We spent a morning at Campo Rene and there are some new things there:
look at the shell art:
the ramp is same as ever:
Inside the restaurant
someone's poem:
most of the items on the menu are NOT available but it sure looks fancy:
and we saw an osprey with a fish as we were leaving...nice send off:

Is Rene on the way to Punta Abreojos? Looks like a great place to grab a bite.

The picture of the "old" campo Rene always brings fond memories. My father used to sit with Rene and later Cappy to tip the bottle (usually tequila)
and talk a little.

Friends just stayed in the two new cabins that have their own bathrooms with hot water. Can't find the photos they sent but they look nicer than the
small boxes with bath rooms out back with iffi water and cleanliness.

Looks nicely cleaned up. It has always been a good place to camp and take off in the day and explore. We'll be back there in June.

Late 90's we drove in and place was closed. We drove down the airstrip and camped on the edge of the Estero and fished from kayaks and marveled at the
huge flocks of birds. The tidal swings were spectacular and in the afternoon on the incoming 6-7 dolphins surfed in and cruised around for a feed and
then headed out. Next day they did the same. It was February and cold but we toughed it out for a couple days then headed to SOC.

Love the place

One of my favorite Baja places. I tried the burger last time I was there, it didn't look like the picture on the menu, not even a little bit. Oh well,
who orders a burger in Baja anyway?

StarS. Campo Rene is indeed on the way from the highway to Abreojos
The fish tacos are ok, nothing to write home about foodwise but the location is spectacular and quite unique......when you go there, you want to spend
hours. Birdwatching is incredible. Fishing is usually great. When kayaking one must watch the tidal pull, it is very strong and I have heard that
sometimes the boats are pulled out Nd have to wait for the tide to come in to return!
Many people spend months there during the hot summers, very nice people.
The new cabins are nice!

Blanca so true. My first experience there as a tourist towing a girlfriend and two kids was less then normal Baja food. The bar was set too high
after eating a a little restaurant in La bocana in the back of a house near the COOP.
Campo Rene more then made up for it''s lack of food with a kayak trip in the estero. Experienced porpoise feeding, small goupers and beautiful
scenery.
I miss that area.

I LOVE that place. It is just such a perfect place to do absolutely nothing except watch the tide come in and out!
Thanks for showing the changes.

Twice I have had to retreat to Rene to escape the SOC heat. In the lagoon we launched a kayak with a small sail. A gust of wind flipped us over in 18"
of water.

Shrimp c-cktails are awesome. The new cabanas look great. A great place to spend an afternoon sipping beers and enjoying the scenery. On our last
Flying Doctors trip we had a great time here. We even water skied behind the jetski. We had dinner here after a fun day at the lagoon.

Great pictures, Blanca! Can you or somebody tell us more specifically where this place is in Baja? We are not familiar with Abreojos. Sounds like a
rustic place with lots of pristine beauty, so they probably don't have R.V. hookups, right? Either way, sounds like a good place to camp.

West and then south of San Ignacio...
About 8 miles north-east from Punta Abreojos by road, see it on the coast of the bay and estero.

Friends stopped by to check out the new doings last week and there wasn't a soul around. They were able to check out the new cabins through the ir
back doors. The were impressed.
