Main road to get to the campground was easy to drive, however, if you decide to keep going straight past the campground to the beach be careful as some parts were quite wet and difficult to traverse (though it did just rain the day before). Camping was 100 pesos and included a very low frills shower and flushing toilet plus wifi. Do check out the margaritas at happy hour and meet some of the locals that frequent the bar. There is a little ex-pat community of Americans who are all very friendly and hospitable that love talking with travelers. One of them told us that the beach there has the largest populations of sand dollars in the world which may or may not be true but there are definitely hundreds littered all along the shore. The dunes were destroyed in the most recent hurricane but it was still a beautiful beach.

200 pesos with are sprinter van. It’s quit but a bit run down. Beach is nice and like 20 minute walk. Nobody here except us. Margarita super strong and nice tortilla with dip. Shower cold. We stayed one 1 night, just a stop over.

Dry camping still 100 pesos (we were here with one tent and two motorcycles) incl. hot shower and WiFi. Nice staff, restaurant is good - main dishes around 160-230 pesos.

We stayed a night in a tent. Clean toilet and shower, very windy. A bunch of US Americans who live nearby come over for happy our daily. Other than that not a gorgeous spot. Quiet enough, but nothing great. 200 pesos for dry camping in a tent with bycicles.

wouldn't recommend this place for dry camping right now. Price was 100 pesos. WiFi reaches camping area. Bathrooms seem to have been damaged by a storm. There's one toilet with running water and one cold shower. Both rooms have a big hole in the roof so are covered with a layer of dust.

We hit a rain storm for several hours getting here. The road in is paved except for the last kilometer and it was fine. A lot of the other roads in the area were a quagmire. Had an excellent dinner in the restaurant, coconut shrimp and the Mex Combo. margaritas were big and full strength! Paid 100 pesos for the dry camping. There's flush toilets but the heat was off to the showers. Wifi was good even at the dry camp.

Lots of space for big rigs, water and sewer only. No electricity. We spent a month here since we were visiting some friends from San Quintin. Nightly rate 200 pesos, monthly rate 3500 pesos. Playground and trampoline for kids. Lots of loose dogs around, but didn’t bother us nor our dogs. 10 min walk to the beach or short drive if you have 4x4. Restaurant was average and quite expensive, happy hour daily 4-5pm. The owners and staff are very nice. Safe place.

Cheap place to camp for the night. Restaurant was mediocre and a bit pricey, showers were not warm but grateful to rinse off nonetheless.

Stayed 2 nights. was very easy to get into with our 36ft 5th wheel. They have 8 sights with water and sewer. There is no power at the sites. We have solar so it didn't mater but if you don't you would have to use a generator. Spoke to the owner about the power as other reviews mentioned that there was power here. She was very nice and said that they did have a generator to power the campground but they have switched over to solar and do not have enough panels to supply the whole park. It's a work in progress. There are also 4 or 5 dry camping spots. we paid 200 Pesos for our site and it's 100 pesos a night for the dry camping sites. I saw a review saying that this was too much but let's put this in perspective, $5 or $10 a night is absolutely amazing! Think of what a site costs in Canada or the US! Also, these are family run businesses not big chains so I think its great knowing that the money is actually helping out a hard working family. There is a restaurant here but we did not try it. The wifi did not work at our site(#7) but Telcel works here 4 bars of Lte. Short 10 minute walk to a sand dune beach. It's an amazing beach and worth the walk down! It was very quiet at night. NO ROSTERS! There were 2 big dogs at the entrance but they did not come to our site and when they saw our small dog they did not bother her. Would definitely stay here again!

Paid 100 pesos to dry camp in parking lot. 200 pesos for inside (electric). Hotel rooms available very cheap. Family friendly location, English speaking owners. Seems their business has been hit hard due to the pandemic like so many others in Baja. This place is worth the visit. Amazing food, cheap beers.

We took advantage of the restaurant, wifi & dry camping here. Lovely space with pool table & games. Showers and toilets on site that we didn’t use. Nice walk to the sand dunes and beach!

$5 dry camping. Lovely 1 mile hike to the dunes and ocean. Restaurant has good food, great margaritas. Nice, friendly owners and full time residents. Hot showers, but, bathrooms need some repairs. Our favorite Baja stop thus far.

We love this place. Big spots for dry camping. 90 pesos. Short walk to the beach. The Mexican combo plate and margs in the restaurant are enough of a reason to visit.

Ok for one night. They had a restaurant and a bar which was nice. The food was good. Dry camping 5US. Was able to dump and fill up with water before we left. They have happy hour at 4pm too. The WiFi was decent- avg.

Skip the crab. Drink the margaritas instead. 90 pesos to dry camp. Lots of dogs loose so if you have your own like we do...be careful. The ones here were super territorial and weren’t stoked on our pooches crashing the party

Great campground. They have 8 full hookup back-in sites and at least 3 pull thru dry camping. Worked great for our caravan of big rigs (40+ft).
10 min walk to the beautiful beach.
The food at the restaurant was good and the margaritas were super strong!
The crab dish was huge and delicious

Margaritas and crab were great! Stumbled back to our dry camping spot. Good wifi. 80 pesos.

nice place, 10min walking from the beach, reserot near looks old, it tastes similar.. wifi works! To me 100mxp for dry camping with cold water is still overpriced being in Mexico, but thats other story..

We stayed in their parking lot for one week. As described, you can dry camp in the dusty parking lot for 90MP, that includes the use of toilets (only one shower and one toilet with a hole in the roof available at the moment). For 180MP you park inside and get pretty much the same. We asked the guy at the reception and he let us fill our water tank and empty the grey water one when we were leaving. Overall this place looks like a 70's motel, everything looks kind of old and not taken care of. Many retired Americans around. On the other hand, for 90 pesos you get a safe and calm place to stay with a decent wifi and ok toilets, which might turn out cheaper than staying for free at the Misión Santa María and be forced to eat a meal per day. Food was great and everybody was super nice. Also this place is less than a 10 minutes walk to the beach, which is not that beautiful but has some cool sand dunes.

Stayed here one night, as described. Although they do not offer electricity of any kind at the sites anymore, as of the last 6 months this is the situation. So have to charge your phone in the restaurant. Had margaritas at the bar and all the permanent American residents get together at happy hour for a drink. Good WiFi reaches sites. Nice place although quite random! Nice walk to the beach :) paid 150 for 2 people in a van

ABSOLUTELY love this place! The crab is the best around and worth the MX300. That's about $16.67 U.S. You're not going to find that good of crab dish in the states for that price. Dry camping is only $5. Water and septic is an extra $5. Wifi is free. A double room is MX450 and only MX50 a person after 2. They're now on solar power, so there's power throughout the night with heaters in the hotel rooms. Unfortunately, because there's no guarantee that the rvs won't run all the battery power down, that means as of right now there's no power hook ups just water and septic. But there's flushing toilets, running water, and hot showers. I never pass by the area without stopping here. The undeveloped beach is within walking distance. Less than a mile. You can hear the waves at night. It's peaceful and the people who work here and live here are just great. Oh and happy hour is from 4pm to 5pm. Restaurant is open 7am-10pm every day except Christmas! A MUST visit destination.

Our fave so far in Baja. The crab at the restaurant is EVERYTHING. The beach is EVERYTHING. The campground was quiet and safe. The people who live there are cool as cucumbers. Clean bathrooms with hot water. The beach was completely deserted, hidden by dunes the dog loved playing in. Clam fisherman show up at 330 - neat to watch. Charges us 160 pesos. Could have been cheaper bc we don't need hookups but they were so sweet that we didn't bother trying.

On arrival he said M$70 for dry camping no hookup (later when we paid for food/drinks/camping combined it went up to M$80. Camping is parking in a dusty spot of ground near the restaurant but facilities were OK. Flush toilet with TP provided and cold shower. Toilets in the restaurant were quite nice with soap and paper towels. Unfortunately we didn't have enough cash (they don't accept card) to order cracked crab but we ordered quesadillas M$70 each for 3 which were served with refried beans - very good. Also received complimentary tortilla chips and dip as an appetiser and complimentary black bean soup for starter. Margaritas were awesome M$75 unless happy hour (half price).

Paid $75 pesos for no hookup. Shower was warm and ok. The place was deserted and felt like a resort from the 80's which had never been renovated! happy hour between 4 and 5pm, 1/2 price on beers and margaritas. WiFi was good and we had the WiFi signal from the camping area. Dog friendly. Good for one night stop.

We stayed here because Victoria had read about the cracked crab they serve at the restaurant, it did not disappoint! – PROS: Hot (albeit smelly) showers, free fast wifi, electric and water hookups, amazing dinner and margaritas in the restaurant, quick walk to a deserted beach – CONS: basically a dusty parking lot next to a restaurant, not in walking distance to anything except the restaurant. – 10USD/night – GPS: 30.40884 N, 115.92326 W
