Intro and ?
Hello all. My name is Ross and I've been lurking on this site for a year or so and really appreciate all of the great information that is available
here. I have been trying to get registered for the past few months but continued to get the message that the dailt registration total had been
exceeded. Well i apparenty hit the sweet spot early thts morning and was able to get registered
I am a kayak fisherman and have made a few trips to Baja camping and fishing in the Cortez side. I have plans in the next year to take a few trips to
the Pacific side, with the first trip being to Bahia Asuncion.
First question. There is a spot that I have seen on a couple maps just south of San Quintin where the highway skirts close to the Pacific called Campo
Costa Rica. Can anyone comment on How acessable this spot is and if there is any camping spots available?
One more question. I'm headed down to Bahia Gonzaga next week.There is a spot just north of Willard Bay and Bahia Gonzaga, there is a campground
called El Faro. I believe there is a lighthouse on the point there. Has anyone been there recently that can give some information on the camping
situation there.
That's all for now and thanks for all of the great info available here

El Faro is not really a campground, and most of the long term gringo renters have abandoned their houses, trailers, ect and just left.

The El Socorro area has baffled me more years. It would seem that having oceanfront locations would be a big draw. The same is true of the long time
projected develpment out on the peninsula by the volcanoes. I'm guessing that for many weekenders, it's just too far of a drive. That, plus until just
recently with the opening of a couple of major chain grocery stores in the San Quintin region, there was always the feeling that it was just too
primitive. Just a guess.
