THAT's the spirit!
Day 1, to Santo Tomas is 25 miles south of Ensenada and has a big campground 'El Palomar', on the left, across from the Palomar Restaurant and Pemex.
The mission ruins (adobe rubble and a bit of a wall) are just north of the campground by the tall palms... Or to Punta Cabras on the beach... go south
of Santo Tomas to the only paved sideroad signed for Erendira and Coyote Cal's... about 11 miles in to the coast... and continue north a few miles
along the coast past Coyote Cal's for many camp areas. Punta Cabras, just north of, has sand dunes and sandy beach.
Day 2-3, to San Pedro Martir pine forest, observatory, view of the San Felipe desert from 9,280'... camp sites in Vallecitos, below the observatory
ridge... Only paved side road to the left south of Colonet... now paved all the way up. Or, (after seeing the observatory) go and camp at Mike's Sky
Rancho (access road is about 30 miles in, before Meling Ranch (also access for Rancho Coyote) Mike's has a running trout stream in the campground,
also a motel/ restaurant, pool... See my road log and photos http://vivabaja.com/905
Day 3-4, to San Felipe and south to Rancho Percebu, Shell Island or Nuevo Mazatlan for some beach time.
Day 5, head home after a lunch of fish tacos in San Felipe!

If you do San Quintin and like oysters (especially roasted over your campfire), I recommend a run out to the oyster farms on the road next to the
military base. Nothing like getting them straight out of the water, and you can't beat the prices.

Here's a link to a Baja camping guide I found. You can scroll up and down the peninsula to get to the area you want. They seem to have pretty
detailed info on campgrounds, but I have no idea how current the info is. Some area's (like the area in this link) have zoom in boxes.
Have a great trip!

edit to include this link to what seems to be the homepage for the Baja peninsula map. Just click on the map in the approximate area you are
interested to start ...

Took a look, and it seems the data to be about 3-4 years old... Has Camp Gecko (L.A. Bay) and Gypsy's (San Quintin)both still open for camping. Lot's
of photos of every camp... lots of details... Very nice link!
