Camping Bahia de Los Angeles
Any suggestions on camping near Bahia de Los Angeles? I found Daggetts, but nothing else. Also, how is the scuba diving there? Any help is
appreciated. Thanks!

Sand beach at the south end ppast the private home area, and also at the north end near La Gringa. Gravel beaches at La Gringa and north.
If you need facilities or wish to be in a campground type place, then off the La Gringa road are several as you drive north from town.

Campo Archelon has always been good for us. I don't talk about it much as I don't want it filling up.

Thanks, guys. Any idea what kind of services are available at these camps? Showers? Flush toilets? Also, is the scuba/snorkeling any good? Thanks!

http://www.campdaggetts.info/ the website is really just crapola. Doesn't show much.
We found Daggetts to be a great spot for camping...has all that you were asking about. Should foul weather come up...their motel rooms are cheap but
very basic.
http://www.bahiadelosangeles.info/villa-bahia.htm allows camping in front of their simple but great little resort. Has all that you need plus
scuba needs.

Sr. Mcfez, I believe times have changed in regards to camping at Villa Bahia,
not happening in recent times...
Mexico!! Where two can live as cheaply as one.....but it costs twice as much.....

You are right. Just got a response from someone named Jean who informs me they do not offer camping.

Would agree to steer of Villa Bahia...if they had glory days (and it seems like they did) those days are over hate to say.
La Gringa is as basic as it gets...Five bucks a day per vehicle and you are on your own...but we love it!
As to scuba you may want to check out scuba forums in that this area gets really deep pretty fast but there may be areas that are worth it...and the
current can really get crackin so i would do my best to pin down a well known spot and not just try your luck here or there. Just off of Las Animas
south of L.A. Bay there is a little island I have seen scuba divers there so maybe that is a possibility?

Wow...I'll have email them to see about this. They used to all the time if there was just a camper or two.

This is why I didn't want to suggest anything to the question formulated "camping near Bahia de Los Angeles"  ... Everybody's idea of "camping" is different.
Antonio's camp is pretty low-key, and so is Daggets. And so are most of camps there. Top-notch services are not the main attraction of the area, and
I personally wouldn't want them to be. Some places have electrical hookups though. Or used to have. There are few hotels, maybe this will work better
for you; some are reasonably priced, and some are ridiculously expensive for Baja Norte.
Baja camps - click on the area, then on the links, sometimes you have to click on the "more information" to get a camp description. Not the most
updated source, but more-less correct.
Scuba diving? Not my forte, but I would think that this isn't something to be done from the BOLA beach. You could hire a panga to go North/South or to
the islands.

Looks like Daggett's has everything I need. I am pretty much self-contained except for a flush toilet/shower, and those sure are nice to have. I will
plan on bringing only the basics in regards to food as I assume fresh seafood will be bountiful and affordable.

All you need is less than 10 minutes away in town. Stores to fuel. Have fun
