The Best Of Baja......Campgrounds
Ok, after posting the best of RV parks, DK asked about campgrounds, so lets start a separate category for campgrounds. I would like to keep this list
of campgrounds associated with an organized location and not a camping spot on the beach, we can add a separate posting for the best camp spots off
the beaten path.
I would like to categorize it by Pacific and Sea of Cortez.
Please provide the following, if possible:
1. Campground Name
2. Campground style, Rustic or Facilities
2. Location, if you can provide either GPS coordinates or a google map
3. Any information regarding pricing, contact information, web page etc.
4. Your personal experience, why you liked it or didn't. And when you went, what time of year, local attractions etc.
Thanks
Once I have these compiles I will repost them in a organized data base

I'll add one. However, when you get to the list of off-the-beaten path camp spots, I won't reveal my secrets!
Los Olivos campground, San Quintin. Cost is $80 pesos for one person, not sure about the cost for more than one person. Clean, with playground,
showers. Located in an olive grove, fenced, next to dirt city street which can be a bit noisy, but usually quiets down after dark. Walking distance
to Jardines restaurant down the street. Happy hour there 4 - 7. Unusually good birding. The 3 times I have stayed there, only 1 or 2 other campers.
See signs on Hwy. 1.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Campo/Playa/Rancho Nuevo Mazatlan
Cortez side, near San Felipe, about 23 miles south, kilometer marker 32.
Shade tree camping (the only forest next to a beach in Baja!), Showers (unheated), Flush toilets...
Baja Nomad Matomi Run President's Day Weekend Group Camp 2004:
When we couldn't get onto Shell Island, in 2006 as it was surrounded by water, as it occasionally does, we camped at Nuevo Mazatlan with Hotschott and
Val...
Steve 'Hotschott' at the old well, 'AGUA DE CHALE',
which has got a new brick extension
and capped for safety by present owner of Nuevo Mazatlan, Javier.

Haven't stayed there recently but Punta Chivato I hear is still open. Trash pickup was provided and a few holy palapas with some moorages in front of
the camp. Look out for sting rays.

Camp Beluga, Gonzaga Bay
GPS: 29°46.47', 114°22.97' (NAD27)
View from space: http://goo.gl/maps/QTx1Y
Campo Beluga has a nice set up with palapas, flush toilets and showers.
It is located just over a mile south of Alfonsina's and Rancho Grande.
My trip report Belugs comment from President's Day weekend 2007:
We stayed at Campo Beluga (1.2 miles south of Alfonsina's Pemex/ Rancho Grande store) and Baja Angel and I were VERY IMPRESSED! Palapas, flush
toilets, showers(not heated)... $15 per night.

Try San Lucas Cove. The campground is now kept very clean, fresh hot water, a restraunt on the weekends that matches Rays. Good spot when going
north or south. $10 a night.

We drove through SLC on our return trip. I agree that it appears to be well kept. Beachfront all seemed to be permanent folks. Easy access and
turn-around.

Have not returned since family shut off water to Arturo's camp after our last trip in 2008. Do you have any updates? Only Arturo's had private camp
sites, very special indeed.

I like the one next to San Lucas Cove. Friendly and cheaper.
La Jolla Beach Camp is the best on the Pacific side. Just a few miles South of Ensenada.

pacific campgrounds
I for one am hoping this thread gets traction. With the extent of knowledge here, it could turn into a list of real value for my proposed trips down
the peninsula. If only I had this kind of information in the old days.

There is a campground with running water, bathrooms and showers in San Nicolas owned by Terry Bastida.
Problem is communication.
There is a store, church, medical clinic and school in San Nicolas and fishing.
