Best place to camp in San Quintin?
Any suggestions for camping in the San Quintin area? Does Cielito Lindo still have camping next to the motel? It needs to be secure with bathroom
facilities. we don't need hook-ups.
Thanks in advance!

How about El Pabellon on the beach...just a short ways past the Cielito Lindo road... or the new RV park next to Jardines (about Km. 2)?

I seond El Pabellon. Cleanest restrooms in that area. Our favorite stop for sure. I used Cielito Lindo for a few years, but until they opened up
the beach area, it sometimes got a little noisy because of proximity to the restaurant and bar. Guess it all depends on what kind of experience you
are looking for since they are both very different.

I haven't felt comfortable camping at Pabellon for the last few years, nothing has happened to us, but we just don't feel comfortable there now. Also
there was a Nomad who had an incident in, or around the camp recently. Can't find the post.
For overnighting, we stayed at the campground next to Jardines recently. It was very clean, hot water, and secure. The guy that owns it is really
nice. Best part is walking over to Jardines for dinner. If we have to spend the night in that area this is where we will stay.

What is the condition of the road to the RV park? I have a 30 foot class A that I hate to bring down real rough roads. Dirt and potholes are OK, hate
the washboard.

I recommend Los Olivos or the bay peninsula strip. Not easy to get to but I haven't heard of anybody having any trouble down there. Great fishing from
the point too...

I stayed at Los Olivos last month. It was pristine and very secure. $17 for 2 nights (Truck and trailer).
No worries

The dirt road in to Los Olivos is only about 1 mile long and it was surprisingly free of washboard on our trip. But that was in August, and it is a
dirt road...
I don't think you'd hate it in your big rig Howard, but maybe someone else can give you a more recent washboard report.
With only 6 RV spots they could easily fill up. For those of us who don't need hook ups, I'm hoping they can accomodate us parking near the grassy
area if that occurs.

There are two roads that will take you from the highway to Los Olivos and both are in good condition. The north road that is marked The Old Mill
probably is a bit rougher than the 2nd (south) road a bit further down that has the Jardines-Baja sign. Guillermo and his crew maintain that road and
it is usually in excellent condition.

Two of us just stayed at Los Olivos on 1 and 12 Nov in truck campers. The price was $14 each on the 1st and 190 pesos each on the 12th. It is where
I plan to camp in that area in the future.

Awesome, thanks for the info. It sounds like Los Olivos will foot the bill, especially since where we are going I will be cook for the rest of the
trip. A good meal out is just what mom needs.

Do remember that Jardines restaurant is closed on Mondays. Los Olivos is really a beautiful spot ---close enough to the highway to be convenient, but
far enough away to not hear the noise.
Have fun!

El Pabellon
Here is the story. The week of October 17th two couples parked thier rigs at El Pabellon (the northern one, not Felipes). Just after mid night one
couple awakened in their trailer to find out they where underway. It appears that someone had stolen their pickup, with the trailer still attached.
They roled out the door, and the truck and trailer pulled away. Their friends who had seen them pull out, picked them up and took them to the hospital
for treatment and then the police. They got the trailer back but the pick up had not been found a week later. Pretty awful story, huh? Now here is
the rest of the story, we found out a week after hearing this story from friends of the couple that they had left their truck unlocked and the keys in
the ignition. No comment on that move required!

When I stayed there, there was a sign stating, you should lock your things up after dark. We ignored that, we've been to Baja over 200 times betwwen
us. We had 2 chairs and, 1 boogie board stolen. Not a safe place. I would recomend the point Punta Almara or Cabo San Quintin 4x4 only. Best location
in SQ.
