Put a Baja Nomad sticker on the back of your rig.

I don't think it would be a problem to get to camp beluga. The only issue is I think a class C would be too big if other campers are there.

Here is the thread with ordering info... However, it isn't from this year, so maybe contact Doug to confirm?: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=63889

If you are just staying one night I would Rancho Grande. It is a much closer and easier drive than bulugas. They Charge 10 dollars for open palapas and 20 dollars for enclosed palapas for the night. Bulugas Charges 20 dollars for the night for open palapas. Just stop at the store on the road and pay and then drive in on the road to the right of the airport. quick and easy. Bulugas is a little harder to find the road in and you have to drive for about a mile or so off the road to the camp on a sometimes maintained road. If we are going for a few days we will stay at bulugas for the quieter beach. but even that is going away. have a great time. and watch out for the vados on the road down.

Thanks Nick. AKG mentioned R Grande but didn't state prices. Good reminder about the steenking vados. Pavement seems surreal to me since I haven't driven that route to G Bay since 1983. The road was almost unmakeable back then. Did it in a 79 Scout with sloppy springs and an immense 34 gal gas tank that got punctured shortly after Puerticitos.

re: Rancho Grande Still rents to campers...dust is still a bit of an issue, but MUCH better than right after they mowed down 640 acres of desert fauna...and the palapa area is hard packed and easy to camp on...

Beluga has great outhouses ( they alternate between one being an outhouse and the next is a shower)

While hundreds of the BajaNomad stickers still exist, right now's a difficult time for me to make commitments in getting more of them out. There are still a handful of people waiting to get stickers they requested.

Thank you everyone for your very kind understanding.

Most of the Rancho Grande palapas are now partially enclosed.

Rancho Grande


The Palapas at Rancho Grande are twice the size as those at Beluga, and if (if?) it's windy the enclosed Palapas offered at Rancho Grande make the stopover much more enjoyable.

The outhouses are fair to poor but available, and nearby - just throw some ashes from a previous campfire in to help quell the stench.

And the access road to Rancho Grande is less than a mile and is kept in good shape.

24 Baja: I am in Brookings enjoying a nice sunset here on the bluff north of town. I tell ya its great here, but a Baja sunrise/sunset still has an edge. Since you are BofLA folks, I have to add the sunsets watching the land colors off the islands are among the finest moments in my life. So many shades of earth tones.
