Nice photos of Pete's camp. It looks nice and serene. The tide must have been out when we checked on two different ocasions, the tidal range is very
great. We were a group of three, one did not have solar and we were in San Felipe for a month. A plus for it was its close proximity to the golf
course, another for the friendly ambience.

washboarded road for half a mile, and the long drive into town, the sites' aspect being quite a ways from the water, were non starters. We stayed at
Club la Pesca RV, the one to the south of the commercial area, with the sand dune behind it. It offers a well built concrete apron that allows a few
32' or so rigs to park easily. At the end of this apron when we came in were two 40' rigs that made it in, but barely. No sewage at these sites, but a
dump is provided about 100 yds towards the dunes. The clubhouse has a small store, pool tables, television. There are showers we never looked at.
About ten palapas also shared the concrete, very suitable for smaller rigs or tents. Wifi at the club house. Like a lot of things in San Felipe, Club
Pesca was for sale. |
I have been on that 1/2 mile dirt road so many times ( Pete's Camp),, you call that washboard?? we can give you washboard 
that stretch is nothing

I note they have a their own grader, the times between usage dictate to a large extent conditions on the tract from the highway.. As an exalted
denizen you may get off lucky; as first-time visitors they didn't know we were coming. I will grant you a fact that we are not towing a modern
vehicle, making the shuddering, rattling, jarring, much worse. The 19 year old Chevy Geo Tracker is not now, nor was it ever, accused of being a
smooth vehicle on a marginal roadway. But yes, I too have been on worse. Just didn't like it.

Pete's camp is great.....if you are not there on the week ends. Hot showers Banos restaurant and a little hut bar. Campsites are extreme
close to each other.....you be okay if you dont roll over in your sleep...you may have a "NEW" hubby :-)
Campo Pescador or Campos Pescardo? Campos Pescardo has a chain across the entrance....a little occupied trailer with the host to take your five bucks
to get in. The site is right up at the first mountain before town.....across the street where the flatbed truck sells bricks. I can google Earth it
for your tonight. A shower and a banos 9ask ahead of time if these are still in-tacked). Primitive. NOT the holiday Inn.
Sure the best kept secret of San Felipe!!!!!!! Views to kill for. A Canyon that looks like the Grand canyon. Hiking. Fishing....blah blah blah. There
is a steep cliff......this place is NOT for a three year to be wondering around.
I am not impress with any other campsite North of San Felipe.
DavidK has a location that is south of San Felipe about 20 minutes out. Great camp ...lots of trees.....real blue waters. Now.....I cannot think of
the name of it! It's not Shell Island...it's........David?

Yes. Please google earth it for me. I looked on GE and didn't see any palapas on the beach where I think it is. Thx. |
No palapas......take a tarp and you will be a happy camper. I be REAL surprised if anyone is there :-) It's clean and it's a gem. Take firewood.
Great place to blow fireworks too. There are NO homes nearby :-)
