Camping at San Ignacio Lagoon
We always stay at a small hotel in San Ignacio and just drive out to the lagoon to whale watch, but this year we are considering camping.
We know there are the expensive packages for camping at the lagoon, but does any one know if it is possible to just drive out and camp out there for a
reasonable fee?

Last whale season we camped for several nights at the water's edge in our camper with our dogs—free of charge—just past Kuyima. It was lovely!

You can contact Kuyima and see what their rates are for the small cabinas that they have out there and they also do a family style meal in one of the
bigger palapas. You can google them and they do great trips for the whales.

Well, I guess we can wing it without the hook up---maybe not use the ice maker in our new rig. 
Thanks to you other two---we will check it out.

Are you a member of Discover Travel Club?
I believe that they have some camp sites available for members....not totally sure on that though. It would be worth checking out as I believe that
they are all the way at the end of the road, so to speak. You would be able to hear and see the whales from your camp site.

No need for a campsite/campground - plenty of places to camp. Set up your camp and find the concessionaire the night before to make arrangements for
the next morning.
We camped on a windy bluff a couple nights, apparently an indigenous habitation site. Found pot sherds, beads and other stuff.

Kuyima has campsites, plus you can use their showers/banos, and partake of their restaurant if it's windy and you're not in a mood to cook in wind
(it's "always" windy at la laguna)

Diane as mentioned Kuyima has nice campsites and also an area with little raised huts if you really want some civilization (and to get out of the
wind). We stayed there (in the huts) a few years ago. They had clean pit toilets and solar showers, all in all a good experience. ++Ken++
