Camping Prices
I was just browsing another baja site that listed the rates at some popular camping beaches.
They said $10 per night at El Requeson !?!?!
Two years ago it was $3 !!
Anyone know if this is true ??
Any other camping rates for this year ?
Gypsies ?
Rancho St Inez ?
Orchards ?
El Requeson ?
Coyote ?
Manfreds ?
La Ventana ?
Is Los Ceritos still just a parking lot full of flies or has someone fixed it up ?
What about the place on the water just outside of Todos Santos ? Heard the camping and hotel rooms were damaged last year ?

The place outside of Todos Santos that had palapas on the beach and maybe 8 rooms is still there. We stayed in one of the rooms about a year
ago...definitely not 4 star but clean and hot water. Our friend did not feel as secure and slept on the top of his bed with a blanket that they had
furnished..he didnt like the look of the sheets....ours were fine. And I look.....ain't getting into a strange bed without checking for critters.
The restaurant is still there but we did not eat there. I dont that that the rooms were cheap...somthing like 35 or 40 which I felt was a lot for
what we got but............
Los Cerritos has been sold and the coconut telegraph has it that the new owners are kicking all the rv's out. I have never been there so dont know
exactly what that means but someone else told me that camping for the night or two was still allowed.
We paid 30pesos about 3 months ago to camp south of Requeson and La Perla.
Manfred is back at his place and it is much cleaner but I dont remember what we paid...hot showers and clean toilets. and of course Manfred who
should have been a field marshall. I got a kick out of watching him lead a caravan of Airstreams out of his place...he was in charge and loving it.
buen viaje

I am not trying to be snooty, but we try never to camp in pay places..much prefering the off-road spots or isolated beaches that are free. I think I
would pay twice the campfee in gas just to be by ourselves. It's more Baja and 'yours'. Here's a freebie on the Pacific coast near some good
surfing.

Only reason I can think of is if you wanted to go into, say, San Felipe for the afternoon and didn't want to drive far afterward. We want to do that
the next time we're down there. But clearly the quality of the time is going to be a lot less than if you're off camping by yourself in a spot you
chose.

Actually it wasn't bad. Lots of noise and action during the day but everyone quieted down by 2230-2300. We did have the occasional firework go off
around 2400 but not often.
The place was a zoo (but a fun zoo) during the days with every vendor you could think of driving/walking around, kids playing ball on the road, people
flying kites (I had my stunt kite up there with the rest of them). The wind created some interesting problems though. More than one inflatable boat
was seen flying over the campgrounds
The only problem I had was when I tried to leave in my toad to run up to Mulage for some shopping. It took me about 4 trys to get out of there. They
really needed a traffic cop on that one-lane enterance road!

Good to hear about Rcho St Inez still reasonable..we have camped there a lot with our 5th Wheel. Oddly enough, that was the last place furthest south
that we could get satellite TV reception via Direcway on a 18" roof dish...oh yes, even in Baja I need my TV! Got to watch Tiger make those putts!

Yeah, I think Rancho St Inez must be a well kept secret. When I was there, there was one other RV'er and a couple of tent campers and that was it. The
RV park (if you want to call it a "park") on the highway was about half full! I do wish they would fix the road though, it's getting pretty rough.
I thought about trying my Dish there but the wind was so bad I was afraid it would tear the thing off the roof mount. Dish works fine in San Quinten
though, that's as far south as I've been able to get a signal with that 18" dish. I'm a CNN junkie myself.

After 23 years traveling around the world in the military sea services and 10 years doing it as a Marine Electrical/Electronics Consultant for an
International Naval Architect/Marine Engineering firm, I retired so I could travel around the North/South American Continents in an RV. Not bad for a
Moon Child. 
Actually I watch both CNN and Fox, plus BBC World News, CBN, and Links (a news program that takes segments from different mid-east and european TV),
to get different outlooks on everything. So I won't hold it against you if you only watch Fox, just be very sorry for your limited viewing habits.

Hey, no fair using a C band dish!!! I'm not going to play if you cheat 
I'm kinda limited to portable type stuff since I live in an RV. (I keep getting this picture in my head of me with a 20' dish on top, scary )
Besides, I thought you were going to turn that 20' dish into a palapa?

But, before I leave here are a few more prices.
Mona Lisa (Ensenada) $15 US/nite (They prefer US money)
Cielito Lindo (San Quinten) $8 US/nite
Malarrimo (Guerrero Negro) $18 US/nite
Las Palmas (Santa Rosalia) $14 US/nite
Riviera Del Mar (Loreto) $15 US/nite
Aquamarina (La Paz) $18 US/nite (recent increase do to skyrocketing elect rates in the La Paz area)
Vagabundos (Los Cabos) $18 US/nite
All of these are as of March/April
Almost all of the above will give you a discount if you show a Vagabudos Membership card. Discount ranges from 10 to 20%.
