Guerrero Negro
Hey all,
Does anyone know if there is a good spot to stay in an RV in Guerrero Negro, or if not another cool spot nearby?
Thanks!

The Mallirimo Motel has lots of RV spots, hot showers and the best restaurant in town. We have stayed in our RV and in the motel many times.....dt

Be sure to have their scallops at the Mallarimo.
As da Pilot says, good place to stay.

We also like the Palapa RV park just north of town.
The showers were clean and hot.
The restaurant was pretty good but a little pricey.
And lots of room for the dogs to run.
Much better if you have an aversion to "parking lot" camping.

If you want to park in a cool spot and not in a parking lot type place, you can go to the old lighthouse...the locals call it la Isla...turn right
after the bank at the end of town and go all the way to the end...awesome bird watching on the way out there...about 10 minutes. There is neat stuff
to watch, fishing pangas going out, fishing off the pier etc.

Know what you mean about "parking lot" camping because that is what the Malarrimo is, but it does put you in town where you can walk to some other
places.
I know the food at Malarrimo is the favorite of many, but we find it overpriced, and things like their salsa quite gringofied. However, thier coffee
is good. But since so many like the food there, it is worth a try.
If you are at the Malarrimo and you want some good fish tacos, walk down the street to the "roach coach"----very good, very clean.

It is still there--it is the parking lot that surrounds the restaurant. There are hook-ups, and places strictly for RVs, but it is "parking lot"
camping. But a lot of people like it.

across the street from Malarrimo is a really neat, chic little cafe with wonderful coffee choices and pastries and breakfast stuff...also my breakfat
choice is the 30 peso breaky at Puerto Viejo I think it's called...nice place, OK coffee and great huevos rancheros o mexicanas...it is a couple
blocks south of Malarrimo ...past Caracoles too.

I had an excellent beef torta too - a tiny place just off the main drag - $1.50 or something. You can find excellent food in Guerrero Negro - and the
search is half the fun. There's a large grocery store close to Malarrimo's for fresh fruit, salsa, tortillas.
If you want a bit of an adventure, and depending on how large your RV is, take the road at Rosarito (no. of GN) that goes southeast (that starts from
the town - not the road that goes to the mision), and you'll find some great flat areas to camp, as well as awesome cardon forests, wild horses. We
got lost, thought we were on our way to la mision, got as far as the San Javier river (which was flowing about 6 in. deep and 20 yards wide - decided
not to try and cross it by car) and spent the night there - great camp site.

Not wearing my GPS hat right now. But, doesn't the main drag run East-West? That would make South of Malarrimo the salt flats, no? Puerto Viejo Is
toward Mex 1 from the two places you mentioned. As as for breakfast, we've enjoyed eating at Nautilus in the Plaza Caracoles.

Is La Isla a campground or just a place where people pull over? That sounds like an interesting option.
GN is situated at the end of a long day's drive whether we're going North or South and after 12-14 hrs on the road, Malarrimo's parking-lot type park
with level spots and hot showers is usually just fine for the night. But someday we may arrive in town with some time to spare and Malarrimo can fill
to capacity in the winter with caravans so a back-up spot would be nice to have.
We still like San Remedio for dinner and have had good breakfast there.

WE drove all over looking for San Remedios a few weeks ago, as we've been wanting t try it. So just where IS it from Malarrimo?? We've seen it in
past trips, but for various reasons haven't tried it yet. If we make a trip north in a few weeks I sure hope to go there!
Ola, I've missed something here~~ tell me about the snakes!

Unfortunate circumstances is a nice way to put it.
Last time we looked it was still closed and we talked to one of the ex waiters who was working at the grocery store. But we did not check the last
few times we have been through. It sure was a good place to eat!

Oladulce...La Isla is just a cool spot at the end...used to be an island but a road was built out to it and it was used as a loading dock for salt
many years ago...there is a lighthouse there too...nice flat spot to park...quiet and beautiful.
Santa Remedio is open and run by the original manager...turn right coming into town just before the big supermarket Tiangis and go a couple
blocks...there is a big sign on the main street.

We have always liked to camp on the beach an El Tomatal just a little north of GN. Lovely beach and almost always deserted. The turn off is right at
the military checkpoint.
