Yep, until you actually enter the US. Then it gets a lot better. You don't suppose all those illegals are dying crossing the desert into the US for
nothing, do ya?

Back in the late 1980's when we started camping in Baja we were told the same thing.
Next time you head south of San Quintin look at those beautiful Sand Dunes and long stretches of beaches all the way till you turn "left". There is a
reason you seldom see campers on that stretch.

The first time I drove out the road to Cielto Lindo to spend the night in my camper (about 20 years ago I guess) I headed out to the beach. After
setting up camp (opening the cooler) I noticed as the sun started to set a stream of old pick-ups with scruffy young men in them passing by heading
back towards town, giving me the eyeball. Fishermen I guess.
I felt like a Bank of America branch office with the vault open in the middle of nowhere. I broke camp (closed the cooler) and headed back to Cielto
Lindo.
It's a sketchy area, even for me, a resident of quaint and charming Tijuana.

When we stay at Palapas Alvinos on the beach in Pabellon, Fidel spends the night in an old camper shell on the hill to watch over us.
Talk about feeling safe!

Thought about camping on the beach in that stretch back in the late 1980's....Followed a road through a gully to the beach; right at the mouth was a
large pile of women's purses that had all been cut open, I guess looking for hidden money pockets.... . We went elsewhere.
