The ejido campground called La Casa de Ballena Gris has campsites that were about $5 and over a dozen palapas that are $10 a night with no limit on how many camp in a site. You can jump on a panga right there too between 8-4 in the afternoon. They used to charge $45 a person but prices may have gone up.

I also arrange private camping at the middle lagoon Pta.Mariscal where my tours leave from. It is $10 a night and there are bathrooms, a little snack bar and I have glamping tents for rent there too for $25 a night too if you dont have your own gear. But this area is restricted so I nee to get you a permit to pass through the salt works to get to the site.

The pangas take 8-12 people depending on the size and if you want a private boat you usually have to pay for at least 6 tickets depending again on the time of year and if they are busy or not.


Thank you for your reply.

Seeing that we are going as a Scout troop, we have lots of tents so no need to rent one.

Is there a way to reserve a site at La Casa de Ballena Gris? Is there typically room there without a reservation? Last time I was there it was early in the season and there was lots of room but that was ~10 years ago. We plan on going near height of the season (probably Feb 16 as first day). Is there a way to reserve a site at your place (Pta.Mariscal)? How do your trips out to see the whales differ from the ones at the usual place La Casa de Ballena Gris) (cost, time, etc.)?

I want to be as sure as possible that we have a place to stay and boats available to take us out to see the whales. I have been twice and both times have been fabulous (my son kissed a young whale on the lips last time).

Thanks
