Estero Beach has RV parking and storage, and great RV park. We always stay and shop at Costco before we head on down to the East Cape. Check there web sight and give them a call or e-mail for cost.

Any Rv park or storage would be more-less "safe", as long as it's gated and the owner or caretaker is living there. You would have to go and check for yourself, whether you like the arrangements (and the price).

Estero has been known to be the most expensive RV park in the area, so I would "assume" that their storage fees are not too cheap either. Shop around.

Unless you are going to travel extensively during every winter that you spend there - you'll be better off finding the place that you like and paying annual "camping fee". This will be cheaper than paying for annual "storage" (9 months is practically one year) PLUS 3 months camping fee, PLUS you will be given a different space every time you come, PLUS there might not be any space (or a good space) from time to time.

One more thing. If you opt for "annual storage", as opposed to "annual campsite", and will be towing it from the storage to campsite every winter - try finding a storage NOT near the coast. Salt in marine air will cause pitting on exposed metal parts after a year or two. Doesn't matter, Pacific or Cortez side. Shiny chrome handles, locks, exterior screws, even a sturdy-looking black frame - nothing is immune to this environment. Try getting a storage at least half a mile from the shore. Or - just let it be. After a few years you'll get used that your trailer looks like all the other machinery in Baja.

Compare the cost of buying a camper and truck, insuring, registering, storing, camp site fees and maintaining vs flying in and renting a car or getting a shuttle to your hotel/casita on the beach.

Gnukid, very often a trailer IS both hotel and casita.

When you already own and use it, there is no issue of buying and registering. Permanent trailers on camps don't usually have any insurance, and US/CAN registration or insurance on a trailer - for those who do have it - is cheap. Annual campsite cost the same as 3-months rent of casita in the same area, or less. A small trailer offers A LOT less comfort than any casita though. Basically, it's a place to sleep.

Estero Beach may be pricey, but it is very secure.

San Carlos has a trailer park - you should be able to leave it there - contact Solosports for pricing .

Look into Cielto Lindo RV and motel just south of San Quintin, maybe 1 hour north of El Rosario. I bet you could work something out with them. It's an old, funky place that has been there forever. They have space to store a trailer and it's somewhat secure. Check it out for a few nights. There's a bar and restaurant where the expats hang out. Talk with them. I think you'll like it.
