Ok, I have been frequenting Archelon for 6 years, I like the improvements and the funky/clean showers, the restaurant and all. But, they have to do something about the annoying barking dogs. Peace and quiet used to be great here.

Report Check-In

Expensive place. We decided to camp for one night since we wanted to eat at the restaurant there. They had no palapa camp sites but offered an open place near the beach at the same rate ($22usd). Unknown to us they later also placed 4 other vans right next to us with minimal spacing. We left and did get our money back, but we didn’t like the fact that they didn’t let us know. Moved to La Gringa instead and are so much happier!

$22 us for two people with 24 ft class c, wanted to charge for tow but said no. Restaurant very good , nice sandy beach , very little wind this end of bay. Went down to El Gringo, gravel beach lots of wind , may be free but Archelon better deal even though gringo is free. People running very friendly.

After the September hurricane the campground and the entrance road is restored and nice.

fee: motorhome per person US DOLLAR 10. with Palapa 12 US Dollar per person.

if you pay by credit card plus 3 per cent for the card.

and they make you a bad exchange rate to mex. pesos! why is price not in peso?

showers are very bad. from four, only one at the ladies worked well!
no space to store your clothes or soap and shampoo.

the worst are the campers themselves with the dogs. let them shit every day in the sand without collecting the poop.
some have three of them. if there are only 5 dogs (we had about twelve! at the time we stood) x 7 days = you will find 35 shit heaps at the beach. Dog holders: neither do I shit in front of your house. The same I expect from you and your puppies.
wake up! you're not alone.

Report Check-In

We arrived in the afternoon and the palapas were all taken. We got a basic site for $20/2 adults with a neighbor about 10’ away. Showers are hot but terrible - a literal trickle of water. The toilets are good. The cafe is also good.

It‘s a decent campground with hot showers and wifi. If you don’t need that head to La Gringa which we preferred.

Report Check-In

Very chill spot, food was very good. Margaritas were the best I’ve had in years. Staff is friendly attentive. Stefano and Jesus took good care of us while we were here. Didn’t stay right on the beach as it seemed a little crowded for my taste. Stayed 50 feet back behind the large Palapa, hardy picnic space?
Washrooms were very clean, hadn’t try the showers as of yet. Water was cool but very clear. Lots of Pelicanos small birds and lots of smaller shorebirds. At this point we’ve stayed nine days and are very happy to stay longer.
Highly recommend

We rolled in late afternoon without a reservation. $10 per person with hot showers, bathrooms and wifi! Staff is friendly, grounds are clean, would recommend whether it's a quick overnighter or extended stay.

10$/pp - 170mexican dollar

Pros :
- The cafe is fabulous ! Great food, quite healthy (fish & vegetariens options, greatly appreciated)
- WiFi is pretty good in the cafe and you can sometimes reach it the campsites
- Some spots are right on the beach
- Lovely staff

Cons :
- Some spots (if already quite full) have views on small concrete buildings… not what you want. For the same price.
- The restrooms and showers… need a big renovation. In the women showers it’s not that bad (tiles on the wall) but the rest is just concrete, not clean and lots of spiders crawling around… not what you want.

Overall I’m not sure I recommend it, depend of the spot you can get I guess. If you only need WiFi for a fews hours, then grab an avocado burrito or fish quesadillas and use the WiFi. Then go to the amazing free camp at La Gringa (what we did second day).

BAHIA DE LOS ANGELES
The road in from the highway had received recent hurricane damage, although road crews have gotten the road to a point where any vehicle of any kind has no challenges.

CAMP ARCHELON
Campground
$200P per night
Week stay, 7th night free

This campground is family owned. Currently Antonio, the oldest son is the face of the business with his mother and sister providing back-up when needed.

The grounds consists of (3) beach front, wild camping spots.. all side-by-side and in fact pretty tight. Then there are a number of palapa's around the property, most of which are beach-front and nicely spaced.

Although, like most Baja Campgrounds, we would like to see more day-to-day maintenance, upkeep and constant improvements, we must admit, overall.... this campground exceeded our expectations in many ways.

Friendliness of the staff
Cleanliness of bathrooms/showers
Hot water of the showers
Space between beach-front palaces
On-property restaurant/bar
On-property beach-front sushi spot

PAYMENT
We paid $20P per night for a beach-front palapa.
CC or cash accepted

AMENITIES
Bathrooms (running water)
Showers (unlimited hot water)
Garbage (trash & recycling)
Palapas (beach-front)
Starlink (included)
Safe
Restaurant (especially good)
Bar (LARGE margaritas)
Sushi Spot (nightly - right on the beach)
Antonio (friendly/English speaking)

DUMP
There is a dump for $10 US @ Daggits... another campground location if you were to pass by Camp Archelon... although way before you reach the end of the road at wild camping location La Gringa.

I will add, after visiting Daggits, we were grateful that we were able to stay at Camp Archelon and La Gringa as our stay location.

WATER
In town, there is La Mission where 200L/50G is about $7 US. We did not utilise this location although we did drive by it and witness a truck camper out front with a hose going within.

OVERALL
If you are looking for a camp ground, this one comes with all the amenities and although it not up to the standards of the US... it VERY much exceeded our expectations and therefore we will return when visiting Bahia de Los Angeles.

Report Check-In

Beautiful camp spot right along the beach. Recommend reservations since there were no palapas available when we arrived, but owners let us find spot for our campervan along the beach where there were only 3-4 other campervans.

One neighbor was rude and dumped her pee tank right into the sand at her site which made it smell like pee… gross! Be respectful and only dump at appropriate dump sites please!

Owner’s big dogs give other dogs space and are calm, but one of their frenchies is a bit of a bully to other dogs and fearful/barky with people. But they ended up keeping them away so they didn’t bother guests dogs who were mostly either onleash and calm or it off leash, very calm dogs who were good at ignoring and giving space to each other. Be a good guest/neighbor and keep your dog onleash/outside the cafe if they invade other dogs space/run right up to them/are pushy about play or act dominant.

Food and espresso drinks at Siete Filos cafe were delicious and healthy - recommend their smoked fish dishes and their choco flan cake. Their Iori Sushi “restaurant” on the beach was delicious too with all freshly caught fish, shrimp and scallops of the day made into crudo, poke, rolls or hand roll type dishes. Pricey for Mexico, but good portions and still cheaper than what you’d pay for the same amount in the US - recommend given the freshness and the ambience of sunset dinner on the beach.

We were also super lucky to see orca whales (rare sightings in Bahia de Los Angeles) on our boat outing with Marcos ($200 for 4 hours but can take up to 6 people).

Will return in our way back!

Fourth time here. Family run eco camp. Hot showers, wifi at cafe. Palapas right on the beach. Dog freindly. Clean surroundings (No garbage strewn all over.) Close to town. Staff very friendly and accomadating....will be back many times. 5 star!!!

Beautiful place with great food and drink; only downside really was more than one dog (owners possibly?) barking at nothing most of the night, really degraded the experience via lack of sleep. Could easily be remedied with the offending furrys kept inside overnight

Report Check-In

It was a beautiful drive from San Quintin to Bahia de Los Angeles! As we got closer there were roads being repaired and at times dirt roads due to the Hwy 12 being washed out. Campo Archelon is lovely and the views from our palapa “Pellicano” were spectacular! We had a great dinner in their restaurant “Siete FILOs Cafe”. It was so hot we were grateful to be in our truckcamper with AC to sleep. The next day we stayed in the cafe all day researching the next few stops. We met owner Antonio who shared a lot of great information and suggestions for our journey. The entire staff was friendly and helpful, most could speak English. We had dinner the second night again delicious!
Try any of the Smoked fish dishes, and the tuna croquettes!
Highly recommend staying here!

Great place- though a bit pricey. We needed the reset after being on the road for a while and the beachfront palapa was just the place for it. Justified the price for the opportunity to access good wifi, kind hosts, dish sink, showers etc. highly recommend “Estrella” palapa. Stayed 2 nights

21 usd non negotiable. A little too much. Prices are changing. 8 usd is only for car/motorcycle. Im alone in my camper and still 21. I spent a night for free in La Gringa and another one here. They have showers, the cafe with good wifi and vegan/veggie options. They accept cards with 3%.

Nice campground but we did not stay here because the spot for campers only hold about 4 vehicles very tight. They have other lodging options. We made the mistake of staying at Daggetts!

Spent New Year 2023 at Campo Archelon.

We first visited here one year ago over Christmas, and a lot of changes transpired since then.

Hurricane Kate hit Baja in September and caused extensive flash flooding. Campo Archelon received quite a blow, but owners Antonio and Alejandra clearly have worked tirelessly to recover.

A year ago their mother's dog Nina was just a puppy. she's grown now, and is very protective of their mother's house. She's responsible for some of the "bad dog" feedback, but Antonio has made changes to make sure Nina stays out of trouble.

We had the good fortune to attend a New Year pot luck celebration they hosted at Cafe Siete Filos.

They are exceptionally generous and thoughtful and we look forward to returning, hopefully during Whale Shark season.

We appreciate the good facilities and their commitment to good stewardship.

Report Check-In

We stayed here for four nights. It’s amazing. The cafe is great for meals and playing games at night. It has a real communal feel and it is a great spot to meet other travelers and share beta. Contrary to other reports we did not encounter aggressive dogs. It’s Mexico. There are stray dogs everywhere so you need to pay attention to where your off leash dog is roaming. If you’re planning to come during high season I recommend making a reservation. We showed up without one and were able to stay but did have to move for one night. It was fine. We had a blast. Highly recommend this oasis of calm and community. The smoked fish is phenomenal. Try it.

Report Check-In

We didn't stay here as it isn't big rig friendly. The site they wanted us to park in was next to a van and we would have been right in his kitchen and sticking out on the roadway. They never did tell us what the cost would be.

Wonderful setting! We drove in with our Prius with no problem. Our site was as close to the beach as allowed, they don’t allow tenting on the beach for environmental reasons. Had dinner at the restaurant, the smoked fish panini was good. Toilets and showers were clean and tidy.

A great spot on the water. The staff seemed a little disorganised in terms of checking in and where we could camp but we were lucky to get a palapa. The cafe with the WiFi was a nice bonus, however the food is more lunch style than dinner. We came for one night and ended up staying for three so overall we really enjoyed it

Would have stayed a week but for the staff’s aggressive dog who he said to stay away from because he is just protecting his territory. Hmmmm. Then don’t have guests.

Campsite directly on the sea. Without palapa 6 US $ per night.

Wifi is only available in the café and not on the site. The pitches (without palapa) are right next to each other and not very cozy. The bay can be very very windy. The water pressure in the showers is very weak and we had almost no hot water.

The owners' dogs run around freely on the campsite day and night (including a Belgian shepherd). The dogs are not a bit educated and seem aggressive. They bark and run very close to you. The shepherd dog tried to bite my leg.

You feel very unsafe especially at night because of the dogs.

I can't quite understand all the great reviews but I think the owner of the place has changed.

We absolutely loved this spot! They have 6 large beachfront palapas with stone walls and fire pits for $8 USD per person per night and dry camping spots on the beach for $6 USD. Clean hot water showers, sinks, and flushing toilets. Firewood for sale. Reservations can be made online and recommended during high season. They also rent cabins with full kitchen and bathroom starting at $80 USD. 24/7 decent speed wifi is included in the rate (signal is best at cafe). The on-site cafe/restaurant has breakfast options, salads, paninis, pastries, coffee, local beer and wine. Trash is sorted for recycling and compost. Locally owned and operated by a family of marine biologists. Absolute gem of a find and a perfect spot for digital nomads like us. Will definitely return!

The other reviews provide an accurate picture of the amenities at Campo Archelon so we won’t repeat them here. Instead, we’ll just say that when we settled into our spot by the water next to our palapa, we could literally feel our muscles relax, the stress melt away, and our minds slide into the “don’t worry, be happy” mode. Beatriz, Antônio, and Alejandra make you feel like family and go out of their way to accommodate your needs and wants. Also, they are actively involved in preserving and improving the ecology and the economy of the area. It’s on our list of Baja favorites!

5 STARS . Absolutely delightful place. Covid aware, restaurant staff wore masks. We extended our visit another week. Ecology minded Mother and Son run this place. $6 per night per person if no palapa. $8 with palapa. Showers, flush toilets sparkling clean. ( Not handicap friendly , huge step into womens toilet. Restaurant has easier access restrooms) There are also 2 small houses for rent 70.00 per night. Didnt see inside, but they were full more often then empty during our 2 weeks here.

We have a small camper, parked our window to the ocean and enjoyed beach sand and Sea of Cortez waterfowl. They no longer loan kayaks as some campers had life threatening exsperience.
Wi-Fi was spotty, wind seems to vary connectivity for this community. It was usually available at the restaurant and on the familys front porch (which is set up with chairs and tables for visitors to use). Dog friendly place, 3 large dogs live on property keeping coyotes away, yes some barking heard as they police through the night. My dog enjoyed playing on the beach with their pack.
Quality food and Beverages enjoyed in restaurant. The ice cream became an evening treat most nights. As did fires on the beach under the clear sky's. Magical place.

Sept-Nov Is the time of year that Whale Sharks feed in the Bay. Give yourself a treat. Hire Marcos for an Eco tour. 200 bucks. Approx 4 hrs in his boat enjoying the islands and animals. We saw 3 Whale Sharks, breathtaking! Water wasn't quite clear enough for us to attempt to snorkel with them. We observed scientists with them. Absolute JOY!!

Wonderful spot on the beach, owner is super friendly and speaks some English. Awesome beach. We camped without a palapa for $200peso, wifi cost an extra 20 peso per person but she only charged us for one. Showers were luke warm but we didn’t mind as it was nice and refreshing. No potable water she told us we had to go to town for that. Everything was clean and well kept!

Cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! First of all, Antonio and his family are LOVELY- he even let us ride with him into town and helped us call and book our ferry in La Paz. WiFi works best best the house, showers and bathrooms are clean and nice. The location is BEAUTIFUL and unlike what other users were saying, we had no issue with the winds at all. Overall it was really idyllic, would highly recommend and definitely stay again

Nice place. we didn't need a palapa so they charged us $200 for truck & 2 people. Not a bad price for the location and excellent bathrooms/showers. Wi-fi was fast but only reaches close to the office/house.

Only want to add a major point: if you are affraid of violent winds, you should avoid this place (and the Bay I guess). According to locals, it's the every day life : winds are running from 5PM to noon, making outside life almost impossible (even under the palapa where we couldn't eat one night, unless you like to eat sand in your food ! ). I"m writing this in the middle of the night. It's to windy to sleep! It's the only bad thing about this paradise where we spent 3 nights (this last one is really scary, we can't take anymore). I'm glad I'm not sleeping in a tent as the van is shaking right now.

Excellent run place. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Place is more focused on renting Bungalows then camping, but the few palapas places are great. However place only works for small RV's / Vans. Showers are hot and bathrooms clean. Everything is in great state and working. Good WiFi, but only close to owners home. Only downside, are the crazy winds which blow mostly at night, but sometimes very violent. (Had one night Gusts of 50 Knots!)

Antonio is creating a real jewel of a camp here. Very cheap for the quality of facilities. Wifi and kayaks can be used for small fee. Great kayaking. Sites are a bit closer together but I also think this is one of the BEST paid campgrounds in all of Baja. They also recycle, have hot showers, and are just incredibly good people.

Wow! What a fabulous place this is! The beach and campsites are great, but even more importantly, the owner (Antonio) was super nice and helpful. Plus, you’ll meet great people camping there and folks who live nearby. We had mechanical problems with our RV and needed to stay a week to figure out our repairs. The WiFi there saved us! Highly recommend!

Très beau camping, propre et bien entretenu, possibilité de louer un palapa. La vue est magnifique. Le seul bémol le prix est par personne 150 pesos, ça revient donc beaucoup trop cher pour nous. 150x3=450... 30.90$ canadien, dommage on serait resté plus longtemps...

Great spot! Would not mind some more pressure and control of the shower. But being in the desert, water need to be conserved. The owners mother and son are extremely friendly, even invited everyone for Thanksgiving dinner. Carlos ecotourism on site. Great for our day of whale shark searching. stayed 4 days.

Great place. Stayed at the beach with our 21ft motorhome without palapa, 8$ pp. Used the free kayaks to explore the coast a bit. Did the whaleshark tour (no sightings garanteed this time of year) and it was absolutely great. 200 USD for a 4 hour tour per boat (we were 5, so 40$ pp). We saw/swam with the whalesharks, saw dolphins up close and snorkeled around a cosy beach. Antonio offered to look after our dog when we were on the trip. Showers are not really hot and have almost no pressure. Overall this place has a good vibe!

Had an amazing stay here. The manager Antonio invite me to his American friends and their party and few days later I was celebrating Thanks Giving with them. Did the whale shark tour with the eco tours on his place for 470 pesos as we have been 5 people sharing the money for the tour. Antonio really tries to make me a comfortable stay and the vibe and community in this places is just super nice. Highly recommend this place and will come back. Only thing the shower pressure is super low and having a warm shower is not possible.

great place to stay/camp. I rode my motorcycle in and camped in one of the huts, used the wifi and had a great time.

Report Check-In

Quite a few good things to say about this place.
First is this place is run and operated by locals (Antonio&Bety) whose advice is always the best.
You can camp in front of the beach which is one of the calmest we’ve seen.
Prices are good. For the palapas you get one day free if you spend the week.
The showers are good, you just have to ask Antonio how to solve it if the pressure is low.
Perhaps the best thing is the wildlife you get to see. During the week we staid we had the luck of seeing a huge amount of birds, dolphins, fish, etc.
Recommended!

Great place to stay for a night or more. We camped in the front of their house right at the beach (200 Pesos / 2 persons). Kajak free to use, lot of birds and maybe more wildlife ;)! Great owners, very friendly and helpful!

This place has many reviews that we found to be true.
We used the free kayaks, hot showers, nice restrooms, so-so WiFi and made friends with lots of different Overlanders who invited us to their nightly fire.
However last night was extremely windy. Obviously this has nothing to do with campsite itself but just be aware because it was probably the worst wind we’ve experienced and no one slept.
In the little town we got chips,water, beer etc.. at market (there are two little markets side-by-side) and ate tacos from taco stand.
We were also able to fill up our gas.

Report Check-In

nice small place right on the water. $8usd or 140 pesos per person, which is the most we've had to pay in all of Baja. there were kayaks available and fire pits, but it was so windy we couldn't use either. hoped to catch the whale sharks but they were already gone. there is internet in the office but it wasn't even fast enough for the owner to run the credit card, much less use the internet. the price would be ok if you could take full advantage of what is offered, but if you can't because it's windy or not shark season, it's a bit much

Spent a nice evening here. The camp was quiet and the palapas were in excellent shape (freshly raked/cleaned). The tables were a huge plus. The kids enjoyed playing on the beach but didn't go in the water as it was rocky and we were told there were a fair number of sting rays in the shallows. They did enjoy picking through the tide pools the next morning (during low tide).

After sunset a vast number of teeny tiny bugs flocked into the camper (right through the bug screen); it was crazy. Fortunately they weren't the biting kind and we promptly turned off the light. Bathrooms were clean and in excellent condition. We would stay here again, but be wiser about the bugs in the future.

We rented a boat (and captain) for $150 USD/2500 pesos and went down to Playa Gringa to see the whale sharks. It was amazing watching them circle round at the surface to consume small schools of fish. It was the highlight of our time in the Bay. There is no ATM in town so plan accordingly.

This place is a hidden gem. If you're looking for a quiet sanctuary on a beach, this is for you. With palapas and hot (not strong pressure) showers and toilets. Also the owner of the camp is very lovely and happy to help with anything, she also lends her kayaks out for no extra charge. I will definitely be recommending this to my mates!

Quiet camp on the beach with 6 palapas ($8/person) or sand camping area in front of their house/office $5/person). Flush toilets are nice and clean, smelled good and have doors but aren't totally enclosed so they're not hot inside. Fish cutting station. Boat for rent. He offered to let us use his kayaks but we didn't have time this stop. Antonio is super friendly. Coyotes at night so keep an eye on your pets. They have cabins for rent too. Some far-off dogs of a neighbor barked for a long time into the night but our fan was loud enough to cover their sound.

Awesome spot right on the beach. Really nicely run by Antonio and Bety. Prices as listed before still in effect. Flush toilets with soap and TP provided (sink runs salt water). Unsure about the potable water though so I wouldn't count on it. Great to see so much recycling in effect, separate bins for all types of rubbish (except general waste strangely). Showers weren't hot but we're definitely warm. BEAUTIFUL spot. Town nearby has a couple of small Mercados for a few groceries, gas station (unleaded and diesel) and first taco stand on the way into town sells awesome fish tacos M$18. No cell service anyway near here though
