3 only Three!
We don't want to spend the entire trip traveling, setting up & breaking down.
What 3 locations would you stay / camp in an RV for a week or more? At least one location needs to have off-road access for a little dirt play!
Already going to spend 10 days traveling!
Thanks,

North or central or south? Pacific or Cortez side?

Need a little more help. What is more important, fishing, surfing? Do you need electric, bathrooms? Do you need to be able to go to town for
supplies? Etc., etc.
Can't beat the Bay of Conception.

We are fully self-contained so we can boondock. 5er Toyhauler so we have the pull vehicle plus toys, sidexside & kayak. Most important, warm
with as few bugs as possible. We are traveling the full length. Have made many fly-in trips but first in RV. Have many miles on the mainland.
Thanks LaRiberena!
Thanks Howard! We will be stopping at the Bay, just haven't decided how long. Have been there before but in a renta car.

fishabductor, Yes have done the Walmart thing. If you are only in route, get in late after a long day's drive and leaving early, why waste the money
with services you are not going to use & are self-contained!
See wasn't that easy!

They go there for overnight security while traveling from point to point.

Of course I'm a bit prejudiced but the camping beach at Punta Chivato for a self contained rig is really great. But the road in is a b-tch now. There
are so many place to ride the SxS or quad. The 2nd best is Asuncion. Well maybe Asuncion is better this time of year. And you don't have to worry
about Azulito stealing your water.

1: Bahia Conception
2: Loreto @ Rivera del Mar RV Park. Clean up, charge the batteries (mental and RV) and go to town for supplies, beer and a meal. Good for 1 night or
so.
3: La Ventana/ El Sargento just south of La Paz. Good for a couple or so nights
4: If they are still "open" Tecolote Beach just outside of La Paz. Nothing much to do but I love this place as it is right on the water with a
million $ view with a couple of nice beach type restaurants/bars. good for anywhere between 3 nights and a lifetime.
5: I don't care much for the hubbub of Cabo and San Jose.
I have made the trip more than a few times and these places are where I would go.
Anyone else out there, what do you think?

Yah... we need some better data to help you with three places... like how far south do you want to drive, what do you like to do...?
North to south for me in Baja Norte would be:
1) Shell Island Km 26 (Laguna Percebu Km 20 or Nuevo Mazatlan Km 32 could sub)
2) Gonzaga Bay (Campo Beluga or Sacrificio)
3) Bahia de los Angeles (Daggetts or other spots north of town)
You can do all sorts of off road day trips of exploration from those three places... limited supplies at 1 (Km. 35) & 2, everything at 3. Beaches
at all three.

Thanks everyone! MORE!
mcfez, Where is the pic location?
David K, Triple axle Toyhauler access? We are planning on making it to the Southern Tip of Baja going around the loop.
Loreto & Cabo are off the list as we have spent many weeks at both locations.
Thanks again,

What 3 locations would you stay / camp in an RV for a week.....I assumed they were going with a trailer or Motor home....Gonzaga Bay road trip would
be hell on wheels trying to get there.

It's Bahia de Los Angeles ...... is located 42 miles south east of Baja Highway One approximately 350 miles south of the U.S. One of the coolest
sights is when you crest the hill getting to the bay.....AWESOME sight!
U know...one can spend weeks at BOLA and see/do something new every day!
Fishing, snorkeling, island hopping, grocery stores, a pharmacy, a museum, a medical clinic, turtle farm......the list is endless. We like Daggetts

Ummm... I posted this above, so YOU could pick: See this at the bottom of all my posts?: Links to Baja Locations: http://community-2.webtv.net/vivabaja/tours USE IT to help you decide!
(towing would eleiminate much dirt road driving, so scratch Gonzaga... and because Hwy. 5 isn't paved all the way, scratch the San Felipe area... New
picks if it was me: L.A. Bay, Concepcion Bay, East Cape (La Ribera to Cabo Pulmo).
