I'll be in Gonzaga in 3 1/2 weeks with my younger brother, and want him to experience Gonzaga - Does Alphonsinas take reservations, or first come,
first served? (Haven't stayed there in many years...)

Many reports about reservations, so use the Nomad search (top left of page), but you have to spell the place correctly: ALFONSINA'S

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

There are a couple of TV's at Rancho Grande that the locals sometimes gather and watch. Not sure if they will get the Super Bowl or even want to watch
it. Majority rules.

The store/taco stand/bar across from the PEMEX has a TV. Saw it working last week. Don't know if they get the Superbowl

Rancho Grande
Rancho Grande can be a bit crowded on weekends - and there are more palapas - something like two dozen of them. Some of the outhouses are ok - we just
take a bag of lime to "sprinkle after you tinkle" - keeps the outhouses more pleasant.
The weekend crowds disappear by Sunday afternoon and you will have more solitude until the following Friday. I agree, March can be windy. The market
at Rancho Grande is a pretty good one, and there is a tire shop/mechanic behind it. I'd ask at the store about R/V dump - but taking a portable tank
is the best idea as suggested.
Palapas are really large and the first ten or so have wooden sides installed half-way around lately to provide a very nice wind break, and a tiny bit
more privacy.
Palapas all lined up on the beach
Dawn at Rancho Grande
No so in focus
Nothing to do with this thread but - at the Colonial Hotel in Mexicali a day before the NORRA race - brand new BFGs but not so for the front hubs.
They finished the race in fine style!

Are there any enclosed palapas at CBeluga?
3 years ago we stayed at RGrande and it was cool and windy, fortunately, we had an enclosed palapa that opened to the beach. It kept us sheltered from
that NW breeze. Wonderful sunrise the next morning!

We always take several tarps....some rope.....for wind/sun protection. Works very well.

We went to Punta Final a couple of weeks ago. It is a kayakers paradise. It costs $12 with no services other than an outhouse.

Where (in relation to the private homes) is this camping area?
