La Gringa
How is the camping situation at La Gringa nowadays?
Is Daniel still in charge and what is he charging?

Joni,
Welcome to Nomads. La Gringa is a large place with several camp grounds. Which place in particular are you referring to? I consider everything north
of the military base as La Gringa. Maybe your definition of La Gringa is different.
To answer your question in general, more than likely it is the same as when you were here before, change comes very slowly here.
Off grid, 12-190 watt evergreen solar panels on solar trackers, 2-3648 stacked Outback inverters, 610ah LiFePo4 48v battery bank, FM 60 and MX60
Outback charge controllers, X-240 Outback transformer for 240v from inverters, 6500 watt Kubota diesel generator.

When we were down in October we were told the couple who was running the campground under the La Gringa sign were moving to Mexico City and that they
had not found anyone to take over yet but were looking.

We camped about a mile north of the office/ house at La Gringa earlier this year. Beautiful view of the islands. Where exactly does the "campground"
end? I thought we were beyond the campground, but upon departure were asked to pay the camping fee. I think it was about $10 US. No big deal, we paid
it. Just would like to know if anybody has any info.

Was only there once, and it was about 4 months after Odile. Was nice and empty, we were the only campers. Daniel collected our money and picked up our
trash. There were no outhouses.

We just left La Gringa a week ago. Daniel was removed from his place at La Gringa by the federal police from Ensenada when we were there. Something
about over charging for camping. The federal police said that the shore of La Gringa is federal property and no one can charge you to camp there. If
you want to pay someone for services for picking up garbage it's OK for them to charge a small fee but only if you agree to it.

So, does that mean that all shoreline in Mexico is available for free camping?
Don't believe everything you think....

i think it is public access. someone running a business in the zone would need the proper paperwork-concession.

I was camped there about 6 years ago - the fat guy ( the guy before Alfredo) was collecting $5 camp fee. The Park Rangers came by and told us not to
pay him and that we were supposed to get a camping permit from them town - that was $7 / day.
