Camp Rene
This is a vicarious trip report:
My husband and his friend are just back from a road trip during which they stayed one night at Camp Rene. The rooms are still spartan but they could
not stop talking about Ricardo, who is running the place now, and how clean everything was and how great the food was. They had a fried shrimp(12 on
each plate) dinner and breakfast there.
Just thought I would share

If you are heading south on Mex 1, the right turn to Abre is after Viscaino but before San Ignacio. The new paved road heads most of the way out to
the Pacific coast.

At great risk of having a friend from Abreojos show up at our home on his quad in a not very happy mood   , here is where Abreojos is. It is also well know to the surfers.
It is on the south part of the Vizcaino Peninsula and about 60+/- miles from San Ignacio. The road to Abreojos is mostly paved now---but not all the
way. The turn off to Campo Rene is well marked.
You can also reach Abreojos from Bahia Asuncion on a 68+/- dirt road----can be a slow but beautiful drive. Don't think, howeve, I would drive a
motorhome over that road.
We love Campo Rene and the website is very nice and shows lots of nice pictures of the place.
The cabins are stark, small, but clean and nice. The bathrooms are newer and separate, and VERY nice.
It is a beautiful place to watch the sunset and the extreme tides ---lots of birds, and across the road is a very empty beautiful beach.

I think anyone who has been around here for while knows that you live in San Jose del Cabo and you like to get away when you can and camp in some
beautiful out of the way places.
Sorry you did not get to go on the road trip.

Yes I am sorry that I didnt get to go too but it was much better that I stayed here with our house guest.
The disculpe was for my ignorance nada mas. When I reread my post I was horrified to see that I had called it Camp Rene.

Well, you caught it before the spelling police arrived.
Does show that a slight mispelling does not take away from knowing where a place is----never noticed that you wrote Camp rather than Campo.
I really am glad that to hear they are having good management now after some of the problems over the last few years. Great place to go.

Camp(o) Rene is arguably the best campground on the pacific side. A beautiful spot that's inexpensive to stay with a good restaurant. It's also an
excellent place for birdwatching. You can probably spot 20 species without getting off the balcony at the restaurant. It's also isolated and still has
much of the baja feeling that abreojos has lost since the paved road went in.

No problem getting to Campo Rene or Abreojos with your rig.
I think the road is paved all the way to Campo Rene or darn close.
I think the last 7-8 miles into Abre (past the campo) are still dirt but no big grade changes.

Hey my purpose was to let people know about this place so no hijacking here.
I havent been in over 5 years but loved the place and still have some bird shots from the aforementioned porch.
My husband said that Ricardo was so nice and the place was so clean and the food was so good that I just had to share.

It really looks like they've cleaned the place up. I stayed there a few days in May of '06 and we had a good time exploring on quads. Here a phot
bucket site with some pics of that trip.

Campo Rene
We stayed there two years ago there is some really fun lite tackle fishing in Estero coyote. Fished from a small aluminum boat. Also La Bocana is
close by, fished from our kayaks there had a blast.

Breakfast comes with "hush brows" - ummm!
I spent 4 nights kayaking way back in the estero - really fascinating. Also, got lucky and saw my first actual grunion on the beach there.
