Camping San Pedro Martir
We'll be heading up to the pine forest area in a week or so. From earlier posts it appears that there are "campgrounds" of a sort. Is camping
relegated to these campgrounds? Any advice is welcome.

Last time I was there there was a designated camping area...no facilities....but like any remote area I think you may be able to set up just about
where you want to....you may be the only camper there !!....small fee to enter the park....can be VERY COLD and WINDY so be prepared....snow on the
ground?.....maybe !!....

John,
Will be up that way next week. Check out this thread:

We will be camped in the Parque National, but only for one night as we will be heading out to climb Picacho del Diablo.

Think you should expect a little snow in some places on the ground as the storms were late this year. Two weeks ago we could see some patches on

Yes, there are 4-5 areas in the park for camping. In these areas, there are some tables, bbqs, some fire rings, and even some outhouses. I camped up
there in Oct. and had the place to myself. Check out the trip reports and/or do a search for more details and pictures.
Enjoy!
Zac

Bring your own drinking water. There is nothing available except for water coming out of a spring that empties into a steel drum. You can find this
on the left-hand side of the road, a few minutes *down* the road from the Natl. park boundary/gate after you leave the park.
Visit La Tasajera - you can walk down to the meadow to see the endimic trout. Andrew chose to drive down instead...
If your Jeep is not locked and if you do not have a winch and a couple of Jeeps following you down, then you'd better walk in.
If you see Emigdio, tell him Suzanne and I said, "Hi!" He remembers both me and Suzanne from trips in 2000 & '01.
Emigdio is a real nice guy, but he speaks with a bad lisp which makes understanding his Spanish very difficult. He has a brother who also works in
the park for SEMARNAP named Eligio who is also a great guy.

Prepare for some cold nighttime temps, and watch for rattlesnakes. The road up the mtn. is paved now, and they offer guided tours of the observation
area on Saturday mornings. Its a beautiful facility. Have fun, Marnell!
