much of the staff is family of Irene and speak English fluently. They generously arranged for a mechanic to help me with my pickup.

The hard part is finding the place. Its not well marked out on the highway. I just happened to stumble on it, and actually stopped at a ranch house and asked for a room and something to eat; they looked at me like I was a little nuts and sent me on down the dirt road another half mile to Irene's!

Electricity work water pressure low, lots of farm animals in a corral. We were up wind so no problem. I needed 4wd to pull the airstream up the driveway while exiting. We liked it.

Yeah...that's a radical entry. In the heat of summer, the pool sure feels good. It was about 50 years ago when I first jumped in.

Jack Smith used to stay in the motel across the street when he was coming down to La Bocana to have his house built by God and Mr. Gomez. That makes the place a shrine as far as I'm concerned. :)

anymore ?? alway's looking for a camp

captkw - 3-28-2012 at 10:48 AM

"Thumbs Up to Irene's San Vicente RV Park, Restaurant, Hotel"

(POSADA DON DIEGO)

It is not in San Vicente, but 50 miles further south at Colonia Vicente Guerrero... :light:

SFandH - 3-28-2012 at 11:00 AM

Anybody know what kind of shape La Bocana de Santo Tomas is in? I know the camping area at the beach and the road leading to it were damaged a couple of years ago by the heavy rains that collapsed several bridges along the highway.

Great place but I haven't been there since the storms.
