Need a good north San Felipe campo suggestion.

mrfatboy - 4-21-2013 at 10:40 AM

I need a North San Felipe Campo suggestion. I have never tried the north campos. We usually go to Percebu or Gonzaga but this trip will be short. Showers and Toilets a must for some in our group. :)

I searched here and Pete's Camp and Campo Pescador came up as possibilities. Campo Pescadpr seemed more remote and quiet compared to Pete's Camp.

What's the status of Campo Pescador? Is it still nice? Cost? Any info would be appreciated.

thx

Camp Pescadora

Our favorite place 50 amp hook up water No sewer hookup but they have a dump station. nice clean showers .store with wifi price usually around 25 dls. Beautiful clean beach. never too crowded unless its a holiday.

so give us some idea where this is close to

Pescadora

J.P. - 4-21-2013 at 11:17 AM

it's located at the west end of the main Drag the street dead ends at the front Gate

desertcpl - 4-21-2013 at 11:22 AM

if my memory serves me right wouldn't that be south and not north on the main drag,, and the main drag? might be several of them, the one coming into town or the other one that runs north and south, past the El Cortez, or am I way off?
just asking

mrfatboy - 4-21-2013 at 11:27 AM

I read some posts that Campo Pescadora is the next camp south of Playa Blanca just before Punta San Felipe. Is this correct?

J.P. - 4-21-2013 at 11:35 AM

It feels like west to me it's the street that goes by the commercial distric and on past George's Cafe and Hotel out by the big Sand Dune.



Heck I guess I will have to get David K to draw a MAP.

I 2nd that... Pete's Camp is a nice place to be. Nice restaurant/bar there too. It's been a while since we have stayed there, but always had fun camping at Pete's.

I believe some are referring to Club Pesca, not Campo
Peacador, Club Pesca is, as posted at the so. end of
SF proper, 1 blk so. of the Cortez Motel, I believe
there is a Campo Pescador no. of town

Dam,, wheres DK when you need him

mcfez - 4-21-2013 at 01:55 PM

Pete's camp is great.....if you are not there on the week ends. Hot showers Banos restaurant and a little hut bar. Campsites are extreme close to each other.....you be okay if you dont roll over in your sleep...you may have a "NEW" hubby :-)

Campo Pescador or Campos Pescardo? Campos Pescardo has a chain across the entrance....a little occupied trailer with the host to take your five bucks to get in. The site is right up at the first mountain before town.....across the street where the flatbed truck sells bricks. I can google Earth it for your tonight. A shower and a banos 9ask ahead of time if these are still in-tacked). Primitive. NOT the holiday Inn.

Sure the best kept secret of San Felipe!!!!!!! Views to kill for. A Canyon that looks like the Grand canyon. Hiking. Fishing....blah blah blah. There is a steep cliff......this place is NOT for a three year to be wondering around.

I am not impress with any other campsite North of San Felipe.

DavidK has a location that is south of San Felipe about 20 minutes out. Great camp ...lots of trees.....real blue waters. Now.....I cannot think of the name of it! It's not Shell Island...it's........David?

I think the south campo you are referring to is in this thread.

I found Campo El Pescador in this thread. However, its' very old and I wanted to get recent info.

No palapas......take a tarp and you will be a happy camper. I be REAL surprised if anyone is there :-) It's clean and it's a gem. Take firewood. Great place to blow fireworks too. There are NO homes nearby :-)

mrfatboy - 4-21-2013 at 06:10 PM

Thx. I was looking at next campo south. So does anybody know if there are some sort of showers and toilets?

mcfez - 4-21-2013 at 08:28 PM

Next south......would be a private area. There are several homes there......rarely occupied. Then it's the mountain. If you are looking at Crystal Cove which is a cove in the mid section of the mountain.......that is private property.....that was once a very swanky camp. The guard MAY let you in for a ten bill.......................no water/nada there....but one nice cove to snorkel at :-)

I 5th or 6th Pete's camp vote.

Good Food, great bar, great customer service and nice HOT showers.

daveB - 4-21-2013 at 11:08 PM

We looked at Pete's Camp back in January and February. Near the beach (but not near enough) were many palapas, yes, but did they have electricity? The few rigs there had generators proudly displayed, some ready to run directly under the permenant villas. I lliked the look of some aspects, but the washboarded road for half a mile, and the long drive into town, the sites' aspect being quite a ways from the water, were non starters. We stayed at Club la Pesca RV, the one to the south of the commercial area, with the sand dune behind it. It offers a well built concrete apron that allows a few 32' or so rigs to park easily. At the end of this apron when we came in were two 40' rigs that made it in, but barely. No sewage at these sites, but a dump is provided about 100 yds towards the dunes. The clubhouse has a small store, pool tables, television. There are showers we never looked at. About ten palapas also shared the concrete, very suitable for smaller rigs or tents. Wifi at the club house. Like a lot of things in San Felipe, Club Pesca was for sale.

Nice photos of Pete's camp. It looks nice and serene. The tide must have been out when we checked on two different ocasions, the tidal range is very great. We were a group of three, one did not have solar and we were in San Felipe for a month. A plus for it was its close proximity to the golf course, another for the friendly ambience.

I have been on that 1/2 mile dirt road so many times ( Pete's Camp),, you call that washboard?? we can give you washboard :lol::lol::lol:
that stretch is nothing

daveB - 4-22-2013 at 08:39 AM

I note they have a their own grader, the times between usage dictate to a large extent conditions on the tract from the highway.. As an exalted denizen you may get off lucky; as first-time visitors they didn't know we were coming. I will grant you a fact that we are not towing a modern vehicle, making the shuddering, rattling, jarring, much worse. The 19 year old Chevy Geo Tracker is not now, nor was it ever, accused of being a smooth vehicle on a marginal roadway. But yes, I too have been on worse. Just didn't like it.
