Ensenada | Wild Camping

Very safe location in the city center. Well lit, squeezed between the Museum of Science and Cruise Harbor, adjacent to the harbor's security guards booths. It gets busy on the weekends as local buses use this back alley as dropoff/pickup location for hundreds of locals visiting Ensenada

Quite and safe place close to the Centre of the town. Was here for one day and one night, was not the only one.

I stayed here for two nights 12/13 and 12/14. Pretty much as described. It felt safe and no one bothered me or inquired about me being there. Can be noisy in the early evening from people partying at the restaurant and I think there is some kind of convention center on the other side of the lot. Anyway, the noise and music seems to die down by 11:00 pm. After that it’s just the usual city street noise, but not bad. I would stay there again, but might look around for a better spot if I have occasion to stay in Ensenada again. There was an open dumpster which I used to get rid of a small bag of trash.

nous avons passé notre première nuit au Mexique ici, super safe. pas de bruit la nuit, peu de véhicules sur le parking.
vraiment top.

Slept here for a night, seems like the local spot to hangout for couples or younger people. Lot of people chillin in their cars looking at the cruise ships. Definitely quiets down after 8pm and emptys out at night until the morning. Skated up the the 7/11 on the main road for my morning coffee, overall a chill spot and would stay here again.

Update: ended up sleeping here for four nights and absolutely nothing weird happened. No knocks on my door, nothing weird to report. It is safe.

Slept here last night and felt safe. Went to a bar and left the rig with the dogs. Im in a 23 feet camper. “Tourist police” showed up a couple of times and waved. Its pretty quiet, hostess from the bar said its supposedly safe. Wifi reaches the parking spot.

Surprisingly quiet on a Saturday night given it's proximity to downtown. Walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and attractions. Occasional cruise ship horns were kind of peaceful. We felt safe and secure.

In the morning as we were walking our dog, a local woman ran up to us and warned us not to leave our surfboards locked to the roof. She said there are lots of break-ins and window smashes in town. We didn't feel any more at risk here than we do in any urban area. We've camped with our surfboards on the roof in La Paz, Cabo, Ensenada, San Diego, Todos Santos, Guerrero Negro , etc., and have never had a problem. However, we heeded the local advice and got out of there.

Our friends Vanagon had a window smashed in the middle of the day, sometime between 1-3pm. Won’t be staying here again. We had 5 vans parked here and they broke into one of them.

Chose this spot thanks to prior reviews. Obviously safe (it’s safer in Baja than San Diego), and quiet after 10pm. Thanks for the campsite! Was great to go out in town and walk back home after.

Came in at 11 pm, Parked alongside another overland vehicle. Street was surprisingly quiet and clean. Park under /near the bright light. It feels like a dead end but theres a street that follows through the bend. Felt pretty safe. But i still chose to leave pretty early.

Quiet overnight parking. Other overlanders there when we stayed. The toilets at 7-Eleven were not working so we used the hotel bar bathroom without any problems. We stayed 3 nights from 7:00pm to 9:00am.

Es una calle ancha con bastante espacio para aparcar, muy tranquilo, en la esquina hay un 7eleven y a mitad de cuadra un hotel, nosotros llegamos a las 7 de la tarde y nos quedamos hasta las 9 de la mañana, gratis y sin problemas, otros viajeros durmieron aquí también..

Appeared to be a great little spot to spend the night... that is until the marching band showed up at 8pm for their band practice. We ended up moving south to the Walmart because the horn section woke our sleeping babies!

We spent a very quiet night here, and felt safe. We saw police passing by a few times. I could use the 7/11 toilet in the morning.

Was great, felt really safe. The Nissan Security came over and told us it was a safe place and we didnt have to worry hear at all. Slept well & not even sea lions disturbed us ;)

Just as people described - quiet place to spend the night. Very close to the downtown pubs/night life - took us about 10 minutes to walk to restaurants & bars. No issues when parked on this street & things were quiet.

It was a quiet night, you can hear the sea lions, but not to loud.
