I hope the campers were able to leave! Sorry...I couldn't help myself, and I know nothing about the campground.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Great name for a business, lol, "get out if you can"!
That name may have first been made famous by Perry Meson creator, Erle Stanley Gardner in his 1961 adventure book, Hovering Over Baja. Sal Si
Puede is a canyon full of palms, north of the road to Bahía de los Angeles. To Gardner, it meant get IN if you can!
When his land and sea based attempts, with specialized trail motor bikes, failed... He convinced a helicopter company that Baja would be a great place
to test their copters!

I camped there a lot growing up but thought they had permanently closed 5-10 years ago. I think I had someone told me they had camped there recently
but I didn't believe them.
In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for
you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the
future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?

Last I heard you can camp there again. I drove in about two years ago and you could camp or rent a little cabana thingy. Do t know after these rains
lately but I bet it’s fine.

I camped there in April, 2021. The steep section up top at the locked gate/guard post is paved. Campground was clean and redone then. If it was only
rain that closed it, it's likely open again. If you're driving by, it's only a quick stop to find out.

Somebody I know tried to surf there last weekend, he was told it was sold due to change in ownership, so no access currently.
Not sure if that will change, or if new owner has a different idea for the place.

friend of mine gave it a shot last Saturday, gate guy said they were closed for repairs for 3 months so who knows.
You'd think the 15 bucks a head they were charging is tempting enough to open back up.

My father camped and fished there with his father in the early 40's. In the late 40's (balsa boards) and early 50's (foam) my father and his buddies
went surfing there a few times. One time the surf was so good they did not leave soon enough when the rain came and spent a few extra days. He said
when they finally made it out he found mud in and on his panel truck for a long time.
In the early 2000's the whole place was for sale and they claimed to have the plans and permits for two 18 hole golf courses. 2008 and the bubble
burst and here we are now.

It is not. Playa Salamando is another exit South.
