Look for various threads on the HWY 5 construction. There's 23 miles if dirt from about Gonzaga to Laguna Chapala. Do a search for these key words,
and you'll find tons of info.

Eduardo, Welcome to the forum! I see from your profile, that you are much younger than most of the folks who follow this forum. If you check back
to look for reply's to your post, it would be helpful for us to know a few things about you.
What are you driving or riding, or are you using buses and rides?
Are you solo or with a group?
Are you camping, low budget roomer, or looking for some comfort?
From your e-mail address, it appears that Spanish is your first language, so you will do much better than most explorers. Check back for updates, and
have a great trip!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Gonzaga Bay
We went to Gonzaga Bay for the first time last November. The 23 miles of dirt road were not too bad and we found Gonzaga Bay to be beautiful. We
camped there for 2 nights while fishing and paddle boarding in the Bay. We spent the first night in a campground that got more and more crowded during
the night and next morning. Admittedly, part of the crowds was due to the fact the the Baja 1000 was going through. After the first night, we moved to
a more isolated campground further south and were the only folks there. It was clean and even had showers. The name escapes me but it had something to
do with a whale. The caretaker was charming. We will definitely spend more time there in the future. With the new highway, it cut down our driving
time immensely from Southern Baja to Colorado. The little store across the highway was great for re-supplying and we even found some different
tequilas that were quite delicious. Enjoy your trip !!!!!

We are headed down in the very near future. How was the road coming in to Beluga? From google earth looks like sand near the beach. Will be pulling
a car trailer behind Class A motorhome.
Thanks,

Part of the road coming into Beluga IS very sandy, but just keep a good pace/momentum...its well traveled... Beluga is nice, because of the
availability of the flush toilets and showers (room temp)...we usually stay at GB because of the friends that we have made over the years are up
there...
