in SQ. |
Was that at Los Olivos or El Pabellon??

Hmm, we have stayed at El Pabellon at least 7 or 8 times in the past 5 years and have never had a problem.
We do lock up at night and the 2 - 100 lb dogs sleep in the truck.
I think we will try Los Olivos next time though.
I'm wanting to try the food at Jardines !!

That stated above DID NOT happen at Los Olivos. Los Olivos is locked at night and has a fence around the entire property as well as a security guard
that lives on site. We have never had any problems at our RV park.
We have HOT showers and are located one mile off the highway. We are next door to Jardines hotel and restaurant. Los Olivos is kept very clean.
We have full hook-ups.
We also offer tent camping on the grass under the olive trees. Stop by and check us out. Thanks

I did not think it was your place---his post was not clear that he was referring to the other place.
We stay at Jardines quite often and have never had a problem even in the open parking lot-----your RV place looks very nice and we have suggested to
several people.
Good luck---your place along with Jardines is a real oasis in the middle of the farm land.

How about a beach camping spot near San Quintin? Fenced camping is not what I'm looking for. I've stayed in the dunes near the La Pinta (or whatever
its called) but hiding the car is a problem. Any funky places like Cielito Lindo that is on the beach?

Marty, listen to Bajagringo...he's a local. If you have a high clearance 4x4 and want adventuresome beach camping he suggested the peninsula. It's
beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
No worries

You can drive down the beach from Cielito Lindo or El Pabellon to the south where the giant sand dunes begin... Locals drive this beach for clam
digging (even in 2WD sedans).
Next, would be to go out to La Bocana beach, 5 miles west of El Rosario. Some day use and some campers out there once in a while... Very beautiful
beach.
EL ROSARIO to LA BOCANA (High Road)
0.0 mi. Turn Right off highway at the sharp bend in town.
Continue west passing by the road left to El Rosario de Abajo and Punta Baja.
0.8 mi. Fork, go right.
1.2 mi. Fork, go right... road heads uphill.
1.5 mi. Pass palapas and banana trees, climb hill.
2.2 mi. View point, see La Bocana beach.
2.6 mi. Go straight, left is a poor road.
2.9 mi. Fork, go left... Ahead is a locked gate.
3.0 mi. Fork, go left... Right is the entrance gate to Diamante Del Mar.
3.6 mi. Fork, go ahead/ left. Right is a poor road.
3.9 mi. Fork, go right, to the beach.
5.3 mi. La Bocana Beach
EL ROSARIO to LA BOCANA (Valley Road, 4WD)
0.0 mi. Turn Right (west) off Highway 1 at the sharp curve in El Rosario.
In about 100 yards, turn left on road for El Rosario de Abajo and Punta Baja.
Cross over El Rosario river culvert pipe and soon turn right in the river valley, some water crossings before reaching the south bank of the river and
entering the town of El Rosario de Abajo.
1.5 mi. El Rosario Museum, on left. Photos taken inside at http://vivabaja.com/505/page6.html
1.6 mi. Rosario de Abajo mission ruins, on right.
2.5 mi. Road left for Punta San Antonio and the coast south of Punta Baja.
2.9 mi. Road left for Punta Baja, continue ahead (west).
3.1 mi. Turn right for La Bocana, deep water crossing soon.
4.2 mi. Come to a fence, turn left to opening then continue west, Deep sand ahead.
5.1 mi. La Bocana Beach
==========================================
Here is a photo of the beach way south of San Quintin, up in the giant dunes, I mentioned earlier...

Two of us just stayed at Los Olivos on 1 and 12 Nov in truck campers. The price was $14 each on the 1st and 190 pesos each on the 12th. It is where
I plan to camp in that area in the future. |
$14 seems a bit pricey. is that w/ hookups?
What's El Pabellon these days? - was $5 PP last winter.

This is a link to Los Olivos----some nice pictures and information.
Doesn't really answer your question, but they do have an e-mail.

I personally would avoid any remote camping locations in the San Quintin area. Too many violent attacks on campers in the past. That's why many of the
pay campgrounds have 24 hour security guards and gates and fences.
I believe El Pabellon has a night security patrol? If you leave your easily grabbable stuff out on a public beach at night and your keys in the
ignition well....

We've camped in several spots along the Bahia. We just do the beach camp thing. The first time was along the bahia side, needed 4x4 to get in and out,
but didn't see another person for the entire four days out there! The second time was on the ocean side, just past the main beach. It was much more
crowded (some in and out traffic - it was the weekend) but only one other family of campers. We made friends with a lot of the locals on that trip!
Unfortunately, the last trip we went out that way, the beach road was deteriorated due to the collecting of the sea rocks. It was difficult to get out
to our usual camp spot without going directly on the beach, and we had our friends following in a 2 wheel drive (and it was a definite no go for
them).

If any of you decide to camp out on the peninsula, let me know. I am located just at the north end of the peninsula on the Pacific side and I will
show you how a Cadillac Margarita is properly made...

San Quintin is an overnight pitstop for us. We roll in just before sunset and leave at sunrise. 50 pesos to sleep in our truck camper at Cielto Lindo
using one of the vacant hook-up sites just inside the RV park. Weekend nights can be noisy.
We even boondocked behind the PEMEX at the Cielto Lindo turnoff one night in the winter when it was cold and raining to avoid the wet dirt at Cielto
Lindo. Very convenient and safe, restrooms and coffee in the morning.

I think I'm glad I didn't read this about bad guys in SQ before we left. Our trip to BOLA started late Saturday and we didn't make it to any of the
places near Sta Roslia you all helpfully mentioned... We did roll in late to San Quintin. I didn't want to drive way south to the La Pinta area and
then back up in the morning so I just found a spot towards the Old Mill on a side road and pulled in next to some trees. No problems. Stocked up on
fresh veggies, seafood and fuel and headed out.
