Not sure if it helps you, but Nomad member Pacifico usually has Punta San Francisquito news. I was there last summer, and took these photos. We were
going to stay, but the brisk south wind and uninspiring staff at the cantina had us moving on for a nice camp at Bahia San Rafael.
Above two sign photos are at entrance to the bay/ cove of San Francisquito, two miles east of the resort.
Runway photo for pilots.
Another runway photo for the pilots.
Sign: camera facing west.

. . .David. . .Flew down to BOLA & swam with the whale sharks about 3 or 4 Octobers ago, then flew down to PSFO & got stuck with 70MPH winds
out of the North for 2 days ( Could not do anything / see the water from the palapas & sand in EVERYTHING ). . .Wind down to about 10+-MPH &
went for a walk on the beach & came upon a mama turtle digging a hole & laying the eggs (1st time for me ) went & got Juan, Mingo &
company & that is when the no driving on beach signs started. . . Also I have been unable to roust Juan on his Sat Fone. . .

If I were headed to PSFO I would go prepared to find the place deserted, anything more than that would be a plus. Been going there for many years,
last few years whoever was there didn't seem interested in anything other than sitting around. Not much left of PSFO of old unfortunately.....

I was reluctantto chime as you wanted recent info. I was there in April and the "resort" did have one or 2 cabins available and was serving $$$ meals
and $$beer. They are not very friendly folks.
From my observation, they hadnt rebuilt after the earthquake. They have cleaned up quite a bit.
At the Bahia, Memo and Beto have ice and fuel, but it aint cheap.
You basically have to haul in everything you need. The road was in somewhat bad shape, but we were in a Ford SVT Raptor and tore that road up'
No worries

We were there in August, but went in a larger boat so stayed in the bay and did not make it over to the palapas. I know they had some damage with the
earthquake, but everything looked about normal.

They are open and have cold beer! Not sure about diesel. Beto might have diesel...
I saw your other post, but haven't had time to reply. As for the firewood, don't try to bring it in; they will send you back if they find it. Unless
you hide it well.... There are plenty of places to buy some, just keep your eyes open for it along hwy 1. I have seen big piles of it south of
Enseada.
The road south out of BOLA is in really bad shape! Use the El Arco route....

In Baja, go prepared for any situation and have enough fuel to get to the next 'city' (Vizcaino or Guerrero Negro). If they are closed up, still have
a good time because you won't be surprised. If they are open, more stuff you can spend money on... but Baja is all around you and free.
If the resort is closed or out, the port, then Rancho Escondido, then Piedra Blanca are the next 'tourist' facilities if you can't wait to get out to
the highway and towns.

I was there last month. I don't have a phone number for them.
Have fun up at Mike's! His margaritas are awesome!
Make sure you have good tires ( and a spare or two) on your trailer! It wouldn't hurt to beef up your axle before your trip if you have the time.
Easier to do in the states before the trip. Those dirt roads are hard on trailers!
Rancho Escondido is close to Rancho El Progreso.....
