I stay there every year for the San Felipe 250. Campsites are basic but nice, food is good at the restaurant/bar....Dennis is right though....it is
going to be HOT!

The closer you are to the water, the cooler it is (under a shade canopy or palapa). Been to Pete's El Paraiso more than once, but since I go to Baja
to get away from mobs and civilization, I never would stay there. 30 more miles south is the place for me!

Yep - Petes
The bar is a winner too, or, wait at your site for the pina colada truck to come by - assuming they come out to play in warmer weather.
Sure shouldn't be so crowded in the heat. We like it, stayed there a month ago and the water was fine!

Respect the guys question, we all know you camp on that
sand spit so. of Percebu, I like camping on a FREE beach
too, counting pelican trails all day, and at times getting
blasted by 35 mph winds at 3 am, others like running
water to shower, not having to use a plastic bag as
a restroom, and doing a bit of socializing
Guessing July maybe 108+
No spin DK, just a direct quote

I did respect (and respond) his question... If you are going to quote me, then include all of it, if you are going to spin my reply.
I don't pick a camping spot for money, I pick it on what I enjoy. Some people may 'need' man made infrastructure and services to have a good time, I
do not.
I added the last part (that you quoted) as the reason why I din't stay there, for his information.

Yes, I like Pete's Camp! The bar and restaurant are wonderful. The owner and staff are great people. It will be hot there in July, but I'll be down
there at that time, too..... loving every moment of it!! Go and enjoy yourself!
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Check out Blowin' Smoke BBQ Rest. (Nomads) out at the highway just 100 yards from Pete's Camp Entrance. Pete's is well established and run just the
way most people like it. The restrooms work, the showers work, the Margaritas work...
Do not drive onto the low tide line, you'll never get your vehicle back, I'm not kidding...

I go to Pete's every time we go to SF. We stop for dinner and drinks before we go to our casa.
I know the owners and they are very nice folks. The food is good and you can take a hot shower for 2 bucks.
Tell Juan, the bartender, hello!!

If you can handle 105-120 degrees at the end of July, you'll absolutely be ecstatic about Pete's Camp. There's always something fun going on.
The restaurant is excellent, and if Norma is doing the cooking it's even better. She's a gourmet cook.
Cuco the bartender will have you seeing double in no time flat.
I've been going there for some 10 years plus for dinner and fun, excellent.

Maybe with the huge drop in tourism, Pete's Campo El Paraiso might be okay, afterall?
I have been there in '79 after pitting for the Baja 500 (Baja Internacional), and a few years ago we tried the restaurant there for lunch... but, not
since. I read someone had their truck stolen while they were eating a few years ago.. so the place was never too attractive to me.
But, if John M says it is good, I trust him!

The food is good, but the patrons all smoke like chimney's making your food taste like a combination of Marlbourgh, Newport, Camel, Winston, etc...
