Puerto San Francisquito.
Anyone ever camp there? I've stayed at Punta SF, back when it had a few cabanas before the hurricanes killed it. This trip will be in our jeeps with
some offroad Aussie trailers.
Looking to do some fishing and maybe some hiking, any place that I should plan on going in the area/
I've always been on a moto in the past and just stayed for the night. Thanks

Last time I camped out there was on the beach at the cove. Paid a few bucks for the showers there. Was a nice quiet area and had some tacos over at
the restaurant next to the air strip on the other side of SF. Was pretty desolate and the cabanas were mostly gone with a couple remaining in really
rough shape.
Just be prepared for a lot of bees if you leave anything out they can drink. I will be back down again for a camping fishing trip there in the spring.
Enjoy!

Although it was 2017 when I was in the area, many things are slow to change: the old fly-in resort, Punta San Francisquito was a sad sight and in poor
shape. There was a staffed cantina and a couple cabanas available. Beto's Puerto San Francisquito was beautiful, has camping and a cabana for rent. He
has internet email and a website. His son was a member here and posted the details. From memory, www.puertosf.com
My trip photos are in the January 2017 album at vivabaja.com or the trip report here or linked on VivaBaja.

Last time we were there we stayed at Beto's cove and camped on the beach. Fishing should be great based on the fish swimming under his dock. Campers
have access to showers and bathrooms.

Great info, I stayed at Punta SF several times before all of the damage, but never at Beto's place. Looking forward to some good fishing as well.
We will have 3-4 weeks of off-roading and camping, might make it all the way to Cabo, but might not.
Also hoping to try and get out the backway from Auga Verde, I've seen a few videos, and we have pretty well-built jeeps, so we will see how it
goes. I'll report back with a trip report.

Please don't kill any bees. Instead, put out some shallow dishes with sugar water or other liquids with fructose, salt. This will keep the majority
of them away from the beverage you're drinking or off your food, and nourish them and their role in the ecosystem. We need bees. Thanks.

The aggressive bees arrived in Baja years ago, these are the Africanized or Killer Bees brought to Brazil in 1957 and accidentally released.
I think my first times being attacked were 20 years ago. They are attracted to fresh water and the color blue (sun tarps), from my experience.
My contact with them was camping on Shell Island and near Coco's Corner, when I stopped to fix a flat tire.
Obviously, they are all over Baja and seemingly not as aggressive as decades earlier. While the multiple stings aren't so deadly, it may be a big deal
if allergic. Make sure you have an epi pen if allergic.
