Camping near Jardines
Hi Folks,
On our way back North last year we stayed at Jardines. There was a campground right up the street, does anybody know the name of it or have any
contact details? I'm trying a very last minute (this weekend) trip South.
If not that one any campgrounds nearby that you can recommend? We'll be car camping with tent only
Thanks

Neat. We posted at the same minute. Like minds and all that!
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

That's the one, thank you all 
Any other campsites around that area as back up? We didn't bring our dog last year but would like to do so this time, is there much hassle with this?

Some miles north is Posada Don Diego at Colonia V. Guerrero. Turn west by the propane plant before dropping down the hill on Hwy. 1. It's about a mile
west.

Cieleto Lindo is a good place to go also, Jardines is good but seems more americanized to us. The restaurant at Cieleto Lindo seems more Old School
Mexico and the food and margies are really good.

No problem with dogs in Los Olividos. We have camped there a few times in the motorhome with our two dogs.

Heading South, is Lindo past the Jardine turn-off? Is that where the deadly margs are?

t matter too much. We'll do our duty and report back

I miss their 'new' Gypsy's campground and Wet Buzzard Bar... The kids and I utilized the indoor camping feature on a couple of rainy trips (early
2000's). Laura's breakfast burritos were great, too!

As I recall, Los Olivis is not up the street, but rather next door to Jardines.

Sometime 'north' is termed as 'up'... and it is just north of Jardines, as the OP said: "up the street"?
Upper (Alta) California is north of peninsular California, for example.
LOS OLIVOS RV PARK: http://www.losolivosrvpark.com/ (as posted already twice)
from the web site:
"Within walking distance from Los Olivos, is Jardines Baja Restaurant."

Thanks all, we got back home last night and we had a ball. We ended up staying at Mision Santa Maria right on the beach for 3 nights, couldn't fault
them, great stuff. I'll do a trip report this evening.

Looking forward to it!
I remember how impressive that hotel was when they built it in 1973, as the first of four El Presidente Hotels along the newly built Transpeninsular
Highway to serve the new, non-camping travelers.
The San Quintin/Santa Maria El Presidente used to have a swimming pool between the rooms and the beach. One El Niņo, a few years later, took care of
that!
The others were built in 1973 at Cataviņa, Parallelo 28 (near Guerrero Negro), and San Ignacio.

Despite all the upgrades made by the Los Pinos group, including a real chef in the restaurant, I can never get beyond thinking of "The Shining" when
I'm staying there. It's mostly about an awful original design.
