Right, John. That would be the Municipalidad de Ensenada........same as we would call a county up north. |
I actually get mail from the U.S. delivered to my address for the last few years I renew my cal. car reg. on line and they deliver the tag to my
house.

Dump? While Ensenada is not eye catching, one could clasify most of
Mex a dump if one is narrow minded, worked with a guy
at the San Onofre Nuke plant, who said he spent 7 yrs.
in G Negro, my reaction was ' what made you sit in that
wide spot in the road', he was a supt. at the Salt Works,
I remember him saying 'you can find beauty anywhere',
that's a phrase I carry with me

I think La Jolla Beach Camp is the best in the area. Hands down. Been camping there for 13 years. More bang for your buck and just great people in
the area.

This is one more reason why the discussion can not be productive. Not only they OP didn't tell "what" he needs, but also "where".

Estero is the place if you like full hookup, nice pool and hot-tub and a nice view. A bit expensive for mexican standards but it is also safe if
that's important to you.
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

I hope Campo Playa isn't still as bad as the last time I stayed there (1992).
Nothing worked right. Of course what sites services that did work were right up against the fence for the avenue where I guess they used to test cars
to see of they worked better without mufflers.
Estero used to be pretty isolated. How's the restaurant scene now?

Maybe it's not.
If you mean the RV park in town, across the street from Tutti Donas, I think it's history.
Went through town today and saw , from a block away, big "For Rent.......all or part" signs on the fence. Didn't have time to check it out.

Overpriced, yes. Safety... When I stopped by El Faro - bordering the Estero - there was a gated and manned booth at the entry. Seems to be same safe.
Locking everything when leaving the camp is a must, anyway.
What I like this forum for, is that we can talk, and talk, and talk... Some "happy hour"...
Without a clear direction this is going nowhere. What are they - OP- looking for? Why, and incidental question - where in Ensenada? To spend a few
days in "Ensenada county", to see what Mexico feels like  ?... Then they won't
see anything. Baja is not like the mainland, and this area is not like the rest of Baja either. Or - to spend a night before going some other place?
Then toss a coin, one night doesn't matter where, though I would rather stopped a bit further South.

Even though Mario, the last restaurant/ bar manager, has passed away it is still top notch for sea food, steaks and high end Mexican food

Thanks for the feed back. It looks like we will be getting some dental work done in and around TJ or in Ensenada. Found a place called Baja Seasons
RV Park, about 30 minutes north of Ensenada. Has anyone heard anything about or visited this location in the past?

It really used to be a upscale place Back in the day it was around 60dls.a day the economy really hit it hard. There used to be a lot of long term
Trailers and R.V.'S there but the place is almost vacant now. my only complaint other than price was it's in the Middle of no where. There is a new
place right next door to it but I have never seen much action there nor is there any signage to the Name. It's hard to tell or recommend what kind of
rv park you need not knowing what kind of rv you are in and how mobile you will be when you get parked.

Thank you for all of the replies. i guess we do need to give more details. We have a 97 35' Safari Diesel with a 98 Honda tow car. Nothing fancy but
clean, shinny and in good shape. We can dry camp for a week at a time but not our first choice. We are planning to stay 10-30 days to check out Baja
to determine if we will spend a season there each year while retired (winter most likely). Monthly rates would be nice. Estero doesn't give much
discount for monthly as best I can tell. We would like to be near a town with services but for this trip it is not necessary. Just afraid of arriving
and not having a place to stay or having to stay somewhere that's uncomfortable. The thought of paying more in Mexico than in the US is a little
troubling as well. Tips for security are welcome.

Looks like you have a nice Rig . on a side note my other half is going to a Dentist in Maneadero, She just had Caps put on her front uppers an today
she had a root canal to be followed up by a Post and Crown. She really likes the Dentist.and the price is much more reasonable than in the States.If
you are Interested you can P.M. me and I will give you information on the Dentist.
If you choose to go that route Villirenos in Punta Banda would work for a r.v.

Big with the Snowbirds, but it's out there, like between everything you want.
It's also windy as hell, but that's Pacific side Baja.

Villarino's is good and safe. Your tow car will make it easy to get around and explore the area and the wine country. Often times there are community
events that you can walk to from Villarino's
The quoted/posted rates at Estero are just that. I Know people who stay there in the winter every year and if you pay cash, you can negotiate them
down about 50%
