I was down there last month, I hadn't been there in about 20 years as well... I got there pretty late, and did not really find anywhere to camp that I
liked. There are some people camping in the arroyo to the west of the main road. Where I thought was going to be beach camping was instead a large
fish camp of some sort on the beach from the arroyo up north to the cliff side.
I actually ended up driving all the way back north up to Buena Vista and getting a hotel room... but I really do not know that area very well.
Almost camped right north of Cabo Pulmo, but it too just didn't "jive" with me. Close to the road, and wasn't that pretty.

In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for
you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the
future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?

It probably hasn't changed much since you were there 20 years ago, though as mentioned, there's now a large fish camp set up just off of the beach.
Lot's of people camp around there, as it's an arroyo & free. If you're expecting a groomed campground - this place is probably not for you.
The closest restaurants to that area are in Cabo Pulmo, which is about 6 miles to the north. There are anywhere between 3 and 5 eating places to
choose from, depending on which ones are open for business when you're there. There's also an arroyo just north of that town where people camp, but
again, not fancy.
There are also lots of bungalows for rent in Cabo Pulmo, if you decide you don't want to camp. I'd check ahead ASAP though - sometimes it's hard to
find availability.
In Los Frailes, I think there is only one house that's currently being rented (on the pricey side), and there's no longer any hotel/bungalow
accommodations available.

Thank you! I've been to Cabo Pulmo recently and will probably stay there.

Where is there? Frailes or CP? Arbolitos gets lots of traffic these days. I prefer cheap rentals in Pulmo or beaches just to the north. Let us
know . Surfari Girl? Quite the tag. Tio

Although most obvious camping spots are populated this time of year, there is still good private beach camping in the area if you have 4x4, won't
elaborate, you'll find them if you really want too.
