storm and the concrete bed pedestals are covered with mold, the showers are a cold trickle.
we still had a fine time for a group of old crusty gringo's but I can't imagine many folks tolerating the condition of the place...... |
The COOP had a contractor come in and build them. They were going to do this for all the cabanas...but decided to wait.

Airports of Baja California by Arnold Senterfitt
1974 Data
Arnold's 1980 page is pretty much the same.
I was last at Campo Rene in 2007, runway was beautiful and one plane was tied down there, as I recall.

Well since you were there in 2007, you must have the "real" story.

Hope you have a great time...
Flying Baja used to be a major factor for sportsmen to enjoy the peninsula... before the ditching of up to 200 runways and bureaucracy and plane
thefts! If you are inclined or have any, would sure love to see aerial photos of Baja places! Here is the Private Pilots forum, on Nomad: http://forums.bajanomad.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=36
